One thing I yearn for when I am programming is a debugger like Perl’s interpreter. If you had a bug in your code, it would tell you almost exactly where it was, and even suggest fixes sometimes (Ex: You probably forgot a semicolon at the end of line X).

I’ve been playing Battlefield: Bad Company 2 quite a bit. In fact, I’m getting close to 100%ing the achievements.
