The Joy of Technology

So my friend left me his Xbox 360 and a bunch of games while he's overseas - probably a bad idea to be playing in the face of all my university assignments and work I need to do, but it's just too irresistible! I have it hooked up to my surround sound system and tiny little CRT TV - pity, because it doesn't do the gorgeous HD graphics any justice. At least the sound is up to scratch as I've discovered. Gaming in proper surround sound brings things to a whole new level! Now the last time I played any games seriously was probably around the time of Quake 2 with the exception of messing around with some race sims whenever I visit my brother, and things have moved on a bit.

I have been playing Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter the last couple of days - how awesome! It's in a way what I expected Gears of War to be like, quite a bit of strategy and interesting gameplay as opposed to madly shooting at things. Very cool, and the 2nd installment is waiting for when I finish this one...
