So the new year is here, and with it comes numerous digital gems of entertainment that ranges from TV, movies, and my dearest favorite, good ol' vidders! With my semi-generic resolution cemented for the year(s) ahead, I promised myself that I would FINALLY stop making excuses and cut out all the people/issues that mostly consist of BS in my life... translation -- the perfect "reason" to return to my gamer roots.
As fantastic as these 20+ days into the new year have been, there is an all too familair dilema sneaking through the shadows leading up to this evening...
Could it be the lack of recent sleep? Not possible, that's always been my common curse; and these 5Hour energy shots are freaking amazing!
Maybe it's my new found addiction for NetFlix, which keeps me clicking on endless streams of what not mumbling "just one more..." until long hours of the night. That couldn't be it either, cause the sleep timer on my TV is my best friend, and my true friends know when to cut me off when I get carried away.
No, no. This current dilema has to do with Dead Space 2 releasing the same day I'm required at work the next morning at 6am -- insert WTF here -- Ridiculous, I know... but the truth is, I'm having a hard time imagining myself going home with a brand-spanking new, highly anticapated, well reviewed horror game, I repeat, HORROR GAME (which only functions after 7pm, depending on dinner) being a well mannered individual who clocks into bed without heavy servings of NyQuil just isn't me! :(
No doubt, I'm gonna play the game tonight. I have/want to at least "see" the start menu... my first brand new game of 2011, that's the least I can do for my neglected Xbox, which has shamefully been used more for music and movies rather than actual gaming. Of all this self-induced madness, I also got a copy of Enslaved last week (adventure before horror mixes well) which I'm only half way through as of this recent purchase... translation -- there is gonna be a LOT of sleepness nights ahead. Then there is my double-digit backlog... UGH!
