Star Blog #51

Ok well it won't be very "star-bloggy". I'll just do a little SC2 stuff up front.

Still playing of course :) I had a massive failure on Thursday night in team games where I focus fired my own mothership and killed it with my Void Rays....*sigh* lol oh well it was hella funny and we won the game anyway. It was a 3v3 and we all went Mass Void Ray / Mothership (all 3 protoss).....seems unbeatable lol Played a 1v1 yesterday on my laddeer (currently ~rank 13) and this douche bag Terran tries a base trade with me. Of course I know what his lame ass plan is - he's going to base trade and fly his base off the map....which he does. Unfortuantely for this douche nozzle at the time of the base trade I had enough money to rebuild my base and that's what I did....got some Void Rays out and found him floating off the side of the map. "What a fucking loser" - I messaged that guy with that exact message. The beginning of the match (first 8 or 9 minutes) was the base trade....then it was 15 minutes of me rebuilding my base, scouting around looking for him and eventually finding him and killing him.....so aggrevating. I think buildings should need a 1 minute cool down where they can't fly for every minute of flight.....or something. Oh well - easy win really but that guy was a douche. Anywho it killed my desire to play after that.....and maybe I wanted to play a little more Skyrim...

Yep picked up Skyrim this weekend. I hated Oblivion and was only mildly fond of Fall Out....so really I had no interest in Skyrim (except that a lot of the videos looked pretty bad ass). However both my boys loved Oblivion so we picked it up. The game is really really good. I mean it still has a lot of the flaws that Oblivion has (floaty melee combat, questionable AI, bad animation / character modeling, no emotional attachment to the characters or towns in the world etc.) but I really like the quests / story and of course all the dangling carrots (leveling up, becoming more powerful, cool items, interesting crafting - just evolving your badass anyway you want.) and the world is of course huge, diverse and beautiful. After playing Dark Souls the combat is definetly a let down in Skyrim. And I'm a big Dragon Age fan and I wish your party had some of those cool party mechanics and that you could project your characters attitude through conversation (i.e. be a complete smart ass, or a dick, or whatever...you have opportunity to show a little attitude....but really not anywhere near the level of Dragon Age) But anyway as a hater of Oblivion and mild liker of Fall Out - I would say Skyrim is a lot better than both of those games and worth the purchase if you liked those games even a little bit. I'm not sure if the game is the best RPG or game ever yet :) as some reviews would have you believe but I think it is good and full of great content.

Last night in Skyrim I stole a horse (that's how I roll) and I encountered 3 bandits in the woods so I jumped off my horse and started fighting these guys - I look over and my horse is rearing up and stomping these fuckers lol it was awesome....best pet I ever owned - he was just going psycho on these guys jumping on them and stuff. I lost him unfortuantely when I went in a building he took off....oh well he was kind of free spirit anyway.

Peace!
