On the heels of turning a quarter of a century last November, I suddenly find myself engaging in activities I haven’t partaken in, at least not heavily, in years.  For one, I’m actually actively working on more than two games at once.  Currently, this consists of Fallout 3, F.E.A.R. 2, and Left 4 Dead, with a fresh install of Mass Effect waiting in the wings as well.  Not only that, with having Left 4 Dead now, I’ve been taking back up online gaming with quite an alarming frequency:  5 hours in two days.  Doesn’t sound like much, but that’s a lot more than I’ve played in a week (or even a month) in years, barring a coup,e of weeks of playing HL2 Deathmatch last spring after I got the Orange Box.

Obviously, I’m bored to be posting a trivial reminder that F.E.A.R. 2:  Project Origincomes out a week from today.  Of course, those who care already know this.  Frankly, I just needed to post something, as nothing has been posted for a few days. 

The reason?  Read more…

Bethesda’s official construction set for Fallout 3, named the Garden of Eden Construction Kit (or G.E.C.K. for short) has officially been released.   And you can bet your ass I already have it. 

The G.E.C.K. provides the community with tools that will allow players to expand the game any way they wish. Users can create, modify, and edit any data for use with Fallout 3, from building landscapes, towns, and locations to writing dialogue, creating characters, weapons, creatures, and more.

You can download it here (It is an 8.47 MBs Zip file):  http://fallout.bethsoft.com/eng/downloads/geck.html
The G.E.C.K. Wiki, where you can find help & tutorials can be found here:  http://geck.bethsoft.com/index.php/Main_Page

Now its time to watch the avalanche of mods while waiting for the next Fallout 3 patch.
