日常生活

A while back the money ran out on my account and I have been on another of my "sporadic" breaks. My plan to reach level 85 on my paladin was put on hold, once more. I only got to about 71 when my account was frozen from the lack of funds, and I haven't been bothered to reactivate it again. Truth is, I have decided enough is enough. I'm quitting, finally.

Game Over.

It's been a good few years and you will be missed, but I suppose I've finally come to the conclusion that it's time to move on... I tip my hat to you, WoW. :-)

..I finally speak, and out comes one stupid joke after another.

I'm not kidding; if you've talked to me, chances are I tried to be funny. I know that I'm not funny, but I don't seem to know when to stop talking..... And then you walk away, thinking wtf is wrong with me. I walk the other way, thinking the same thing.

Socially Awkward Penguin, I am you.

Aperture Science Handheld Portal Device - If Leonardo da Vinci had come up with the Handheld Portal Device (and I'm not saying he didn't), it might have looked like... Like, uh.. Like it always did... Imagine playing Assassins Creed with this baby. :o

This Was a Triumph - The cake is a lie! It's a tasty, triumphant lie - sure - but a lie none the less.

Haunted Scarecrow - Don't gaze into the pumpkin's eyes or you'll end up harvest. Seriously, don't! According to that grin you'll be the pie!

Who Watches Us? - I've seen V For vendetta only once and I thought it was alright, not awesome (but I do like the mask). Same goes for Watchmen. Combine them for greatness, though.

First impression: "WTF Steam?"

I got home from work and started installing the game. Six hours later, it's just about ready to launch. Six hours. What. The. Fuck. It feels like the DVD didn't contain anything else than an initial pre-install program asking for the key which, once entered, turned over to Steam and downloaded the game. Seriously yeah, I think I downloaded the fucking game and the DVD was just a facade...

*clicks PLAY*

(A.k.a. To be continued)..

Edit 11.30am: I accidentally attacked a man instead of talking to him and the entire village of Riverwood came out to get me. Fuck this - restart from previous save..

Edit 1.00pm: Experiencing a lot of glitches, a lot of them to do with either my character's model or lightning of the world around me. I fell through the floor in a cave, and the screen went haywire, flickering. Loading a previous save didn't fix the flickering so I closed the game.. Hopefully when I restart the game will be back to "normal".

Edit 5.15pm: I could continue (thankfully) without too much trouble, even though glitches appear here and there all the time. A few screenshots:

A lot of these glitches happen when I tab in and out of the game, but they also randomly happen when stepping through doors to new areas/buildings. It has also started crashing, kicking me out of the game, forcing a restart which is quite annoying.

Despite all the bugs I'm facing, I think it's an alright game but there's just too much to take in. There are so many things to pick up, and you can only carry so much, and I have no idea what things are useful. Do I need a cooking pot? A broom? (I actually got 2 of those). And all the clothes that I strip of the dead bodies I leave behind me...

I haven't really figured out how to use magic yet, but I'm getting quite skilled with a bow, so I'm thinking I won't be needing it. Yet...

I got StarCraft II a while back and it's really rather sweet. The single-player campaign is pretty interesting; I'm currently on my second playthrough (started on casual and are now working on normal).

Rather than campaigning though, my focus have mostly been on custom games, such as tower defence or tug of war. Having a blast playing with my brothers and some friends. Heaps of fun!

We've played a few 2v2 and 3v3 matches but I suck pretty bad at those so I generally avoid them. (It's no fun losing all the time..)
