Sorry, gang, not much of an update this week. I've got bronchitis. Or is that brontosaur? Whichever one is meatier and trims my neighbor's hedges from forty feet.
WHAT I"M PLAYING
but good last Thursday, leaving me to do a factory image scan. So far, the only game I've re-installed is The Sims 3, but I'll be downloading Lord of the Rings Online as soon as I'm feeling better. Right now, I can hardly focus enough to write even this paltry little blog.
OK, the unnumbered list buttons won't pop up after I hit enter after a paragraph, nor will it outdent to the left. What am I missing? Microsoft Word's Auto-Format has also become one hell of a mess lately. Ugh.
When I've been feeling well enough to game, I've been going between Worms 2 on XBLA and the last batch of Fallout 3 content, which I'm finding pretty amusing. I love Fallout 3 enough that I've supported Bethesda by purchasing all the DLC, and my most anticipated game is Fallout Vegas. The only thing I'd still like more of from Fallout is weapon types, but there are a ton already, so I'm pretty happy. Fallout Vegas could repackage Fallout 3 with new settings, characters, and weapons,and I'd still gobble it up. Worms 2 continues to be a great game, and now that more and more people are picking it up, the early multiplayer issues are starting to level out. It can still be frustrating to find a four player game, but that's really the last of the niggling issues left, other than some technical crashes when exiting out of the multiplayer options.
I'm also a good chunk of the way through my second playthrough of Devil Survivor for the DS, which is proving waaay easier with the New Game+ option. Leveling is a breeze with the exp. reduction eliminated for weaker enemies, so I'm having fun trying out some different teams. I've also been thinking about going back through and finally finishing up Final Fantasy IV, but the thought of that one cavern where you can't wear any metal still annoys me.
That's it for this week. Your question this week, dear friends, is what would you love to see in an MMORPG or MMO game in general? Personally, I'd love to see some kind of MMO based upon Tad Williams' Otherland or Memory, Sorrow, and Thorne novels.
