"Steam - Updating - 45% complete"
I have a lot of games on my to-play list and now is as good a time as any to play some of those. Checking the Steam website I see that Fallout: New Vegas is on -40% sale which means I can get it for £5.99 until the 5th of January. That's a good place to start, right? I should get myself an Xbox 360 controller as well, not that there's anything wrong with a keyboard and mouse aside for the fact that I suck incredible with them. And I thought I would save myself the headache of trying to get to grips the keyboard+mouse scheme.
"Installation complete"
Oh… my… deity. There's so many games here! Oh, look! There's Fable: The Lost Chapters on sale! The Binding of Isaac for less than a pound! Ooooh, Age of Empires III: Complete Collection! And the Far Cry franchise for -34~75%!
As I collapse on the floor in a drooling spastic pile of what used to be a man, somewhere deep — deep, deep — inside me, the sane me realises that I will never be able to play all of these games. But I should be able to start getting that list of mine smaller.
Fallout: New Vegas, £5.99, yes please, don't mind if I do. [add to cart] Deus Ex: Human Revolution, £3.74 [add to cart] Proceed to checkout.

Now… we wait. And whilst we do I thought I would explain the reason for the title this time. From now on — having completed my challenge of awesomeness sans slight cheating — I am going to try to maintain a writing schedule of 1-2 posts per week. Obviously, since I'm me you can assume that anything I say should be taken with a grain — or two — of salt. But you get the general idea. It's just too much work to write every day, unless I got… you know… actually paid for it, then it would be a different story of course. Hopefully the quality of posts should be more consistent and not include as many "Here's a video" -type posts but again… not making any promises though.
