And in gaming news...
Hubbyfink finished "Gears of War 2" last night. It's the first video game he's played to completion. He said he was a little disappointed and wanted to keep on playing when I asked how he felt about that achievement. Yeah, I know what he means; I've played through "Twilight Princess" and "Resident Evil 4" for the same reason (well, that and they're awesome games). He still has "Halo 3" to get into.
I'm still roaming the post-apocalyptic Virginia countryside in "Fallout 3". Found Arlington Cemetery, ransacked Arlington House and the metro stations yesterday. Also found the satellite array up in the northwest and then hit the NW edge of the game world and had to turn back. Ran into three Regulators who called me a villain (oops, I guess my karma's too low) and then shot me down like a dog on the highway. I'm still looking for Reston Town Center. I haven't braved the wilds of Maryland yet, beyond Seneca metro (I crossed a body of water so I'm assuming that was Maryland), nor DC as I got shot at by some Raiders on the DC side when I got too close to the Virginia waterfront.
One of these days I'll unwrap "Left 4 Dead" and get sucked into zombiepocalypse, but I'm pretty happy getting radiation poisoning and hacking giant scorpions and mole rats into tiny bits at the mo'.
Hubbyfink looked up twelve-step programs for FO3 addiction. I told him that chopping off my hands and destroying the game disc are not options.

I can't remember. Did you play this on the 360 or PC? Apparently, there's a way for PC players to see their karma via the command line. I don't know of a similar exploit for the 360.

Since it runs the Oblivion engine (Oblivion is awesome too, btw) you can pretty much cheat your ass off if you choose to on the pc (like say, making Dogmeat "essential", so he's an unkillable canine companion who latches onto Super Mutants and keeps them at a distance so you can pop their pulpy heads off one by one...)
Or, if you're evil go buy the Clover, the whore bodyguard from Eulogy Jones in Paradise Falls, set her to "Essential", modpca her small guns, perception, and health and she's Summer Glau from Sarah Connor Chronicles.
Of course, that would ruin the game. Unless you're on your sixth pass through it and want to kill every living thing in the world (I've got her, dogmeat, and Red (didn't finish her quest so she sticks with me) armed with the alien blaster, firelance, and me with a nice railroad gun going from place to place killing everything in sight. The last to get shot will be the damned DJ ThreeDog.
Radio Silence! (I even killed Malcolm Macdowell's "President"...)
