I had a couple sick days on friday and monday and got over a cold that was dogging me friday morning. I loaded up on multivitamins and orange juice most of my four day weekend.

I finally finished off doom 3 and it wasn't as scary as people made it out to be. it was definetly a dark and evil atmosphere but at the end of the day you could predict things in the game well enuff to avoid them and hardly take any damage. I used the shotgun for most of the whole game and would occasionally switch to the plasma gun to take down the super infantry guys. the last boss sucked but the levels were amazing, I think I need to start playing these games on nightmare just to hold my interest longer. I'll still play through the expansion but I'll probably give it a little time to let all the evil get out of me. Once you play through the game you realize how bad of a remake the movie was. There was a lot of gameplay in this one and I'm glad I played it without the flashlight mod.

Infected has been better than I expected. It's got a cool medal system in levels where you need to finish them with a certain time or rescuing X number of civilians or even combos too. It makes the game great as a 5 minute pickup game. It does loose its appeal when played repeatedly though.

Civilization 4 is an amazing progression in the CIV serives. It makes me realize how much I suck at civ, I can never play at a higher level than cheiftan and I end up getting frustrated at the higher levels and reloading old autosaves when I loose a battle or something. I think I need to trade tech more and build up alliances and better defend my cities. I'll read through a guide and get back at it.

well back to work.
