Right now I would like to be playing MGS4, but I can't. I can't because in order to really play MGS4 (or any MGS game for that matter), I need at least an hour of play time to devote to the game. This is because 75% of the time spent playing the game is spent watching cut scenes and you can't simply cut the game off or save in the middle of a scene. You have to watch it all the way through, hence why you need time to devote to the game. I don't have an hour right now to play the game though so I thought I would simply throw out some thoughts I have had lately about the gaming community, the Dtoid community, and other random musings.



1) Let me start by saying I am discovering I really love the Dtoid community. I have only been an active member for about 3 weeks now, but I am hooked. I love reading all the posts by all the community members and it's great to finally have a place I can share my ideas with people who will listen and give feedback. I am definately addicted.

2) The mid-season finale of Battlestar Galactica was incredible. I haven't experienced that many different emotions while watching an hour of television in a long time. The show continues to be the best drama on TV.

3) I am almost positive I am addicted to XBOX360 achievements and I'm not sure what to do about this addiction.

4) Insomniac is opening up a new game studio here in my home town of Raleigh, NC. I would really like to apply for one of their "game tester" positions in the new offices. However this would require me takking a huge pay cut, and making only 1/3 of the money I make now. My feelings on the matter are very mixed.

5) I have owned Mario Galaxy now for 6 months and I still haven't even broken the seal on the package. I think I fail at life because of this!

6) I took a vacation day last Friday off work to sit at home and play MGS4. I woke up at 8AM, starting playing at 8:20AM, and didn't stop until 7:30PM that night. I might have a slight MGS4 addiction.

7) I can't believe I have to wait until next January to see the final half of the final season of BSG. That's just a crime against humanity.

8) I'm in a constant state of fear that I'm playing MGS4 to loud and that my neighbors are going to call the cops on me.

9) I honestly wonder if anyone reads my blog. I wonder if anyone is even reading this post. My girlfriend and my best friend Chris are probably my most devoted readers, and for that I thank them.

10) What I listened to while I wrote this post ...
