Icarus's blog: "Hurts to watch."

I find myself in a good mood for the first time since...
Friday?
Me and my best friend are trial running a new MMO, fallen earth.

Think fallout 2 online with a 3 D interface.

...

seriously that's it.

And I don't have a problem with it, but like all sci fi mmo's it has a couple issues like
a small fanbase
a clunky fps/rpg hybrid fighting system
and a poorly contrieved and explained magic system

just leave it out kids.
Give me feats instead.

It's anarchy and neocron on steroids.

But yeah
pretty god damn impressive game thus far.
I'm already sizing it up for long term playability. I'll be interested to see if there's a decent team dynamic.
which is uuuh
kinda why you get a god damn MMO right?

I didn't touch my new 1/100 MG gouf.
I have NOT
received my paycheck
or my MG 1/100 Kampfer.

I'm kinda pissed.
Because I really want to be paid in a timely and consistent fashion like I was at my last job
every fucking friday
check in my god damn hand
placed there by my money fairy.

...
I'm sure both will turn up early this week.

Because I'm intending to order $90 worth of meat.
Hahahahahaha
no really.

The for really reals
serrano ham
as in from an old mountain cave in spain.

...
shut up its totally okay to spend that much on food.
Hell, I can spend that much on fast food in a GOD DAMN week.

Why the
FUCK am I doing this
you ask?

Simple, I'm building a flavor profile
so I can A.) Smoke one myself for a passable replica
B.) find alternative local ham for this big ass book of spanish cooking that requires quite a bit of rare spanish meatses.

Not a big deal kids.

It's not like I buy caviar and french ducks and french cheese or... *quietly and slowly eases the doors to his cubbords and fridge shut*
anything like that.

I dunno why I'm in a good mood.
It's not like I'm wagging my tail to go back to work
where life is consistently getting more complicated (they're talking more hires, and cramming them right on top of my previously SILENT corner of the building :/)

it's not like I'm looking forward to my friend blowing me away in that game while I work a full time job and he ... eats cheetos all day.

Seriously, he'll be through that game in a month and I'll be in the starting area still because frankly
I probably have less than 2 hours a day I can or want to spend on it.

But on the upshot
*shrugs* don't question my good mood, its just there.

As this site crumbles around me,
my love life becomes more and more satirical
and my hobbies increase in intricacy.

I just have to smile
and wait for large sums of imported pig.
