Hmm.
Well, I guess it's time for my yearly (maybe) post. Bored at work so I might as well.
Practically nothing has changed since the last time I posted. I moved out of Kenny's and in with my cousin (who is seventy three), where I have been living since. Still working at IBM though I just changed jobs, I'm working in the vault area as opposed to the floor, something I rather like.
Dad's health is more or less good. He had a stint in the hospital for a while but then that was over and he's been fine ever since. He's actually getting out and doing shit now so that's really good in my opinion.
Game-wise it's ups and downs. I finally got around to playing through Dragon Age: Origins and holy shit that was fun, Bioware came through with an amazing story again and the gameplay was rather enjoyable after I got used to it and managed to set up the AI the way I wanted it. I finally got a new 360 and managed to play through and actually beat the Godfather, which I enjoyed and got a ton of achievements for, then I went back and achieved up Fable 2, which I am happy to say I'll probably never play again. And of course there is World of Warcraft.
I have a love love-hate relationship with WoW. I originally got into it to play with friends, which led me from being Alliance to Horde, to changing servers, to almost quitting, to changing servers again, and staying where I'm at. Pretty much all of my RL friends are drifters when it comes to MMO's, they'll be all hard dicked and dropping into play and still will be really fun for a while then they'll disperse never to be seen until the next contact patch or big thing with the game.
So this always leaves me with little alternative than to actually talk to people in the game, which in the last four or so years I've been on my current server has been rather nice. I've met a ton of people that I still talk to outside of the game and the group of people I play with now are awesome, even if I don't look that forward to raiding I look forward to getting on vent and bullshitting with all of them. We're the number two guild on my server and somehow I've managed to be named an officer in this time, so I guess I'm(we're) doing something right.
Granted this group of people is slowly turning me into an even worse person than I already was. Where I have always been something of a wise ass, I'm getting deeper and deeper into IRL troll territory with every passing day, 4chan doesn't help either. 4chan is one of those stupid things, I would peruse it occasionally when I'd want to read some manga or see what porn they're putting up that day, now almost daily I'm browsing /b/. Though now a days it's getting shitty and I'm enough of an oldfag to wish for earlier times. Oh well.
That's enough introspecting for one day, I need to go troll some forums.
-Stewb out.
