Worlds longest roller coaster.

No I'm not referring to steel dragon 2000. In case you still don't know what it is. It's the longest roller coaster in the world at 8 thousand and something feet. Anyways. Life's a roller coaster. You just don't throw up as often and it doesn't end until you die (not a final destination reference :) Well...)

Okay straight to the point. It's been a rough ride for me the past year and a half. She knows who I'm speaking of. So many ups and downs and just recently we reached a big drop. A drop so massive, it lasted nearly a week and a half. We were about in the cirrus clouds before we hit that signature roller coaster drop. Probably came close to greeting the minions underground almost before we made the initiative to change our ways and ride back up the long hill to healing. We suffered some injuries that are still in serious condition from that drop, but we proved that we're experienced surgeons and can tackle these injuries. As i speak (or type), we're still heading upwards.

Tomorrow we plan on heading to Dover downs to make travel money for me so i can head over to st.Louis. I don't really mind now i guess i can say as i have a laptop to screw around on and i won't forget my mouse this time. I'll let you guys know when I'm for sure set to go, but if everything goes according to plan and my proposed gambling blackjack table shark can at least win me $500 before the day is over (Monday), then i can be set to leave Wednesday at 10 am and won't arrive until 8 the next morning (greyhound bus).

Future news time. The gaming section has been pretty dull lately, but thats because i've been busy. Working on the Photography Section, bio section, life, wife. Being a person is tiring, but i did manage to beat Crysis 2 the Night before. Amazing game in my opinion. Sure it's scripts are buggy as hell. from AI vocalization scripting going on the fritz, repeating lines over and over for a entire level like a voice in your head (seriously...Not to mention they are yelling it) to a level not ending, forcing you to repeat the entire thing over.  AI in combat is superb until at times they find themselves getting stuck on objects at times. They work together to flush you out. Listen for sounds (Great job at making cloak not so OP :) )when alerted. When you take out a guy who happens to be talking on the radio, the radio will cut and the units in the area will be alerted automatically. If stuff gets too hectic from them, they fire flares and call in reinforcements. Interesting storyline that makes you feel like the guy in the suit (and finally appropriate for once) and makes you want to know more about whats going on.

Insanely amazing graphical feat crytek has pulled off. Making a game as stunning as this run so smoothly on max settings on a mid range rig like mine:  3.0ghz Athlon II x4
                   4GB RIpjaw G.SKill 1600
                   HIS 5770 1GB
                    MSI 770 Gamer
I haven't tried multiplayer yet because quite frankly, i wasn't took good at the multiplayer demo and I'm content enough with my dosage of CSS. Crysis 2 makes for a great distraction from life when you need one. Lock your door, dim the lights and fire up that behemoth sitting under your computer desk and explore in a desolate bombed out New York City.

Fun Game and plays perfectly fine for the graphics it holds. Bugs and glitches however keep it from getting any higher 7.0/10
