I have never looked forward to an Easter as much as I have this one. Unfortunately, that fact alone has shown my addition-like dependence on video games as a means to fill my time. I found that when not playing multiplayer games with my brother or daughter, I was spending a large amount of time just staring at the computer (Google chat and Steam in particular) just waiting for one of the two of them to get on line. While I recognized how pathetic this behavior was, it didn't stop me from doing it (thus making it doubly as pathetic).
What made this particularly hard was that the expansion for Star Craft II (my most played game) which I have been waiting for these past two years came out a week and a half ago. While I've had the opportunity to play the multiplayer with my brother, it's the single player campaign that I have really wanted to see. Blizzard really knows how to craft a cinematic-like game. Just the opening scenes demonstrate this ability; I can only imagine how the rest of the game will be. Well, until tonight.
I currently plan on playing at least the first two missions after mass tonight. For those who are unaware, Lent (though it officially ends at the Holy Thursday mass) ends at the Easter vigil. At sunset, 8:30 here at St. Mary's, we have a gorgeous celebration of the Resurrection of Jesus the Christ. It is also a long mass; I don't expect to be home until around eleven. And immediately after changing, I plan on spending an hour or so playing a game that focuses on destroying the other team's forces.
... Like I said, pathetic.
