1. Chalk talk has the potential to be really cool for the blogging community. All you soapbox fans better support this.
2. I came *this* close to quitting this site completely.
3. Dragon Age 2 is not nearly as bad as everybody made it out to be. I suppose that is the good thing about playing a game several years after release, you don't get caught up in everybody's hype. It is nothing compared to DAO, but hey, nothing could be.
4. Many awesome users left in the last few months and I almost joined them. I'm sticking around for now because chalk talk seems like the blogging community at least gets a tiny bit of attention now. Due to everybody leaving (and some huge changes in my work schedule) I have not been reading many blogs or producing any. That won't change for a while.
I'm working 6 days a week 10-11 hours a day with a 1 hour (each way) commute. No time for anything. Fiance is working 3 12 hour shifts a week, which sometimes overlaps with my day off. Very lame.
I hope I didn't miss anything major around here.
Tried out Fallout New Vegas. Not a fan. I barely finished Fallout 3, so I don't know why I thought I might like New Vegas, but I didn't.
I love New Vegas. Blew everything Fallout 3 tried doing(but couldn't) out of the water. Obsidian clearly understand the series better since they were its original creators.
I don't plan on writing any more blogs here. I've frankly run out of fuel when it comes to that.
DA2 got hit by fan-rage because it happened to be the first *really* disappointing BioWare game. That sort of storm was coming when they slipped up for the first time.
hey man :) always great to see a blog from you, seriously. wtf is this chalk talk stuff? and when did you finish doa? sorry about the baby type, on my phone :p
Don't know what Chalktalk is, but I'll check it out now that you mentioned it. And yeah, I know what you mean. My main interest in GS was its blogisphere, and they seem to have all but killed it.
It's a means to appease those clamouring for community recognition, whilst simultaneously pushing that community further away from the main site and out into the realm of "social networking".

@s_h_a_d_o Well that's certainly an interesting take on the concept, should I let the powers at be know that this might not be the best fit for blogging needs. Do you think that we go back to the drawing board?
I just played Dragon Age 2 and felt the same; it's not Origins but I didn't think it was a bad game at all. I can see why people were let down by it but there's still some good stuff in it too. I was lukewarm on Fallout 3 too; I hated it at first but liked the second half better. I haven't tried New Vegas yet though, just don't have much desire to go back to that world.
Sounds like a tough work schedule. Hopefully it won't be that way for long.
Fallout 3 was one of my favorite games; New Vegas didn't quite live up to it but I enjoyed it!
