While the SC2 campaign wasn't anything spectacular and the plot was filled with cliches I thought it was a pretty decent introduction to the SC2 storyline. Definitely glad they decided to split the story into 3 parts because while some of the missions weren't crucial to the story I think the overall length of the campaign added to the epicness of it all, plus there's so many upgrades between missions you won't even get them all before the final act. And not to spoil to much but I was glad you were able to play as toss for a bit even though it was short lived. I thought the ending was pretty great but a little irritated that they give you a point of no return but it only ends up being 2-3 missions and then the game ends.

I'm interested to see in what happens in heart of the swarm.

I thoroughly enjoyed it too, but as you say holy shit cliches batman! It was a fucking JOKE some of the time, the crap that Raynor and Findlay spouted was like right from Generic American Action Movie. Also as I suspected, there were def filler missions or rather missions that felt like filler to some extent, though in all fairness, every single mission was fun and unique in some way. It just felt like they could've easily have been cut to turn the campaign in half the size if they really wanted, but I'm not complaining because I enjoyed it all. And I'm excited to see where the expansions go.

Also, the final Crystal mission
WHY SO SERIOUS HAHAHAHHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAA

OK. Well. After so many hours of Delta Force 1 and 2 single player I started losing it. It's repetitive and non-evolving nature makes it impossible for me to play any more. I'm sticking to multiplayer for Delta Force 2 when I'm feeling nostalgic.

Anyway I tried to play Land Warrior/Task Force Dagger and my computer reacted to it as if it were a deadly poison. First time, the HUD just did not show up in-game and I had no idea what to do (there being no objectives as far as I could tell) so I tried tweaking it. I restarted the game and it crashed and prompted me with the "saved sysdoc.txt" or something. It had apparently molested my graphics card as there were constantly changing multicolored 'dots' all over my screen. So I restarted my computer and the dots went away. Stupidly, I tweaked it some more and try running it again and it just gives me a blue screen of death. So I gave up on the game.

Black Hawk Down I encountered a few set backs but now it seems to run fine. Gameplay is decent if not wholly unremarkable. Single Player is almost as dull as the first 2 games (though not quite as boring). And every match I have online the map is horribly designed. (They are all player made maps) Starting to feel like I probably should have just bought Delta Force 2 for the multiplayer and be done with the rest of the series, oh well.

Getting bored of delta force in general I decided I'd pick another game to play at random. ShellShock 2. It got horrible reviews but honestly its not that bad. The cinematics are good, graphics are good, gameplay is fine. Admittedly though after reading the reviews the main complaints are that its way to short and the story later on gets pretty retarded. But whatever the little I've played was somewhat fun.

I started playing Final Fantasy 6 again because I just completed my last summer activity and now have about a month to do nothing before college starts.

I am both remembering why I liked it so much and finding things that I think are stupid about it. I still love it, but it isn't as flawless as I remember it being.

Yeah I couldn't get into Final Fantasy 6. Everyone told me it was one of the best Final fantasy's and still can't really see what all the hubub was about. Then again I haven't really enjoyed a single FF game that I've played so its probably just not my kind of game. :P BTW I've at least tried 1-7 And a friend pushed me into trying 10 once. Never even touched, barely looked at 8 and 9. And I have zero interest in MMO's so 11 is out and 12 and 13 don't interest me much either.

WAIT... NVM
Tactics. I liked Final Fantasy Tactics. Still have not beaten it yet though.

My PS3 controller came in the mail but I haven't got the console yet. So I started up Metal Gear Solid and decided to map movement to the sixaxis. It was quite horrifying.

Was playing Resident Evl 5 and beat it. Not as good as I thought it was gonna be. The inclusion of a multiplayer campaign is pretty cool though.

World At War. Beat it. Thought it was pretty good. Played a bit of Nazi Zombies. Pretty fun. Going to play some multiplayer when I find all the god damned patches.

As for a single player experience, probably going to play Episodes from liberty city next.

My friend told me you can save keifer sutherland's character. Roscoe? I can't remember. I completed it though apparently if you are fast enough you can stop him getting murked.

That's a spoiler I know but really it's COD they always kill off the captain or 2nd in command in every game.

WaW is okay. It's a COD game so the expectation is really high and there was no way treyarch were going to live up to modern warfare's hype but as a shooter it was good. Loved the assault on the reichstag and the Stalingrad mission too.
