Games games and more games

Last Tuesday I went to a bar night with Rock Band 2 - my good friend Alex who now works at Harmonix set up the event - free drinks, to boot. As much as I love competing in Rock Band, it's just as fun to let loose and belt out the songs like crazy with a bunch of friends. He mentioned that this might become more of a regular occurrence, which is fantastic to hear -even without the free drinks, having big Rock Band get togethers are some of the most fun I've had in recent times.
Rhythm games aside, I have played a sickening amount of Left 4 Dead recently - yesterday I probably topped out at around 11 hours of time spent, but I've been playing every day at work during lunch and of course more time spent at home. I've now finished 3 out of the 4 campaigns on expert, and I have more than half of the achievements - and I haven't really attempted a lot of them yet.
Thanksgiving was, as it usually is for me, fantastic. I can't imagine a better way to spend a day than eating a bunch of yummy food and then passing out while watching things on the TV. Sure, it's not something I want to do every day, but once a year seems appropriate to be a lazy glutton.
I watched a lot of the House marathon and then discovered Law & Order on Netflix, which I now stream to my Xbox all the time too. I have to say I'm quite in love with the Netflix streaming - it's definitely the best part of the NXE, by far.
I hope to spend time updating this more than once a week, but if I manage once a week I'll be pretty pleased with myself. Since it's getting close to that time of the year maybe I'll try making a resolution... or something...

I throughly enjoy reading your blogs, and have seen you on l4d every time i log onto xfire - glad to see you're enjoying the game haha.
The NXE streaming thing seems really awesome, i just don't watch enough to make it worthwhile yet, but I'm very tempted when it comes to college. Maybe if i get get my roommates to pay for it muhaha.Posted 12-02-2008 at 12:27 PM by Rip
