By the time you have read this column, I will have left Gainesville, curled up on my couch back home and put myself into a video game coma. Instead of catching up on new releases during my time off, as I assume many will do, I like playing my favorite games during breaks. I feel as if I’m returning to a time of innocence before papers, projects and deadlines consumed my life. In my opinion, new releases — even the ones your friends rave about — are way too expensive to risk buying. However, if you do happen to have $60 burning a hole in your wallet and want to try something new, here are two new games you should play during your week of freedom.
I see you every day as I commute to school on my bicycle. You’re waiting for the bus. You’re sitting in traffic. You’re driving around in circles looking for a parking space. You’re pumping gas at more than $3 a gallon. You know what I do when I see you? I laugh. And then I get to class on time, without fail.
Although cruising the Caribbean or fist-pumping on the shores of Panama City Beach may sound like a blast — and we’re not saying either isn’t — those staying in town next week don’t have to go far or spend a lot of money to be entertained. Gainesville and its nearby cities have plenty of fun activities to keep you busy during spring break. Check out the Avenue’s top picks:

I’ve been hearing about how computer gaming is either dead or has been dying since 2001. And with arguably the smallest audience in the already niche video game industry, I admit it’s kind of shocking that computer games are still around. Even more shocking is that computer gaming had its best year since “Quake” and “Doom” created the first-person shooter.
Susan Gonzalez is obsessed with it.
Ladies, don’t be shy. Go ahead and show your “we’re-just-friends” guy some love. Sure, girls have to have their girl BFFs, but some say women may be remiss in ducking platonic friendships with guys. For one, that male chum of yours has something none of your estrogen-fueled cohorts do: less emotion.
Mid-afternoon, Bunny, Luke and Roxy sway their rotund, wrinkly bodies in anticipation. They know feeding time is approaching. But their shifting weight is not only out of excitement: It’s also out of necessity. Each of the three Asian elephants weighs about 10,000 pounds.
My first experience with the “Guitar Hero” franchise was in summer 2007 in my neighbor’s garage. With a full drum kit in one corner and a Marshall stack beside it, there wasn’t a better atmosphere to begin my imaginary rock star life. On a small outdated television, I became entranced by the rainbow of notes speeding toward me, seemingly leaping off the onscreen fret board.
