Now Playing: Far Cry 2

Eyes focused, gun in hand, I carefully, strategically approach... the bus stop.

No one there. I'm in luck! Had any other humans been present at the location of the bus, I would have been forced to slaughter them.

The bus itself is driven by no one. The only purpose of a car in Africa is to run people over. If a person in a car happens to see you, they will immediately abandon all other avenues of action in order to turn the car and run you over. That is the law of Africa.

On Being a Late Adopter

I've decided to edit the title of this blog to give it slightly better focus. I think it suits the name of my parent web site fairly well. I notice that I tend to discuss games that have been "out" for a while rather than the latest, greatest thing. This is for a couple reasons - I tend to take more time with a game than an early adopter, and I tend to get new games later than most people do, after they've been out for a year or so and the price has dropped. Basically, the most logical reasons for it to take a long time for me to review a game, that I figure a lot of people will actually run in to in the real world.

One game I plan to jump on early, however, is Scribblenauts - I can't think of another time when I've counted the days to a release like I've been watching this one.

What's it like being a late adopter? Well, you get spoiled for everything. You know what to expect. I do keep up with a lot of other gaming blogs, so I'm used to getting some important thing revealed to me and having less things be a surprise because I didn't play them the week they came out. So if I do spoiler games that I've been playing, rest assured I'll tend to spoiler games that have been out for about a year or more.
