I broke down and bought Madden 2009 making this the first time I have bought more than 1 Madden game in a generation and I happy I did because 09 is way better than 08. Unfortunately I had to restart my franchise but its okI guess.

I also have bought Dawn of War 2 and Empire: Total War but haven't really got to playing them yet. I played DoW2 a little. Not sure how I feel about it yet. Not sure I like the new direction which unfortunately is what the next Company of Heroes expansion is going to be more like. I find, disappointing. I wanted them to continue going the way they said they were. More theaters of operation, more factions. Hopefully it still does.

I have talked about school in a loooong time. I'm still doing it. Not enjoying it much. I am in my last week of an Algebra 2 class which I hated. Looks like I will pass though. Not sure what is up next bu pretty coon, like 1 or tow more classes from now it will be nothing but programming classes from there on out. I know one thing, assuming I get this degree I doubt, seriously doubt I will be doing any more school trying to get my Masters degree. I could see me maybe getting another degree in something else,....maybe, assuming they would let me and could get the funding I do now.

By the way I have to say that Wii saturation in the US finally seems to have happened because I see them in stores everytime I go now, fully stocked.

I am a littl worried about what the next generation will be like. I will pretty upset if Sony and MS follow Nintendo and just go casual. Don;t get more wrong some casual games are blast but more suck than not and I like games that do more than simple things. Plus I would want graphics to go back to PS2 era. I still have been picking up PS2 games I missed which i believe I mentioned before. They are pretty ugly compared to the 360 and PS3. I mean I would liek to see systems become more upgradeable personally. Rather than buying an entirely new system every 5 years, which is dumb. Why no not make it so the graphics chip and memory can be easily changed. I don't know but it seems smarter considering that hardware is the biggest money sink to just sell what is needed rather than trying to sell the other stuff everytime along with it too.
