The archive says December 2006, but “Terminal Days @ WordPress” really got started around November of ‘07 (what with all the imported posts from Blogger). Now, 12 and a half months and 163 posts later, I guess it’s time to mark its one-year birthday. Or something, whatever.
The annoying half of my life – the weak-flesh-and-hale-blood part – is rather malignant at the moment, but at least this blog hasn’t changed much.
I’ve been playing Fallout 3, and encountering the classic, “horde everything because something really bad might be around the corner” syndrome that hits every game with inventory management. This is the the problem with games emulating reality – it makes common gaming conventions really bizarre in hindsight. Consider the fact that, at given point in time, my male avatar lugs around four rifles and at least a crate of grenades and mines.
I mean, I don’t even use the Laser Rifle. Or the Sniper Rifle, except for the occasional long-range shot. If something really bad does pop up, it’s far more likely I’ll fast-travel home to fetch my mini-nuke launcher instead.
PS: Damn, post 666. I should’ve saved it for the Silent Hill Homecoming review.
Hey! Back! And this time I actually have a decent reason for the lack of writingness.
Mainly the fact that the shipment from Canada’s arrived, so a whole week was spent just going through all the boxes. And then another week as I had to format my computer, get the past year’s stuff copied back onto it, get the Internet working, et cetera… So now, it’s more like this.
(Actually, that’s about a week old, before the format. But anyway.)
I celebrated by finally getting to work on one of those Master Grade gunpla kits I got, uh, six months ago.
One down, five to go…
(And to my surprise, my Strike survived the trip, only to be completely screwed when it dropped from my desk. Now it’s only got one antenna…)
While the amount of time my computer is using P2P is about the same as, say, a dedicated 14hr/day job, I don’t use DDL for big files much.
Anyway, we recently got a 100mbit/s connection. This is coming from a guy who’s been using regular Ethernet for the past six months, mind.
I mean, if this doesn’t justify a “holy shit”…
(Also yes, not much to write about…)
Aside from my continuing Japanese self-study (via playing Fate/stay night, reading Negima!, and attempting to translate… tons of stuff, while having a dictionary nearby and online to cross-reference) I’m still working out the kinks of continuing my education, and kinda-sorta looking for a job in the meantime. So not much time for personal blogging, or writing in general. Sigh.
I’ll hand it to Shirou to jam up some space.
Okay, I caved. I got a Facebook account. Let the facepalming commence. Or possibly not.
The sudden leap in number of entries is a bit jarring for me – guess I just have a lot of say for some reason. Anyway, I finally noticed the new comment that’s been sitting on my Dashboard since August. I rarely get comments as it is so it apparently took me one and a half month to realize and a half more to do something about it.
