Happy 2008! Believe it or not, it has been exactly 5 years since I started Xephalon.net. Although the design scheme is basically unchanged, the website has undergone a few upgrades, including user comments and Recaptcha. But more importantly, this past year marked several major events in my life, like getting married, attaining my PhD, and deciding to specialize in ophthalmology. Beyond love and career, 2007 will also be remembered as the year that electronic gaming returned to my life in full force. It began with completing our epic journey through the world of Oblivion, then shifting to the white, witty, wonderful world of the Wii to defeat crazy raving rabbids, rescue Mario’s multi-dimensional world, and embark on a quest for the Twilight Princess. And with a line up of some of the most impressive FPS games I have ever seen – Gears of War, Call of Duty 4, Crysis, and Bioshock, all sitting on my computer, I fear that the gaming industry will finally squeeze that last drop of productivity from my existence.
