Although I’m unlikely to ever pay a subscription for a game again after the travesty that was SWG Online post “upgrade”, Star Trek Online is at the very least interesting. Also, Eclipse Phase seems very interesting too! I’ll be watching both for a while to see what eventuates.

This has to rate as my most extravagant “impulse” buy of all, Furbag is a tad concerned about her food supply now…
A slip indeed

Lovin’ this rain. Dust has settled, and everything looks and smells wonderfully fresh.

I really can’t describe the horror this fills me with every time I think about it. There are just so many things wrong about this from so many directions it makes my head spin!

Been pissing myself laughing playing Borderlands on the xbox 360 over last few days. I think the only thing that’s made me laugh this much before has been Mario Strikers on the Wii!

Well the majority of the last three days’ free time has been playing Dragon Age: Origins. Been a while since I enjoyed a game as much as Mass Effect (note I’m talking about the original, not 2), the original Neverwinter Nights, or Baldur’s Gate (either). I can see this one getting several plays just to see how differently you can manage things as a Mage or Rogue. It’s unfortunate I didn’t get this while I was on leave a couple of weeks ago. There’s no doubt the story’s been given strong attention once again, and I’m already entwined in the machinations of the factions involved.
A lot of gaming to be had the next few weeks.
A trek for Trek…

I had to chase 3 shops before I found a copy of Star Trek. JB Hi Fi incredibly were shut for Stocktake! I can’t believe that a Blue-Ray disc that I’m likely to pay top dollar for, couldn’t be obtained from JB Hi Fi on the day! Next was Big W, being close, and still no banana. Finally I had to resort to Sanity (one of my last choices for media shopping) to purchase it at a whopping $42. Still The movie is top notch reproduction, and plenty of extras, including a 3rd disc digital copy with OS X software to place the copy in iTunes & allow transfer to my iPhone. Hmm, I like this package. I could almost cite this as the most interesting Blue-Ray title I’ve yet bought! I can hardly wait until tonight to watch it, but I’m determined to get some useful tasks done today before enjoying this one tonight.
Hmm, that’s a lot of “!” in the above. 🙂
Not all of my trip out this morning was mindless selfishness. I also set up Dad’s Digital Set Top box for him, although he’s going to have to upgrade his connecting cable for best picture. Still it work’s and that’s the main thing to satisfy him that he’s got his money’s worth.
A new Trek…

After being awakened brutally by the Furbag at 05:30 and unable to return to sleep I was up bright and early.
Looking forward to picking up the Star Trek Movie today sometime. Hopefully it’s in, and hopefully they don’t run out.
Any other Monday…

What started out as a fairly relaxed and unproductive day turned into one far more satisfying in the end. Not that it’s very exciting for others, but I finally got my last gutter (roof) cleaned and hopefully sealed that voodoo leak. I’ll have to wait until it rains before I know it’s fixed though. Other than that it was get the housework out of the way so I can enjoy the rest of my holidays without feeling like I need to do things less enjoyable. Bit more stuff to do in the yard, but that’s going to wait until later in the week. I’ll have a couple of visitors near the end of the week and over the next weekend so no opportunity to leave it until then.
