I emerge from my hole once more to post!
Yes, I've been playing Morrowind a lot lately. I got it from Ben for my birthday (Jan. 13) and I must say it's totally awesome. It's like virtual D&D. Of course, D&D is better, because of the group stuff that gets going on, but when you need a little lvl 40 mage action going on, you can't always just call up your usual group and have em head on over. That's one reason why Morrowind is awesome.
Another reason is because it's so open-ended. I think I spent about 20 hours before I even got any further than the first mission on the main quest. There's so many side-quests to do and so many places to go it's insane. I'm a member of about six or seven guilds and each of them has their own sets of missions (quite a bit at that) and then there's just random family tomb/dwarven ruins raiding, and so on and so forth. I believe I've dumped about 60 hours or so into this game so far, and I think I'm about... halfway done with the main quest. That's crazy.
Yeah, so go buy it. Watch out though, it's a little glitchy, and you need a semi-decent system to run it. So check that stuff out before you buy it. But if you can run it, go get it as soon as possible. But be warned. If you're anything like me it's gonna suck your life up. I'm normally impossible to get up out of bed in the morning to get ready to go to school. I've been getting up at about 7:00 or so after my mom's been yelling at me for about 15 minutes. But for the past two weeks or so, I've been getting up at 6:00 just to play it for a little bit before I have to go off to school. Yeah. I'm pathetic. But that's how much I love this game. I've never done it before for any other game.
Anyway, enough of my supreme Morrowind-loving.
Yes, this has been a good week as far as my computer is concerned. The other day my dad went and bought me an optical mouse, and it has a mousewheel, both of which are upgrades over my old mouse, which really sucked. So I'm happy. Woulda preferred a Logitech one, but oh well.
Also, my dad's computer just exploded on him. (Well, not literally, but you get the idea.) So he bought a new one. When the computer store gets done looking at his stuff and fixing it, I get the old stuff. =) Upgraded processor, motherboard, I *think* soundcard, but I'm not sure, and more RAM. Yes. Totally awesome. My games will run much nicer. Battlefield especially will be nice because then I can throw in more AI bots so I don't have these five-minute gaps in the big levels where I don't see anyone, and not every single troop in the game is in a tank, so I can actually have fun sniping and machine-gunnin' instead of having to switch to an Anti-tank every two minutes (for those of you have played the game and enjoy being Anti-tank, that's great. But personally, I absolutely hate them. I cannot stand being an Anti-tank. So I get rid of that tank as soon as possible and then pistol someone and steal their kit. It gets frantic.) Plus I can make them a little smarter.
So anyway, Missouri's been hit by a bit of snow and ice. Started Sunday, which sucked, cause then I didn't get to go see all my church friends. I miss them. Badly. That's what happens when you only see people twice a week. That's why I hate summer. I never see anyone. Anyway, it continued on to Monday, and we still had school. Then, today comes, and EVERY school in Missouri (well, on this side of the river) closes. But Knob? Noooooo. I guess we have to prove how dedicated we are to learning or some crap like that. Well, when buses and cars are going off the roads on a regular basis, don't you think that maybe the roads are a little too slick to be driving on? Blarg.
Oh, and I hate Lieberman. Just so you know.
