Unreal Tournament

The guys at work tend to get together for LAN parties on occasion, so I figured I’d pick up some first-person shooter games and try my hand at it so I could join in. This is definately one of those games that, after a certain point, you just have to play with other people, otherwise it starts to get real old real fast.

OK, that’s not really fair. I’m having far too much fun, actually. This is the reason I do not, as a rule, play a lot of video games. They can eat my life. But you know, when you can’t go out kickboxing for real, there’s nothing better than blowing up your enemies into tiny bits.

Also, there are butch badass women to choose from; in fact, quite a few female characters to choose from, and I always appreciate that. Also, there are fun gaming lines in here, and it makes for good research. That’s write, I’m doing *research* for game writing, yo.

Plus, blowing up my enemies into tiny bits.

Mmmm delicious.
