No Time for Games
For quite some time I have been thinking about how I don’t play games anymore. I often drift back to my 10 day trial period of World of Warcraft®. I really do want to play it. I know I would enjoy it. Unfortunately for my inner gamer, I am a family man now. I have a wife and two children and they need me to be there for them. I could totally lose myself for an entire weekend playing WoW®. I’m wondering how Diablo® III might affect me.
I can’t afford to spend too much time away from my work and my family. Within the past few years the only games I have allowed myself to play are short and quick flash games. Recently my friend Kevin purchased a Chicago Gaming Company arcarde system that features many Atari titles as well as many Taito titles. I have been playing many of the classic Atari® games on it. Many of which for the first time. I find I enjoy the ability to start and stop easily and without losing anything. My favorite is Skydiver. I’ve gotten a high score of 4900! ;P Yeah, I know it is somewhat weak.

Diablo® III is coming!
It has been a long time since Blizzard has released a title in their Diablo® line of computer video games. I have watched both the cinematic and gameplay trailers and I admit that I am very excited. I’m almost excited enough to pull out my old Diablo® II discs and install them this very weekend. Alas, I have work to do, and cannot oblige my inner gamer’s desires.

A Little Artificial Reality Never Did Any Harm
I spent this evening poring over some old DVD and CD backup discs I had made over the years. Some of the things I found I wish I would have left un-found. Others I was surprised to see. Though not complete, it is nearly so, and is therefore fit for remembrance. I give you the original Artificial Reality (the band) Official website of the past!
Bioshock Demo Released for PC
Bioshock, a game that has been long awaited for it’s immersive game play and highly sophisticated AI system has been released as a demo for the PC. It is available on a lot of the usual places that make you wait in queues. I will not name URLs, but needless to say, “Surely, there is a torrent of this file.” Yes, my friends, there is indeed a torrent for this file. Behold Bioshock PC Demo. [thepiratebay.org]
I may need to point out that this is a completely legal torrent as it is a demo version and is being released for purposes of demonstration of a product. As such it is limited in its game play and is not the ‘full release.’
Enjoy.
