So many games and nowhere near enough time. The list of games I've currently got on my plate:

Mass Effect (yes, the first one, I haven't played it yet)
Myst (yes, the first one, I blame TheKeck for putting it on my radar and GOG for making it so cheap)

I played through it a few times and saw a few of...

I came down with a horrible cold this last weekend and decided I was going to make the best of it. I made it my goal to finally complete Bioshock and put another notch on... uh... my joystick?

I'd heard about the twist beforehand so I knew to expect something, likely with Atlas, but it didn't make it any...
