Dragon Age
I’ve been playing Dragon Age ever since it came out, neglecting my studies and even NaNoWriMo.
The game is really high quality, and I have yet to experience glitches or any game breakers. I picked up the Collector’s Edition, which came with a cloth map, in-game items, and a bonus DVD containing a set of wallpapers and the sound ltrack for the game.
The biggest problem for me was that the toolset install caused my Windows install to go haywire, which resulted in my upgrading to Windows 7. That, however, is a different slice of cake.
The game is rather well-built, and the graphics are pretty. With a little more work, it could even be a pretty good MMORPG. As is, it already feels like one with the expansive and attractive environments and gameplay.
Hatena
School starting soon, and as a study guide, I’ll be blogging in Japanese at http://d.hatena.ne.jp/CocoaMac/.
Why is that? I ended up creating a Hatena ID through DSi Flipnote, so I thought, why not?
Midsummer
It’s now around that time, midsummer. That means a little over one month till Orientation and the start of school.
Recently, I picked up Neverwinter Nights 2 Gold, and had a blast. I’m considering buying Stirms fo Zehir, and Mysteries of Westgate.
3.5E forever.
Forlorn Watchers
I’m announcing the initial opening of Forlorn Watchers, a gaming blog and community. Please check out the site, register, and even participate- I’m sure that the members of the community would appreciate a little more Mac in their lives.
Status Updating
It’s been a while since my last post; I haven’t really been active in any online communities either. However, my stay at High School is finishing up on Thursday, the 28th- More time for work. Incidently, that is about the time that my next figure, a figma of Suzumiya Haruhi is coming. Look forward to a review!
On other news, On The Rail is still in progress, and a chapter 1 release preview may be coming in the summer. I’m also going to be working on several Mac applications as well, although release possibilities are quite questionable.
Fallout
I’ve been getting back into Fallout now, especially now that I can mod.
Nothing big yet, but I suspect nothing productive on my Spring Break.
State of the Otaku
It’s been a while since the last update- Just what has been going on?
MO hasn’t been dropped, although I’ve been preoccupied playing a few games (Orange Box, Counter Strike, Garry’s Mod), in addition to a new one I’m starting soon (Lost Planet, by Capcom). I’m a sucker for Mecha, and a sucker for the Source Engine.
Exams coming up.
JBoxing
I recently had an order issue with JBox, the store that I usually use to get my figures. My AMEX giftcard was charged, but the processor declined payment. The card was still charged, however. I opened a ticket on JBox, and a while later, there was staff helping me to resolve this issue. It took an entire week, but I can say that I have my goods on the way, and that I definitely like JBox service.
My thanks goes out to Jun, Dennis and the rest of JList. You guys rock.
Giving Tree
The MacHeist Giving Tree is now concluded. The event involved both Mac and iPhone software.
Although I was unable to win amy of the iPhone software, I did get the bundle of Mac software (thanks to M12 and Fergus- you guys know who you are). Some of the gems in that bundle were 1password and Lugaru.
1Password looks like the one that I will be using the most of, due to it’s security features for password protection.
The Sims 2
Today I picked up the PC version of “The Sims Double Deluxe” for $9.99- A decent price. It included the base game, the nightlife expansion, and a celebratios content pack. There are definite other items I would have wanted, but this is pretty good for a new Sim man. I’m considering a show using the game, perhaps for usage over at Vjutsu.
