Goodbye, Everybody. It Was Nice Knowing You.

I'm changing. I can feel the forces of nature deep within my core, marching like the clattering Skeleton army of a level 20 Undead Dark Usher. Riding like a Slayer on the scaly back of an epic Dragon, the Guilds within me attack and defend on the battlegrounds as Castellans drain their resources, only to be plundered by the unquenchable army known as - nerd games.

You see? That's where I'm headed, people, and it's not my fault. First, my new job starts in a week, and it requires that I am highly familiar with an unexpectedly addicting MMORPG called Heroes of Gaia, which I've really come to enjoy. On top that, because it's free and played in the browser on Kongregate, it's far too easy to jump in and play whenever I have a few minutes in the morning, while I'm at work (don't tell the boss), and when I get home at night. It's getting bad.

Next, because I wasn't able to play Battlefield: Bad Company 2 tonight (hit the jump for the fun story why), I instead played the demo of a game called Divinity 2: Eco Draconis; a fantasy RPG that puts you in the shoes of a budding Dragon Slayer in an open-world, dare I say Oblivion-esque, setting on a mission to kill dragons. Now, anyone that has ever seen a dragon slaying movie can pretty much guess where the plot is going, but even then...I liked it. I don't know why. I shouldn't like it, it's not even that good, but I did, and I might play more.

This is the end, everybody. LL Cool Mark as you know him has been taken over by a powerful, and nerdy fantasy force, and I don't know if he'll ever be back.

Lightning bolt! Lightning bolt! Noooooooo!!!!!!! Here's why I can't play BF:BC2 tonight, which surprisingly isn't due to server problems.

My wife put the BF:BC2 disc into a Netflix package instead of the movie, and took it to work to send out. Luckily she ran out of time before work and didn't get the chance to go to the mailbox, so, crisis averted. Still though, I'm here, and Battlefield isn't.
