Finally, a free moment - moving across the USA is hard work it seems.  That’s right no more New York for me, I’m now in city of Portland in the state of Oregon.  It’s been a crazy time with the website going down just moments before I got on the plane.  I wasn’t in a position to get it fixed quickly so, down it stayed.  Of course, once that was fixed we released there were problems with all of the e-mail accounts…  Anyway, it’s all fixed up and hopefully that won’t happen again.

So, what does all this have to do with gaming?  Well, I may have been incredibly busy but I have managed to shoe horn in a bit of time playing.  I spent almost the entire plane ride playing The World Ends With You.  I’m currently on day 5 (out of 7).  Of course I haven’t played since I landed at PDX - I’m hoping to get back into it once I move into my place this weekend.  The game is strangely good.  One of the better RPGs I’ve played recently.  I’m (surprise) pressed for time so I won’t go into the entire story - check out Siliconera for that.

Aside from the DS, I’ve been lucky enough to clock some time in Steam playing a couple of games.  I even got to sit down and play Team Fortress 2 in the same room with a couple of people I know out here.  Working on the new achievements was tons of fun and Gold Rush is pretty fun.  Just remember kids drinking and gaming isn’t always a good idea.  My other Steam favorite has been Trackmania.  If you haven’t checked it out and like arcade style racers then get going…  Now, if only I can hold on until my main computer gets here - I’m dieing to play some Company of Heroes.
