Europa Universalis 3: Heir to the Throne. They just announced a fourth expansion: Divine Wind. I CANNOT WAIT!
I played a game through as Byzantium 1399 to 1820, shit was so cash. No fucking Ottoman Empire, no Italy either in this Universe, it's Orthodox Christianity from from Italy to Iraq. I'll edit a screenshot in of the World Map when I get home.
You guys think I should get Victoria 2 or Europa Universalis: Rome next? EU Rome Looks like fun, but I can transfer my save over to Victoria and do some more awesome shit from my throne at Constantinople.
Halo: Reach. Best (only) Halo I've played so far. I realized lately that despite not being very good at FPS's, I enjoy playing them. Even if I do get spanked in multiplayer.
I'm in an on-campus apartment, and my fucking ISP has been working for four weeks to fix the download bandwidth on our end, and it's going to take another two weeks to do it. I got promised two free months of 3Mb/s internet because of all the trouble my line has had (no one else in my building is as crippled), but I still feel like that's slow. I might just switch to Comcast and pay twice as much per month for 15Mb/s, because I'm really fucking sick of hauling gear to the library just to get Mediafire music and a few episodes of Fast Karate.
The Internet is slow at a college? WTF.
I wouldn't be surprised if RIT has the most Internet bandwidth per student of any university in the world.
U of I's is absolutely insane. But like I said, I'm not in a dorm anymore.
Don't even bother bringing an extra computer. Just log into your account on their computer and download the game. Then either do a backup of the game to an external drive or copy the steamapps folder for your account to the drive.
Alright, so I've arranged to switch to Comcast. 3Mb/s at $20 a month (my present ISP's maximum offered speed) vs. 15 Mb/s at $40 wasn't even really a decision.

I'll get a speedtest on UIUC's internet in a bit.
The joke is that I can only enjoy that 5Gb/24h. So downloading Civ V (or any new and big game) would still be annoying.
Hey, at least I've got a massive back yard.
