Hi everyone! I've just moved to a new apartment. Goodbye one bedroom, 27 sqm with a shared shower in the basement, hello three rooms, 60 sqm, real kitchen and shower in the apartment! Also. Hello order. Hello better hygiene. Hello girlfriend friendly environment. Hello dedicated work/game room. Hello balcony. Hello life.

Once I'm done getting all my stuff up, I'll be posting some pics of how I live, so that you can look at it with envy!

Sadly, I moved most of the furniture and stuff by myself, which meant hours of carrying stuff up and down stairs, and bucketloads of sweat. I also hade to drive it some 200 miles one way (have had to go three times so far). So, it's been a real bother. Sadly, that left the charts hanging. But, now here I am with a double dose for 'ya.

The first dose consists of some further Heroes of newerth ownage, with the game closing in on the Top 10. Apart from that, the week offered some FPS ownage, with Call of Duty: World at War Multiplayer, Team Fortress 2 and Combat Arms all doing fairly well.

Runes of Magic also shows up on the charts again, with a pretty cool four position jump.

Now, on to the second dose of the charts!

18. Counter-Strike 1.6
19. Runes of Magic
20. Aion Beta (+90)

Well. It's a good thing that this edition didn't come on its own, since jikes, what a boring week. Really not much of anything going on, apart from the (HOLY COW!) appearance of the Aion Beta. NINETY positions from one week to another. That just has to be a record here on the charts. I can't guarantee it is, but I've been writing these from the start, and can't remember I've seen something that can trumph it.

I think a beta weekend or something similar is the cause of the giant spike, so it's perhaps not that hard to explain. But still, it's a very impressive change in just one week. It'll be interesting to see what the game can do once it goes live.

And on that bombshell (I stole that from Top Gear), I'll leave you. I'll be back with the Video of the Week in a bit!
