Monday MUpdate: Entry and snide, sly enough to argue for a complete statement of the weekend reading anything really

I believe that the beginning of a _____ post starts with a _____ title, and there is no ______ title than an Engrish title. So from now, all Monday MUpdates will have Engrished titles in order for me to convey coy commentary to my own writing.

Aside from that, I do not have much to report in the world of gaming belonging to the video format. As this is the first weekend in a while in which I had no plans, I took it upon myself to put my nose inside of a book and leave it there for a prolonged period of time, reading a colossal 950something pages. Needless to say, my brain feels a tiny bit fried.

I did, at one point, pick up my DS and Chrono Trigger for a short time, and I found that the longer the gap in between gameplay, the more I forget what I'm supposed to do in the game. It is through this that I feel I'm not really getting my money's worth for the purchase, and that is my own fault. While I do absolutely ____ the game, I need to make more time for it. Then I could perhaps beat it more quickly and move on to newer endeavors, like The World Ends With You and Final Fantasy IV.

I also played Fallout 3: The Pitt during the week. I must say, despite how troublesome it is at time, I really found the expansion to be ____. I've been spending most of my time trying to find 100 Steel Ingots for the achievement, and while it's somewhat ______, I find that I have a ____ time regardless. This is something I also need to devote more time to, because I do want to try out Broken Steel, and of course I want to go back to re-playing certain old games.

Other than that, the only thing I want to comment on is the lack of Team Fortress 2 updates to the XBOX 360. While I recently posted an article about it, the more I read about updates (a Spy update was just announced), the more _______ I get about it. I think that it is _____ for Valve to promise one thing and not deliver, even if I have to pay for it. Not all of us have access to a PC (Kara is the only writer for this blog with one) so Nate and I get left in the dust, and that is just ____. So Valve, if you ever come across this, consider it an open letter: It would make me very _____ if you would share the wealth sometime soon, because I ____ to play the game too.

That's it for today.

"Let's have a go at it."

It turns out that in between going through the Pitt searching for ingots, I do have some time to read and not only post news. Todays news is pretty exciting for me, as it is something I haven't been following at all and was surprised with this morning.

Valve has been consistently updating all the character classes in Team Fortress 2 to make sure the game doesn't become stale, and the Sniper update is now upon us. With the update, you get a brand new bow and arrow set, the Huntsman. You shoot the arrow at your enemy, the arrow sticks into their body, and if they have low enough health, they will be shot and stuck against a wall, forever being a reminder to your foes what a deadly marksman you are. I love playing the sniper personally, and this is just downright exciting for me. I mean, apparently Valve has been updating the game with new stuff for characters for months (including new achievements that apparently aren't making their way to the 360?), and I have just not been paying attention for whatever reason, so this is a great way to make me excited to go home from work.

When the Orange Box I came out, I will not beat around the bush when I tell you I bought the disc JUST for Team Fortress 2. I'd been waiting for it for years, and even though it is different than the game initially promissed to be (back in.. what... the 90's?), it was still an amazingly fun experience. Valve kind of has the corner on the market when it comes to awesome multiplayer games that are on the XBOX 360, matched probably only by the popularity of Halo multiplayer. But, unlike Halo, I can spend hours wrapped up in Valve multiplayer games. Left 4 Dead is a fine example of this, and with all the new updates for Team Fortress 2 that I have missed (due to me not paying attention), I will definitely be spending more time on that. So if you have a copy of the Orange Box, look for me online either playing that or Fallout.

Edit: Apparently, in all my excitement, I looked over the glaring fact that these updates are for the PC and not the 360. Rats. There is a forthcoming patch with all the updates included, but all things considered, it should be here by now. So rats again. I am highly looking forward to this update, though. I really want to try out all the new sniper stuff. I just kind of wish I had a PC right now, because it's a free update for them and Microsoft won't let Valve give us a similar free update (although Left 4 Dead had a huge overhaul update for free recently... harumph).
