Something to Talk About.
Wednesday, 6 July 2011
I'm a terrible, terrible blogger nowadays. Honestly, I have excuses. Valid-ish, I guess. I think a run down is appropriate so I can have it out of the way, and then tomorrow, I'll blog about the day I had yesterday, because it was fun. Okay.
1) Illness. I'm having a few minor health problems. It's kind of a massive deal for me, but in the grand scheme of things, I'm not dying, so I guess it would be considered minor. Maybe I'll talk about this in the future.
2) Sorting out. I'm in the process (still) of sorting out my room which seems to turn over more nostalgia than anything else in the entire universe. I'm currently in the process of making scrap books. And I'm keeping birthday cards from years and years ago because I'm a sentimental fool. I hope I don't have to mention all this again, unless I'm typing the words "my sorting out is done, I've magically sold enough dresses and costume jewellery to pay my rent until I find a job."
3) Gaming. It's been a really long time since I've been into gaming like I am now. I picked up Fable II at a car boot sale for £3, and I'd played a bit of it before, and didn't completely hate it, so I played that through, and enjoyed it. My character, however, was much too good to marry any old NPC, so she married a prostitute. And it's spit out more gamer points than I have for Left 4 Dead 2, which I've spent a considerably longer time on.
The latter is actually my main problem. I think I got about half way through Bioshock 2 before I put that on the shelf. I'm not giving up on it, I just have other things I could be playing. Like Fallout 3 now that I have The Pitt (which I've finished already) and Operation: Anchorage.
I sold an old gold necklace the other day for £50, so naturally decided that my best course of action was to buy the cheapest copy of Fallout: New Vegas I could find. Now that it's on it's way, I don't really have the intention of buying any more games for a long while, unless I find Beautiful Katamari for £3. Well, there is the point that I'm going to trade in the four Fallout 3 expansions I've got, used and now have no need for, but that's not technically buying a game.
But this got me to thinking, I now have something to track on the end of my blog posts again, and once my laptops media players are sorted out, I can keep track of my finished anime series again, which is kind of exciting. So yeah, I'll keep track of my gamerscore on the bottom of this thing now.
I think I just needed to get this out of my system. So here's my final summation. Fable II was good, Bioshock 2 wasn't so good, Fallout 3 is my 4th favourite game of all time (No More Heroes, Starfox Adventures, Mario 64, then Fallout 3) and I still have a tonne of other games I borrowed that I should probably play on. I finished Vanquish. I have no desire to play on Viva Piñata just so that my favourite piñatas get killed by sucky, more vicious piñatas. The Kameo disc I'm borrowing is temperamental and decides not to work when it's having a bad day. I can't be bothered to replay Left 4 Dead, when Left 4 Dead 2 was so much better. And Brutal Legend just speaks for itself.
I needed this ramble so badly. I talked games at Simon earlier, and I don't think he cared about it all too much.
