....Must play Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion!
I finally understand why they called that earlier game "EverCrack." Holy crap I'm hooked.

Have you seen the new print ad campaign for D&D? It mocks Everquest with the slogan: "D&D: Because if you're going to sit in your basement killing dragons, you should hang out with your friends while you do it."
I'm not sure whether to fault them for ignoring Everquest's own quite complex social dynamics or lambaste it for ostensibly mocking their own customer base. Chalk another one up for my old enemy, irony without real meaning.

Heh. I wonder how they factor Neverwinter Nights into their promotion.

You got it right, Denise. It's a huge huge world to explore (I can't fathom how big Daggerfall was after reading about it on Wikipedia – twice the land size of Great Britain? good lord), but it also isn't the prettiest despite the high definition graphics. My only big complaint with the game is the lockup factor: About every three hours, it gets so resource-intensive that it locks up my Xbox 360, half the time forcing me to get up and manually turn off the machine since the controller's off button locked up with it. But it's great fun and a huge game. The Onion review said that it's not so much a video game as a lifestyle decision, like getting married or having children.

This is the last of four weekly blog posts about diagnoses that have completely changed my life since the pandemic started, after The Dragon, The Tiger, and The Serpent. I saved the lightest one for last. Many people who discover later in life that they're neurodivergent have reported spending years aware of the symptoms and signs of their condition without ever considering that the description might apply to them, and when they do finally realize, it's as if a thousand mysteries are solved at once: Things that never made sense are all suddenly explained.

I had a minor surgical procedure yesterday morning. As I laid in post-op for an hour, I could not sleep due to the middle-aged couple in the next bay who were watching and loudly discussing the news. Here are some things that I would like for them to know: - The Uvalde massacre was not faked by Democrats to take people's guns away. Go »Mile-High Hypocrisy

My mom and I played the previous game. Pretty awesome. It's cool because there is such a huge world to explore. She got number IV but I guess her video card isn't compatible so she can't play it yet. I might be nuts but I think I still prefer Might and Magic 6 and 7 because they have such pretty colors :-)
