I'd be Garret from the thief series.. I love the story and the atmosphere his story takes place in.

I'm in the middle of season 8 and I can't believe how the show takes a f'king plunge after Mulder is taken by aliens. Of course he is a very, very important character in the whole series but witnessing how mere lack of one single character can turn a great show into the pit of boredom makes me feel almost dizzy. Wow. Episodes of s8 are almost painful to watch, damn, not to mention what a fucking asshole Kersh is.
I'm not saying Robert Patrick is doing a bad job. More like, he's great in that role. But there is something. You know what I mean. I wonder if it was David's own decision to drop out of the series. Earlier seasons were INTENSE and later seasons up to the 7th was kinda lacklauster admiteddly but s8 is just too much.
Will go through s8 and 9 anyway. Gotta see wtf happens in the end. :(

It makes you wonder, considering the nature of his and his son's deaths, if he never actually did defeat his demons, and perhaps, if so, neither did Brandon.
If you believe in that sort of thing.
It would have been fantastic to see what Bruce Lee would have done had he not died so young.

Right now I'm working on GTA: SA.
Then I got on tap:
Dark Messiah of Might & Magic
Tomb Raider Anniversery
Hitman Blood Money
Condemmed
Quake 4
STALKER
City Like.
There are two more games, still sealed that I can't think of what they are.
Also I'm toying with reactivating my City of Heroes account and running up a character or two to level 20.
Coming up there are new expansions for Sims 2 and Civ IV, Bioshock and THEN maybe Half Life 2 Episode 2 with TF2. Not to mention GTA 4 and all the other fall rush games.
Anyone else feeling the crunch?

I hate the fact that the technology is here, but automakers refuse to take the big leap and manufacture something like this. Rather they choose to just wait.

A few weeks ago I played Guitar Hero II at friends house, and have been trying to convince myself not to buy it ever since. Well, today on the way home for work, I just did. I'm still not sure what motivated me to do it today, but it happened. Picked it up for the 360 ($90 for a console game!!) and started playing around 6pm est.
It's now 1:45 am and I'm just now stopping (minus a few minor breaks of course). I 5 Starred all but like 2 songs on medium (excluding bonus tracks) before I finally decided to call it a night. That shit is worse than WoW I swear. Also the 'hallucination' you get after playing too long is great. I would just look at any random thing in the room and it would appear to be moving upward.
God help me.
