Almost forgot to publish this

Uh-oh. Rapidly approaching midnight with a blank NeoOffice document staring me in the face again. I personally blame season 4 of House and the ease with which one can acquire it on the internet.

I'm not entirely sure what I've been doing all day. I can recall doing a wide variety of tasks that generally involve DVDs and video games but I'm not sure how they add up to the fact that I've apparently not had time to either write this post or even read my daily dose of webcomics. Seriously, I just skimmed through all the dailies and closed the tabs for the ones that won't be updating tomorrow so I could read them then. I just don't have the time or the patience right now.

I still have a whole bunch of open tabs for the Half Life wiki but I'll deal with that in a little while, after I've dealt with this.

Actually, that's something I have to say. Well, I don't have to say it but I have it and I wish to say something about it... it being a thought or experience of some kind.

What was I talking about?

Ah, yes. I completed Half Life 2: Episode 2 with the developer commentary today. As I've often noted and stated, I'm a glutton for trivia of all kinds and I wanted to find out more about the game development process. It was fairly interesting although I wouldn't have minded something slightly more in-depth. I'll have to dig back into some of my game design books, see if I can find one that's actually vaguely intriguing and readable.

Who knows, maybe I'll write a book like that someday. I hope to go into video game design and I hope to write a book at some point so it would seem fairly efficient.

I also got round to playing the first episode of Sam & Max Season One that I got off Steam a couple of days ago and so far I'm quite impressed. The humour hits the mark more often than not and there's a distinct shortage of good point and clicks out there, as far as I know. I'll play more of it tomorrow, along with Psychonauts.

Speaking of point and click games, my copy of Starship Titanic arrived from eBay today. Tomorrow's task is to make it work on one of my computers. It should be compatible with XP but it may still require a little (more probably, a lot, knowing my luck) fiddling.

I still haven't made a start on a whole load of other things but at least I'm enjoying myself while I waste time.

This post really has been very video game oriented, hasn't it? I don't think I really set out to do that. Of course, I didn't really set out with any topic in mind... Maybe there's something psychiatric-ish in there.

Nuts to it. I have a headache now. And a whole load of paragraphs on Vortigaunt culture to read before I go to bed.
