Hey!
Sorry guys. Been way busy IRL. No I didn't die, and no I didn't rage and kill anyone resulting in incarceration. Yet.
Just been taking care of some things going on in the real world: New job prospect - Driving Freight. Long hours, great pay, still in my probationary period before a full employment contract is gained.
Working on my solo album in the studio, auditioning singers. I don't sing. I scream in key. So that's been a bitch to find and take care of.
Gone back to the gym for stress relief taking pankration and general mma training. Just as a hobby, no delusions of trying to do anything sanctioned.
Annnnnd, been playing Dragon Age 2, as the drama here got to be a bit much with the rest of the community of nitwits. Plus I actually miss some story and reason behind the game. Oh how I wish we had a warband MMO. Anyways, thoroughly enjoyed my first run through of DA2.
I know there's alot of haters, but alot of it seems to be disappointment because they were expecting something else. Personally I went into the game with no expectations and found something akin to an interactive movie where I got to determine the attitude and personality of the main character and after achieving my first ending option I sat through the whole credits feeling both satisfied as I would after watching an epic first movie in a trilogy, and eagerly awaiting the next one because of how attached I got to my character, his love interest (you get a few choices here) and the rest of his companions and where they all went from here. Personally, other than a few minor gripes mostly involving aesthetics (more variation on armor choices for looks for myself, and combat obviously being more RPG-ish and not like warband) I give the game a 9/10 on my personal scale. I really want to continue with more story and see what happens to my character now as the game gave me many surprises, and somewhat touched an emotional connection I had to a few characters who met with tragic endings.
Anyways, gonna log in and play some c-RPG for a bit, though I think I might take another run through DA2 off and on with a different toon of a different character class and choose to take the opposite side of the group I did originally just to see how that plays out.
Welcome to the new members, and thanks to the officers and current members for keeping things together while I've been occupied.
