Um, well, we listened to aggressively cheerful music sung by people chosen for their ability to dance. Then we ate cookie dough, and talked about boys.

Okay. I just hit the appearance of the T-Rex.

Wow.

I'ma take a break for a bit, 'cuz I've been playing for a while, but I really liked the T-Rex. Good times. Good times.

I picked up a copy of World of Warcarft. I haven't installed it yet. This can lead to no good.

I just killed the T-Rex. That sucked. I successfully pulled off the adrenaline dodge (key to killing all end bosses in the game) *ONCE*.

I killed the friggin' thing the hard way -- with unlimited pistol bullets.

My heart is pounding and my fingers hurt.

For people keeping track at home, I just got my adventure for the Serenity: RPG back from the MWP editor for some last minute tweaks. Got it turned around in 4 hours, hopefully the sucker will end up in distributors soon. It was originally supposed to be a summer release...

I have heard stories. Stories that involve lost MONTHS to that game. No no no. I will not lose what little time we have together to fake reality!

Yeah, I have to side with Kristin, ND. Warcraft is not a wise purchase for anyone with limited time. Hell, any MMO is deadly to a freelancer's career.

Of course, given that GTA IV has now been out for 4 whole weeks and I'm still not done with it, I may be seeing the very upper limit of what I can manage in terms of game-time outlay.
