Writer's Block: Sh*t Happens

[Error: unknown template qotd]

Have something to live for, to care for, to love. Even if the odds against you are overwhelming, you can always remind yourself of something that makes it seem less horrible, and may throw a positive light over it.

Speaking of which. There's an estimated delivery date on my slave shoes - Tuesday afternoon. :3

Jagged Alliance Back In Action sucks

Sheesh. I've been looking forward to this game since Jagged Alliance 2. I've played it since the 1.05 patch, I've played the 1.13 mod over and over again. I was so happy when I heard JA3 was coming. I was bummed when I heard Strategy First went belly-up. I was thrilled to hear another company bought the idea. I was disappointed when they weren't allowed to resume programming on it due to some copyright issue.

Last year I heard about Back In Action. I imagined a completely new game. I was wrong. It's essentially a reutilisation of the JA2 story, with different gameplay, different game mechanics, an admittedly interesting pause-planning mode, but otherwise, the game is ruined. I've paid 33 Euro's which I could've spent on an Anime 2012 ticket.

And I waited for this some ten years? Ever so disappointed. ._.

STO sorta scammed me out of an additional €5, as well. I bought the Caithian race, which just looked beyond awesome. Then it turns out silver players (F2P's) only get ONE character slot. Turns out if you want to play more than one character (my main's an XP hog and I like playing it) you gotta buy AT LEAST 2 more slots. Meh. I'll make one more mention of my shoes arriving tuesday and then I'll shut up about it until I have them (or, goddess forbid, something goes wrong. Knock on wood).
