Well, my wife and I found out last Thursday...we're having a baby girl!! Gonna name her Elizabeth Grace. Hope mommy doesn't mind a little girl playing Halo with daddy...;)
On the basement front, we've got everything basically done, save the flooring. We were going to do hardwood, but its too much of a pain to upkeep, especially w/ my dog running around. SO...we're going with carpet. Should be installed in about a week. Once that's done, its just a little bit of touch-up on the walls, and then have the furniture ordered/delivered. Once everything is complete, I'll update with some pictures, because the changes are QUITE drastic compared to the barren drywall from last time.
On the gaming front, Fallout 3 looks to be the game to beat this fall...every video is just making the wait that much harder. I've also pre-ordered Fable II, but, thankfully, not the CE version...WTF, Microsoft....since when does a CE version lose all of its CE stuff?! I still want the Fallout 3 lunchbox, but I just can't justify the extra cost right now...

about me
Lets see...I'm not that creative, so I'll just go over the basics:
I'm 30 (yeah, I'm officially old...now get off my lawn!)
I currently work for a big insurance company, but that will change in 2 years after I get my Masters and become a professional bean counter (3x the salary, b1tches!)
As for gaming...my parents bought me an NES in 1986 and they have regretted that purchase to this day. I've been through a game boy, game gear, SNES, N64, Xbox, PS1, PS2, and currently enjoying the 360, Wii, and most recently the PS3 (wife's still pissed about that last one).
I was an editor of a now defunct gaming site, but now a Dtoid Army member.
