Uhh... My life had some technical difficulties?

I don't really have a good reason for not posting in so long. My best excuse is that I've been busy playing games, and isn't that what this blog is all about? ;) In any case, I'll tell you that I've been rather busy, even though it's summer. Last Monday I got a job at our local supermarket as a cashier, and I finally got my first paycheck yesterday. It was my day off, so of course my family had to drive down 1.5 hours to Best Buy so I could upgrade my graphics card. :) I got an awesome Radeon X1600 Pro to replace my Radeon X300, and from a test this morning I can tell you that the difference is night and day. I can finally run Oblivion at decent settings!

I've also been busy making a game of my own, but progress is slow. My website is having a bit of trouble last time I checked, so I haven't updated a new version yet. (The website itself is a wasteland - hasn't been updated since December.) However, I have here a link to a semi-recent version of my game. Working title? "Matrix World". Lame, I know, but for a first game it's not too bad so far.

I'll be back soon (this time I mean it, and "soon" doesn't mean 4 months from now).

The Elder Scrolls and The Sims: My "Favorites"

Admit it: Every gamer has his or her "Favorites". Despite how you say you like all the games in your collection, you probably have a few that you'd, for instance, grab first in the event of a fire. My two favorites happen to both be for the PC. I love Morrowind, the third in the Elder Scrolls Series, and The Sims 2. Because of this, I'm hoping to buy an expansion pack for the Sims tomorrow. On Thursday, I'll be getting Oblivion, the "sequel" to Morrowind.

My questions to you are: 1. What are your favorite games?
2. What expansion pack do you recommend I buy tomorrow? I really like all of them and can't choose.

P.S. Fellow gamers waiting for Oblivion, take heart: I will post a review of it as soon as I can.
