Minor changes to the list since last time.

I'm giving up on Oblivion. I wisely finished up the main quest before my Windows 7 upgrade, for fear of problems with the slightly "older" game on the new platform. Turns out those fears had merit, I'm experiencing random mouse-freeze/game-hang issues after no more than a few minutes of play time. Probably not Oblivion's fault per se, but I don't really feel like investigating too deeply...I finished the main quest, logged over...

I was a little quick on the draw blaming Premire Elements there. After digging into the Event Log and finding the name of a DLL that was causing problems, then Googling that DLL, I found out that it was nVidia's Stereoscopic 3D driver that was causing the problem! I'm not sure I had this on Vista, I hadn't updated my drivers in a while; but my Win7 drivers are the latest and greatest, and they came with this as a silent install. Uninstalled that program, and voila! PE7 works fine again! Hurray!...

Just found the first kink in my shiny Windows 7 x64 install...Premeire Elements 7 crashes on me as soon as I switch over to the Transitions tab. Argh. I was really hoping to upload a quick video of my 2-year old's first trick-or-treat experience for the grandparents, instead I spend an hour screwing with my PC to no avail. *sigh*

Downloading the trial of the new PE8 now, hopefully that works as an upgrade option...I really, really have grown to like Premiere Elements. Also downloading...

I broke down and bought Halo 3:ODST last night. I had no choice...Toys R Us was giving a $20 gift card with purchase, and I can't turn down a free $20 for a game I know I want to buy eventually anyway.

I played for maybe half-an-hour last night. It's basically the same Halo experience, just some different mechanics that require a slightly less aggressive posture. Having fun, expect that to continue. Haven't tried the new Firefight mode yet though.


Updated list:...

Holy crap, it's been over three months since I updated my gaming list?!? I could have sworn it wasn't that long ago...time flew over the summer I suppose, I must not have done as much gaming as I thought.

I'm still playing Oblivion, but I'm going to take everything else off the list. I finished both Guitar Hero:World Tour and Metallica's guitar mode on Expert, and I'm not sure when or if I'll go back and play any of the other modes. Mass Effect continus to languish in "I'm Not...
