Sov's Crazy Ramblings

Well as you may have heard I have been playing Fallout 3 recently and I have to say at first I was very impressed, I liked the story when I started out. You start by plopping out of your mother who quickly dies off letting you grow up with only your sciencey father to guide you. He gives you a gun at 10 and 8 years later decides to fuck off into the wilderness, leaving you at the mercy of the crazy vault overseer.

The game actually gets going after that and it becomes “openworld”. If you’ve played oblivion you will know the controls and and the feel of the game is pretty similar. With open world comes the ability to make your own decisions and movements in everything you do, sadly however this feels both restricted and undirected as the amount of side-quests is laughably small compared to oblivion and the storyline doesn’t allow for much open playing. 

You spend most of the rest of the game chasing after your father, beating/hugging as many people as necessary to get information relating to him and performing deeds which shift your alignment from good to evil very easily. This doesn’t seem to matter that much as characters don’t really seem to give a crap whether you are bad or good, and a quick visit to the church and a small donation will take you from the most hated person ever to the cuddliest fluff ball ever.

Other than these small problems the game plays nicely, there are a few interesting places along the way that you can visit and do quests at which are just generally fun. Overall I would rate it a fun game, with some interesting twists so check it out

The only MAJOR bug I have seen from start to finish is really just a guy in little lamplight whos head spins around as if his neck is made of spaghetti.

So I guess my score is: Play it

Come back! Its over, theres no more need for trees or presents or cleaning or cooking, its all done!

I hope to see everyone again soon as it has been quite lonely on teamspeak/skype for the last few days over this xmas period. 

So, what good news is there? Well I got socks! I sold some servers on christmas day, a few people randomly buying servers as a present to themselves or something I think.

Speaking of which, erg look at me this is turning into an advertisement… If anyone wants a server its 50% off time!

On away from RL news: I’ve started a priest though im not really sure whether to level as shadow or holy, thats a hard one. I also respecced kelate’s priest to shadow to give it a little try out and I really enjoyed it.. Oh crap don’t tell her as I didn’t ask before I did it, I don’t want to die!

I also notice that I have 3 titles lined up for reviewing there on the side and I might just do those. I’ve also been playing some GTA 4 and left4dead so I might just have to give those a mention when I’ve finished them.

Well actually I finished l4d already, it wasn’t bad if you like zombie survival and play online, otherwise it will get old amazingly quickly as there are only 4 missions. Probably not worth the $50 at the moment. Maybe when its down to 15-10 in 6 months time.

A very merry christmas, and a happy new year. Lets hope its a good one, without any tears.

Sadly however, war is not over. Hopefully this will change this year with the apointment of Barrack Obama to the presidency of America. But you never know do you.

So I would like to do as my queen likely will at 3 and say: Treat everyone with patience and respect and enjoy life as much as you can.. Or something like that.

Plus I will be listening to the queen’s speech, yes I will.

Take care all and enjoy xmas, Now I must go and mutilate the turkey!

I was going to the shop to buy … ummm well lets not get into exactly what, and I put it on the counter and asked the guy “how much do I owe ya?”

He said.. “I need about tree fiddy”

It was about this time that I realized this guy was about 20 stories tall and had scales! 

It was the god damn loch ness monster!

I said, “Damit monster, I aint givin you no tree fiddy, go get your own damn money!”

Back to the realm of sanity you get -100 points if you know the show thats from, and -500 if you know the episode.

Post-writing comment: I just found this in my drafts and thought, oh that would be fun to post.

Well I havn’t posted for a while and I feel you deserve some reasons why. I forgot. Is that a good reason? No it isn’t but I will gloss that over with some cool stuff that has happened recently.

I am currently talking on MSN with a really good old friend of mine that I havn’t talked to in ages. His name is Lanta, Hotlanta, he lives in Atlanta, bet you didn’t guess that eh? Well I havn’t seen him in ages and it’s been good to catch up, sadly he’s got computer problems and a job and a girl and he can’t come on that much but it was great to see him again.

You may have wondered what the “bad” is in the title, thats actually just a hint to my next friend. The spammers, yup, they found me here in my own site, I thought I was safe and sound, but no they fucking found me, “Please moderate these comments”. Glad I got that thing moderated..

Anyway another thing, I got my carrier today, a few new things in WoW and the EVE Markets crashed due to a massive exploit that existed for 4 years being fixed. It caused a massive jump in prices of everything, Ice products (my business) have hit an all time low with prices plummeting over the last few days. Sickening stuff really.

In other news I am hot! No, you didn’t think I was THAT self centered did you? No, I’m boiling, its roasting in here, so i’m gonna go cool off and get to bed. Take care guys and girls!

Edit: I know I have had those reviews pending for ages, I will do those tomorrow! Or try to at least.

Yes, I know, you must be thinking “oh my, he’s getting his hair cut? This is a fucking miracle. I think I am going to die of shock, brb”.

Well you will be glad to hear you may now die in shock as yes I have indeed had a haircut, I won’t post images, so before you ask: no.

Okay well i might if you really wanted to see, its not that amazing, its just pretty standard.

What I was wondering is, does anyone else hate having their hair cut? I don’t know if its only me because my hair is really fine but it drives me absolutely bonkers. It makes me itch and sneeze and just generally very stressed, I cringe at the slightest thought of having it done and I dread it!

On another totally unrelated topic, please pester Lobster into getting back into WoW, as I’m rather fed up with his continual excuses, get on it Lobster! I will break you if you delay any more! Srsly!

Thank you all for reading and please tell me if its just me who hates haircuts…. I don’t see how you can’t hate them, but maybe you do.
