Short and sweet
Vern's comment on posting an entry regularly not being all that easy was spot on. Finding something to write about isn't really an issue, it's the writing and finishing-what-you-started part that's giving me problems. I have around 4 entries here that are half done, and countless others that have been deleted. In hopes of remedying this, I've decided to write shorter posts. Will this work? Hell if I know, but it's worth a try.
So, I'm totally flooded with kick-ass games, I haven't had this much quality games at one time ever since the late 90's (when Half-Life was released I think). Halo 3 was a blast on co-op (otherwise it was fairly mediocre as a SP game), Bioshock is everything I hoped for, and DIRT is a hell of a ride. POrtal however one-ups all of these blockbusters. It totally came out of nowhere and surprised me (and most other folks) at how fresh, innovative and funny it is. The story (which seems non-existent at first) about your character, love, and uhm, cake is told brilliantly. The whole game comes off as intelligent without being overbearing, and it's an experience that every gamer should at least check out.
Write about what you enjoy man. Gaming? Web design? Development? I'm not really someone who can give ideas since it is a struggle for me too, but it's a start.
Speaking of games ... Portal, EP2, World in Conflict, Bioshock, Heroes of Might and Magic 5 ... not yet played. :(

Yeah, I'll try and write about anything that interests me at the moment and not get caught up in the minutiae of the entry.
Dude, play Portal at least, it's only aorund 3 hours long, and the ending is so worth it.

Sometimes, there just comes a time when we can’t find the words to put those thoughts into writing. We all experience writer’s block every once in a while. And when that happens, what I do is I read the news, I check out article directories and I take time to be silent and relax while listening to music and Voila! Words will just flow out. Freewriting helps me overcome writer’s block too. I write whatever words that are stuck in my mind until I come up with the right idea.
