		<description><![CDATA[After slogging through months of other less interesting updates like the Steam port to Mac and Valve's horribly disappointing E3 "surprise" (Portal 2 on PlayStation 3...  yawn), the addition of Engineer achievements and unique class weapons is a breath of fresh air.  It's the patch that fans have been clamoring for since the inception of class updates for TF2, and it looks like Valve's lost no steam (pun intended!) in providing unique, fun, and rewarding additions to the game.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[After being barraged by a flurry of game announcements on Steam the other day, I decided I'd try out the demo for one of the more interesting looking titles, Torchlight.  I was pleasantly surprised with the game, however — what initially looked to be merely a poor man's Diablo 3 turned out to be a fun and addictive, if somewhat simple, dungeon crawler.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Though I would normally shun he (or she) who would buy an operating system on launch day, a week ago I bought, downloaded, and installed the newest version of Microsoft's OS, Windows 7.  It's nice to have a modern OS on my recently assembled machine, and though the transition from XP was a bit jarring in some respects, any unexpected problems have been minimal so far.  Overall, I'm glad I made the switch.

Here's a quick run-down of how the (mostly painless) upgrade process went for me, from my old rig turning into a massive paper weight to the re-birth of Windows on my new machine.]]></description>

Here's how the final build turned out...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I haven't been able to update the blog as much as I'd like over the last few weeks, but that doesn't mean I haven't been thinking about things to write about.  Instead of letting all of my random thoughts go to waste, I thought I'd present them here as a collection.  If you're just looking for a few moments of entertainment, you like reading the musings of the slightly insane, or you're looking for something to spark your pent-up rage, the following list is probably for you!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Man, I go away for a small vacation and I miss the next big TF2 announcement from Valve!  Not a big deal, really - I did have quite a good time on my trip, so a TF2 update kinda takes a back seat in terms of awesomeness...  but more on that later.  Valve's got a new update page set up for the next TF2 update, and it looks like it's going to be another sweet addition to the game.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[After months of reading praise for World of Goo, I finally decided to try it out a few weeks ago.  I downloaded the demo, installed it, fired it up... and came away largely impressed.  So I picked up the game on Steam, and spent the last week playing – and beating – it.  World of Goo is a genuinely fun game that's easy to pick up and challenging just to the right degree.  My caveats with it are small and few, especially in light of the fact that it is such an entertaining and unique game.]]></description>

Sure, there are things that I'm not entirely thrilled about, but I think that even at this early stage, the pros far outweigh the cons.  I'll definitely be interested to see what the coming months bring to Microsoft's new OS, and I hope that each change is for the better.]]></description>
