 I've been having some annoying problems with my computer lately. Fortunately I figured out the problem was due to bad memory. A few days later, I'm up to 1.5 GB of memory and all is good.
I also picked up Fable: The Lost Chapters and Medal of Honor: Pacific Assault. I loaded up Fable last night and Sam played for a bit. It's interesting how you start as a boy and are forced to make moral decisions as you go through the world. Sam's being completely good, though we'll see how long that lasts.
I'm not sure if it's revolutionary, but it's entertaining so far. I like being able to crank up the resolution and anti-aliasing with my new video card, watching it on my new big LCD. It puts consoles to shame.

Sam and I had a little time to play on the computer together last night. More often than not, we've been gravitating towards Garry's Mod on Half-Life 2. Basically it lends itself towards very open-ended gameplay. You can spawn in enemies, objects, and you have a variety of tools for manipulating them. We dropped ourselves into an empty map and proceeded to play.
Initially I spawned a bunch of zombies for Sam to dispatch, just to warm up. He was getting a little frantic towards the end as I had made a huge mob. Fortunately I also dropped in a ton of explosive barrels for him to cause havok with.
After that, we decided to go after each other in interesting ways. Sam's preferred method was to drop down a bunch of barrels and then say "come over here, dad". Other time's he'd simply spawn in a massive shipping crate and drop it on my head.
I was going for the more elegant methods. I spawned in a car and attached thrusters that I could use to control its movement. It was a little tricky to use, basically a mini-rocket that bounced about on the ground. A later version was airborne with dozens of balloons attached to it, though it was basically impossible to get through doorways.
Good times.
