"I swear to God, if I even feel somebody behind me, there is no measure to how fast and how hard I will bring this fight to your doorstep. I'm on my own side now."

Well its Thanksgiving, and I'm in Florida. See, flying home is expensive, and about a week or two after Thanksgiving break is Winter break, so flying home is pretty dumb. So I sit around here on an empty campus for 5 or 6 days and relax. Sure, it get a little lonely, but being able to relax is well worth it after the last couple weeks. As for T-day dinner I just walk over to the Tallman Commons buffet. They serve up a nice all you can eat Thanksgiving meal. I don't eat a whole lot of it though, not real big on the traditional food. As for food for the rest of the week, since the buffet is the only place open all week, I went grocery shopping at Walmart. Alas the choices were limited since I only have a microwave to cook.

The new Battlefield 2 Expansion pack came out, along with it came a new patch for the normal version. As I found out for myself, this new patch, once installed, took up about 3 gigs of harddrive space. This required me to go through my hard drive once again and clean it out. The patch isn't too impressive. The new unlockable weapons are nice...for the new kids. Those of us that have been around a while can't earn unlocks every day, its just too many points between the higher ranks. The new ranking adjustment some predicted didn't occur either. So pretty much the patch added weapons, and left all the old bugs.

About a week or so ago I bought an "el cheapo" game called Strike Fighters: Project One. It didn't used to be el cheapo, but a screwed up release by its publisher caused many folks to dislike it initially, thus earning it a solid place in the bargain bin. True fans though saw it for what it was and bought the fixed version. So what is it? Basically a realistic and fun combat flight simulator that centers on the cold war era. However, it was released with the intent that it would be heavily modified by the fan community into whatever they desired. Add to that the creator's undying support for the game, no less then 5 updates have been released, each adding more content and another is in the works. This game came upon me at a time when I was craving a combat flight sim that I could customize. Anyway, I seriously give this thing a 5 out of 5. I'm not even kidding.
