Busy, Busy, Busy.  Such is life I suppose but hey, at least I’m having a good time right?  Lot’s of factors have been dominating my time and I deal with this ironic balance that my free time is either spent playing games or working on Citizens Coup Network but my writing is about my game playing.  It’s a real catch 22, either I play and fill my brain with site content I can’t deploy or I write about games I can’t play.  Enough of that though, let me toss out a handful of games I have been playing.

To be completely upfront and honest I was never much of a Blizzard fan beyond Warcraft 2 and the Diablo serious of “inventory manager” hack and slash games but for the sake of trying new things I downloaded and gave League of Legends a shot.  I was pleasantly surprised at how much fun it is and despite sucking pretty bad at the game early on I find it really growing on me.  It’s not really an RTS game, it’s barely an RPG game, but it does a lot to capture this arcade like almost old school in depth game atmosphere that’s very well polished.  You can’t beat the free price tag either.

There's a pretty old practice for general contractors and similar tradesmen of placing their business card into whatever they're building.  I'd imagine if some old house fell down somewhere you'd find a mess of cards in the rubble like little breadcrumbs telling the story of the house.  Video games aren't all that much different.  Game designers like to leave their marks in their own little way and I'm particularly fond of finding those little treasures.

I know this is a tad hypocritical of me because I've been decrying Grand Theft Auto San Andreas as the software equivalent of a dead horse but it's hard to ignore the market demand, people want to see the glory days of CCNGTA return and that's what we intend to give them.  At one point CCNGTA was a top 3 game server boasting some of the highest numbers any MMO style SA:MP had seen in its heyday.  Now, we're bringing that back utilizing the old Goodfellas 2.0 script with a few minor security modifications and adjustments to the script to maximize compatibility with the latest version of SA:MP.  Ideally this will be a relatively short run to hold everyone off until APB comes out but depending on how well it all goes will directly determine our lifespan.

Info on the new additions to Goodfellas 2.0 script, modified gang warfare, and re-launch date after the jump.
