  Amalur Demo Woes

  I installed the PC demo of Kingdoms of Amalur from Origin, but it's totally unplayable. I got the latest Catalyst drivers, but I don't see any in-game footage. Although I do see the character creator.
  The sounds of the intro video often overlap the voice of the narrator, so you can hardly hear a thing she's saying. I have turned the subtitles on, but they don't show.
  Also, when I open the in-game options, they don't fade out when you return to the game. So now you see both the options and the HUD. And some of the text light up like a neon sign.
  
  I was looking forward to this, but this isn't a good first impression. I'm not going to buy a game that is cleary still in beta.

  Monkey off my back

  Last month it was a year ago that I had quit smoking. So for a while I have been pondering what reward I should give myself. As I was also affected by the hype, the iPad has crossed my mind, but instead I've settled for a DSi XL.
  
  
  
  I still remember envying my schoolmates, when they showed me their Donkey Kong hand-held. Which was luxury beyond my means. But now (twenty-seven years later), I have set the record straight. With my first owned portable system from Nintendo.

  Loves the Economic Crisis

  Because it has opened the gates to bargain heaven and I am finally able to afford stuff that was previously unattainable for me. For the past year I have been paying attention to the special offers, hording loot left and right. And now at long last I own a home theater setup, including a full hd plasma, surround sound and a blu-ray. And just today I topped off the cake with a nice X360 Elite cherry.
