I have managed to attain IPPT Gold as part of the second year NSF requirement =) This means no more IPPT till reservist and an extra $200 into my pocket. Timing was at 9.33. I remember how horribly tiring the last lap of the run was. Anyway because of this, I got one extra day off!

I remember that I have, admittedly, not bought any genuine games for a very long time. Indeed, the last game I brought was probably Warcraft III – The Frozen Throne in year 2003! So anyway, I decided to buy C&C – Red Alert 3 at long last. The damage was $75 for the premiere edition.

Some forces seemed to be at work when I wanted to buy the game. First, the ATM machine I went to could not dispense cash. The second one I went to was spoilt by some people who got their card stuck inside the machine. But I was adamant. In the end I managed to withdraw that extra $20 I needed.

I think I am going to get more games this year. The RA3 expansion and the upcoming trilogy of Starcraft II games.
