Sup gamers,

Hope you are all doing well. I finished all my tasks at work and got me some spare time. So i thought i'd write this blog, so i can tell you a bit about what happened this weekend (if you are interested to know).

Not that there is a lot going on actually. A hospital visit here and a birthday there. Nothing special. The bigger news is that my brother is moving in with me for a while. He used to live with his best mate, but that went sour unfortunately. So he will be living at my place for a bit untill he finds his own place. Although family is always welcome, it does mean that we will be fighting over the "gamepad" from time to time!!!!

Now this is a gamepad me and my brother would fight about!! (*)

I have also purchased StarCraft II this weekend. Now i know that i told you in my last blog that i am a total noob at RTS games, which i am. I have to tell you though that this game is a blast! I really like the multiplayer modes that have an extra twist to them.

An example would be last Sunday where i spent some hours playing an online game mode that required you to fend off a Zerg horde for a limited amount of time, which increasing their numbers as time progressed, ultimately leading to an almost unstoppable mass of aliens, all aching to beat your defenses to a pulp and take the alien artifact that you are supposed to protect. We only managed to win just one of these matches after me and another player build row upon row of defenses and started praying they would hold. Even though the Zerg ploughed through our lines like a hot knife through butter, our very last defense line held out the mass of menacing aliens just long enough to win the match. We quite literally did not have a second left to spare as the alien horde broke through our defense in that last second!!

In any case, it is a fun game to play and even though i willprobably be sent to my doom against almost all players i get matched up against, i will certainly keep playing this game for a while longer! Should you want to play against me or with me at any point, my name on Battlenet is (offcourse) Neogenic. Now let's hope my brother does not like RTS! :P
