Video Games!
I've been playing a lot of video games lately, usually Torn.com and the Assassin's Creed series.
Torn: Today I bought a laptop and a gas can, so now I can check my stocks when I'm not in Torn City (a moot point since I usually don't travel), and commit the crime of arson. I sold my remaining points for a few million dollars; I'm saving up for stocks. In addition, I raced in Class B, and am doing okay at it. My bazaar is doing well; I sold all my first-aid kits, my candy and my flowers. I also put some drugs up for sale. I'm thinking of buying property and upgrading it, then turning around and selling it for a profit. Just whatever way makes the money. That's my goal in Torn--to be rich.
Assassin's Creed Brotherhood: Finally rebuilt 100 percent of Rome--take that Borgia scum. Got all 10 feathers and most weapons. I'm on the second level of Thieves' Guild Quests and the second level of Courtesan Quests. I've got the maximum number of Assassin Recruits, although none of them have reached the rank of Assassin. I'm collecting the Borgia flags--I'm at about the halfway point on that--and going around getting treasure. I unlocked Brutus's armor--God I hated the shrines of Romulus! I also completed a couple of shop quests, which I loathe as much as the shrines.
On a side note, I like the historical aspect of the AC series. I'm learning a lot by reading about the buildings and other facts, and reading about the characters on Wikipedia. The Borgia family were some sick fucks, and I mean that in a literal sense. Lucrezia may have had an incesteous relationship with her brother, and in the series it's implied she was unnaturally close to her father and uncle. She also had an affair which may have resulted in pregnancy, which resulted in two papal bulls concerning the child's paternity: one claiming her brother Cesare as the father, one claiming the pope/her father was the father. The child was eventually recognized as her half-brother.
Who needs soap operas when you've got history? I couldn't write something that sick if I tried!
