Oh yeah, I've actually started working on a "How to play Abel" blog. I'm no expert at using Abel, I just needed a place for me to put down my thoughts on how to beat ppl when I actually learn sth new to do so. Disclaimer: read at your own risk (of losing).

No new games
Nope, haven't started any new games in a while. Been busy with gambling, SFIV and other things which has prevented me from finishing any of the games I really want to play like Dawn of War II. I guess I'll start on finishing games again soon, maybe RE: Code Veronica... I miss the old RE style of gameplay.

CoH: Opposing Fronts & Championship Mode
Finally finished CoH:OF, seemed to take me ages since I was juggling sf4 in the background as well. The game deviates slightly from the original CoH in terms of units but apart from that, it remains exactly like the original (capture supply points, kill base, etc.). Nothing much to shout about but a enjoyable game nonetheless. 7/10.
Championship mode came out recently, been playing it and posting some replays online. I have some rants/compliments for it tho:
Pro:
1. Losing doesn't lose you points, where else winning often would put you in the better player pools more quickly
2. Replay option is a really good feature, its fun just to watch matches sometimes (especially the better ones)
3. Disconnect ratio feature is a real deterrent to quitters; I basically don't play with anyone with a disconnect of more than 2%
Cons:
1. Replay feature only lets you upload replays if you meet certain requirements, and only for the finals. They should let you save the replay in your HDD anyway, and for all the matches (maybe seperate the 2)
Can't see that many cons but I'm sure there are a few more, just can't think what they are right now. Anyway I said I would post replays of matches and all but I think i'm too lazy to do that. What I will do is make the site for Abel vs xxx match-up tips, to help the ailing Abel players (which I don't think there are many anyway). If I have time anyway.
Oh btw, I don't know if you got my sms, but.. Happy Birthday.
