So the Spike Video Game Awards were last night. I was overall satisfied with the results. Gears 2 won Best Shooter, Fallout 3 won Best RPG, Rock Band 2 won Best Music Game... and thats all I really cared about. Though I was kind of excited that theirs a new Gears map pack released.

I tried to buy it this morning but my account won't charge my card for some reason and I've been trying to find a way to make the stupid USAA website show my freakin' balance but its fat. So I can't really use my card for **** now. Hell, my Gamertag charged my account a while back when my year expired and I couldn't see how much I had left... last time I checked before that I had only $30. So I have no idea whats in there now.

So just this week and I'm out of school for a while.. kind of excited but with two projects due on the week I come back, its probably not gonna be all that great. But if anyone can help me find a DECENT nonfiction or historical fiction book that would be mucho appreciated. I've been looking for a good war tale but no luck so far... other than a 1000 page book. I'll stick to the recommended 400 pages.

Anyways I rented Far Cry 2 this weekend. Its going OK right now. Does move kind of slow in the beginning. I don't know why they chose a sequel to Far Cry even though they are completely different. The feral instincts were cool in the first one I have no idea why they trashed the idea. Its also slightly difficult especially ifyour in a room with 5 loud people and have no idea what your doing. Well I guess lots of games would be harder that way. Well, got to get ready now class starts in about 30 minutes. i'll update with more FC2 later.
