I got my 360 back a few weeks ago.

Even though I have Call of Duty: World and War and Gears of War 2, I'm stuck in Halo 3 multiplayer. I can't seem to get out of it. I've been have some gg's with some regulars on my XBL buddy list.

No, I haven't yet completed the campaign on CoD:WaW or GoW2. I suspect that I'll make my way though CoD:WaW's campaign in mid-January. GoW2 will come after that. I've got too many games to play and too many of my friends are in the same position.

LEFT 4 DEAD is my pick of Game of the Year. I've been playing it on the PC and I have to say that it is one of the most impressive games that I've played. The gameplay is very creative and the developers did a great job of immersing the user into the game. I almost feel as if I'm playing a movie.

I am looking forward to no game in 2009. I buy few games. The only games on my radar are Halo Wars (360) and Resident Evil 5. However, the expansion pack to Halo 3 called Halo OSDT will get a lot of my attention; especially if the gameplay is like that of Halo 3's multiplayer. Other than that, I'll have to wait until another L4D-type game pops up on my radar.

My gaming rig recently crashed. I thought this was due to either low hard drive space or Google Chrome. I rebuilt my system and still had an issue. It has to do with my RAM. My Buffalo Firestix is high performance RAM. It requires more voltage than the typical stick of RAM. Boosting my RAM to 2.1V did the trick...for about a week. Today after a reboot, my motherboard would not go to post. I upped the RAM's voltage to 2.3V and that did the trick. Unsure if doing that will harm my RAM or not. Oh well. If it does, it's been a good run on 4GB. I'm sure I'll have some more.

TF2 is still getting some play. I hope to play it regularly in 2009 with a regular group of gamers.

We're having a NYE party tomorrow night. Rock Band 1 and 2 will be making an appearance along with Scene It! 2.

If I begin traveling more frequently, I'm going to purchase a gaming-grade laptop computer.

So long 2008.
