Been Away

I know, I know. Where have I been? Well, I've just been busy. I moved recently and I've finally gotten the mess down to one room. Things are about back to normal for living conditions. Unfortunately it's my office/computer room/spare room that's left. I've been making do with my laptops in the living room for fun and frivolity. I get by.

I've also been playing Dragon Age 2. I blew through it once with ease and displeasure. Now I have a bug up my butt to get my one perfect completion file, archive it, and be done with it all. This installment was an epic fail in my opinion so I'm not interested in doing any more than what's necessary to have a save file for round three. At this point I hope there isn't a three. This one was such a... a... lemme think... such a hopelessly boring, meaningless, immature, vulgar, poor excuse for a "sequel" that I'm ready to go back to board games. Where's my Monopoly gone? It sucks. 'Nuff said.

OK, sucky games aside, I have been stopping by TSR daily to check in and sort of stay up on creations. I have a folder bursting at the seams with stuff I've downloaded since I moved, but haven't installed. I think I'm ready to get back to Sims 3 once I get my game domain (the room left to do) in order. I have to be in my environment to really enjoy my games. I can't just sit on the couch with my laptop, watching vapid TV shows, and sim. That's not really taking my hobby seriously. No. I like to surround myself with my name books, house floorplan collection, binders full of... simmy stuff, and have lots of desk space to write stuff down, track families, and create. Although I think my creating will be whittled down to building. It's what I do and I've given up all hope of ever having the time needed to delve into designing other things or learning new creation skills. I have a full time job already. My hobby doesn't need to become one.

Oh, I also got Sims Medieval. My son dove into that the day I got it and within a half hour we were disappointed beyond tears. Good idea, lots of potential, sucky execution. I haven't played it yet but I probably won't waste my limited free time on it after watching my son. He gave it plenty of time and several different attempts and it just ain't got it. We were so excited too. I do hope to see someone bring the hairstyles to the Sims 3. Some of those are worth keeping. Maybe some of the clothes for that medieval flare. But the rest can go play in whatever that stupid pit they put in the game is. Anus of the underworld I guess. I feel the game was nothing more than a HUGE step back in simdom. We're better than that now. Don't get lazy.

Anyway, I should go. Got stuff to do today and my game domain awaits my organization skills. I'm here. I might just not say anything for awhile. I will be back soon though.
