Just got and finished Planescape: Torment, all within a few days. It was a great game. The story itself was intriguing - your main character starts out dead, and it improves from there.
I'm still plugging away at Ultima IX. It's still pretty good, though it didn't draw me as much as Planescape: Torment. Still, it's the last of the series that started when I was in my early teens. I feel obligated to finish it up.

I finished up Darkstone and wiped it off my hard drive. I also uninstalled a bunch of miscellaneous games that I've been playing. This is all in preparation for Ultima IX and Planescape, and I now have 3.6 GB of defragged space ready to go. Ultima's coming out tomorrow, and I've reserved the afternoon for some concentrated gameplay. It's been five years since the last one. I still remember playing Ultima III when I was a freshman in high school.
I tried flashing my BIOS the other day, so I could upgrade my CPU. No luck. It appears that I'll be running at 300 Mhz for a few more months. Around Summer of next year, I'll probably build my own system. I'm leaning towards fast and cheap, though there are a few items that are going on my extra list. The big items are CPU, memory, and video card. I'm hoping I can keep all those under $1500 or so. That way I can throw in some extras like DVD. Great fun.

A couple computer games have gone gold and should be released soon: Ultima Ascension and Planescape. Both are fantasy RPGs and should be out before Thanksgiving. Fortunately, I'm taking some time off, so I'll hopefully have some time to play.
Played Magic with the guys at work yesterday. We played Rainbow, where everyone played a particular color. I lost both times, but had a lot of fun.

It does seem there isn't much time to play these days. I go to work, watch Sam, and get about an hour of play in there somewhere. I do play Magic at work during lunch, which is fairly entertaining. My usual entertainment venue, my computer, is suffering a bit.
At the moment, I'm playing Darkstone, which is a fairly good dungeon crawl. Thanksgiving is coming up, which is always a milestone in computer games. I should be seeing Planescape and Ultima XI pretty soon. I suppose it's back to playing on my computer from five to six in the morning.
