So this week has been pretty good. I've been taking it easy, other than work. I finally decided to buy an Xbox 360, but figured out a responsible budget for myself for until I'm working again. I restrained myself well, and only got one game. I was playing a lot of Call of Duty 2, and I finally completed the single player campaign. I liked that you fight on 3 different fronts, starting with the Russian, moving to the British in Africa, and ending with the Americans in France. Now I'm moving on to play it on a harder difficulty, which should still be fun.
I rented the Need for Speed game, and spent a lot of time playing it. I had played it on the PS2, but the Xbox 360 version was definately worth the prettyness. The customization of cars is so thoruhough, its crazy! My only complaints are that after playing Burnout for so long, it doesn't seem like you're going that fast in NFS, and the whole boost system isn't nearly as satisfying. The other part is the lack of fully destructable cars, another small setback. Other than that, police chases are very cool, and the game looks verrry nice!
I took a pretty big computer step this week, and switched to Linux. It was kind of random and out of the blue, but I had been playing around with the Live CD, which lets you see if you like the OS before installing it, and I really did like it, so I took the leap and switched to Ubuntu. Performance and speed are much, much better than Windows was for me, so I don't think I'll need to upgrade my RAM anymore! Although it isn't quite as user-friendly as Windows, I have had quite a good experience with it so far, I'll keep you posted about new developments.
Peace up, A town down
