On games
This rant of Dom's about time for gaming struck a chord. I like to play each game in a single ongoing session instead of mixed in with a bunch of others. And the games I like are really long... Combine that with being an avid reader and full-time employed and I'm down to five or so a year now. Probably still falling.
I've been playing Tales of Legendia for what feels like forever. I'm used to RPGs having a "post-game" - sort of like a playable epilogue. But this is ridiculous. I finished the game in forty hours and I've spent twenty more already on the epilogue. I think there's about twenty-five still to come. And it's still got cut scenes and plot and all the things that normally distinguish the real game from the filler after the credits. It's almost enough to make me wish I wasn't enjoying it just so I could get on with something else!
Meanwhile, piratechan keeps talking about Civ. If she keeps it up I'm going to go play myself again.
See? I'm not dead!
