I have sooooo not been online as much as I should be lately. Between work, finishing Fallout 3, and weird sleepless nights, I've been too tired to be fun to talk to.
And, yeah, finished FO3, if you can count stumbling onto the ending as finishing. This game has a massive case of Cosmic Deadline, probably the biggest I've ever met in a game outside Brutal Legend, which at least had a good excuse***. Publishers don't want to give quirky potential-cult hits time extensions. Bethesda doing one of the most loved franchises in gaming after hitting gold with the last two Elder Scrolls games does not have that excuse, especially considering how packed FO3 is with plots, subplots, and rewards for exploration. FO3 is HUGE, the largest game I've ever played. I'd gladly sacrifice some of that for a better rising action and climax to the story.
( More thoughts on FO3, spoilers blacked out )
Mum and I managed to snag BioShock 2 for $40, so we're going to be blasting through that game as fast as possible so we can sell it back, get Battlefield: Bad Company 2, then sell that to get FO3: Game of the Year Edition so I don't have to buy all the FO3 DLC individually.
I have so many games to play, it's ridiculous. For the first time in my life, I have a surplus of games. Usually I play something, sell it back, and buy something new with the money. This is... odd and kinda cool. :D

*** TV Tropes claims BL didn't have this excuse, but I'm almost certain I read that the reason for the last two battles happening in such quick succession was because they ran out of time towards the end and, added with Activision being complete and utter douchebags, it caused trouble. So. [citation needed].
