Saturday, November 21, 2009 Amused. I played some more Dragon Age this evening... hence why I'm not in bed yet. The plot took an interesting turn and [kinda spoilers] I got captured and thrown in a dungeon (because I avoid fights wherever possible). With Alistair. The image of my character and him effectively naked (except for the... uh... man pouch underwear) standing together behind bars is now seared into my brain. Not that that is necessarily a bad thing. Now I'm hoping I do actually have the option to try and marry Alistair off to this rather... 'spirited' woman and that it wasn't just an amusing conversation topic. Though it certainly was amusing. Particularly since Alistair was listening in to this conversation and clearly wasn't pleased with how we were planning his future. XD ... I'm so infatuated, it's hopeless. It's really bad though that I'm already looking forward to my second play through with a female character ::cackles madly:: Hell, there was a moment since I hadn't played in almost a week where I actually thought I could start over, since I had forgotten various skills and things that I had and I thought it would be easier to start with a fresh slate. Thankfully I resisted. It's taken me about a week to get a third of the way through this game (or so it says). I am not starting over until I complete this thing! However long it may take! ... Time for bed... And hopefully Alistair dreams! XD Xilmin visited the elves at 02:35 a.m. Thursday, November 19, 2009 A little change, huh? Damn image host decided to eat my layout and I had some time tonight so I thought I'd make a new layout. Would want to do a Dragon Age one but I don't have enough screenshots for that. Plus I'd rather finish the game first (if I ever get there). So I'd been meaning to do a Prince of Persia one for quite some time (to say the least). I had thought I'd gone through all the Sands of Time trilogy making screenshots. But loading up my hard drive said otherwise so I flung this together... Only to discover after checking my 'back up' harddrive that I had done the whole thing (except some of Two Thrones) but had forgotten to copy it onto the second drive. I certainly have plenty to do a layout based on the first Sands of Time game, which was my intention in the first place. But I've run out of time. Next time once I find myself at a loose end but don't quite have enough time to warrant loading up a game. Before I go though, a quick catch up on what I've been up to. I spent pretty much an entire week playing Dragon Age (my god is it a good game!!!). According to Steam I totalled up 76.8 hours... in 8 days. This naturally meant I lied whenever I said I was 'working at home'. I was also getting into a rut without any motivation to do anything practical so the game was a great way out that allowed me to forget everything else. But then the headaches really began. And I had one night where I felt decidedly feverish and the headaches wouldn't abate for more than an hour upon taking paracetamol (if at all) and then I'd be stuck without anything to tame it for several hours. Ended up staying away from the computer for a couple days zoning out watching TV and doing cross-stitch (if I could keep my eyes open). And then yesterday to get myself out of the rut I decided to cycle to uni. I did not really appreciate how far that was. Well, it's only partly the distance since it felt longer since I have become decidedly unfit. And navigating streets is not the easiest thing to do. Ended up walking the last mile or so because I didn't want to risk my life on the main road and didn't want to get any more disorientated on the side roads. Missed the meeting I had that day and had to leave only a couple hours later to avoid cycling in the dark (though it was dark by the time I was half way anyway). I feel stiff and know I couldn't handle sitting on a bicycle seat any time soon (normal seats are bad enough... should have worn my padded shorts under my jeans). But I do feel so much more alive now. Hence how I managed to pull decent hours work today without feeling guilty for taking a little time to myself. Still not read anything. Today was dealing with things on the supercomputer, presenting a random scientific paper and a little of what results I have so far, listening to a seminar and looking over this weeks work for the first years. I'm teaching them at 10am tomorrow. I'm not usually even out the house by that point but it was the only feasible time for them so I'm stuck with it. They'd better damn well show up! And have questions for me since I am not going to be in the right frame of mind to form a coherent tutorial on my own steam. :S And on that note, I'd best get supper and be off to bed. Early mornings... I hate waking up... And I hope the worst of the rush hour is over by the time I get the train. Don't want to have to stand for the entire trip (it takes at least 35 minutes). Yeah, away I go... Xilmin visited the elves at 10:33 p.m. |
