I had to think
something, didn't I? I can't remember if
it was a comment here, or something I just thought to myself one day, but
suddenly I am being afflicted by insomnia once again. Seems to be getting worse each night. Typically, Mike and I will watch an episode
of something on Netflix just prior to going to sleep. Normally if I watch anything that late at
night (between 930 and 11) I will pass out almost immediately. Not as of recently. Instead, I'm wide awake, even 2 episodes
later. Last night was the worst yet- if
I'm having issues falling asleep I can usually put myself to sleep playing a
game of Sudoku or Hanjie on my phone.
Not last night. Took at least an
hour of hanjie after an episode of Burn Notice to finally drift off. And it's not that I'
m not tired, I am. Bleh.
While I lay there
not being able to fall asleep, I start thinking about mortality. That there are so many things I want to do,
or become proficient at, or want to see.
Makes me feel like I should be up doing or working on something.
With my recent
acquisition of RPG Maker, I've decided that I should also put a firm focus on
learning to draw. I've dabbled in the
past, but I've never thought I was very good, probably because I never put much
effort into it. Always assumed you had
to be gifted with the ability. Just like
RPGM, I'm going to put effort into it, and really push myself. I want to be able to contribute at least some
art to the games I'm going to put together for the DnD campaign.
Last night was the
Fantasy Football draft with my co-workers.
Didn't get all the people I was hoping for (but that's normal I think
for everyone who plays), but I'm optimistic :)
Scott was at Bentos
for the draft last night, and he's still showing interest in playing more of my
DnD campaign. Jon (Jennifer from work's
husband) would also like to play. He had
made a paladin before, but hadn't gotten to play. I told them if we had a day we could play
then I'm sure Mike, Kristin, and Joe would play, too. So maybe we'll pursue that again. There definitely was plenty more for them to
do. My plan was for the rest of the
campaign to be an RPGM game (you know, once I got better with using the
program.) I still want to see if I can
translate it into an RPGM game eventually, even if they miraculously finish out
the campaign :)
Finished off the
achievements I wanted to in Dragon Age yesterday. The game was okay. I think I pinpointed exactly what rubbed me
the wrong way about it- it was so buggy.
Mike said he didn't have problems with the game (that he could
remember), but I had numerous issues with combat especially. People would opt not to attack even after I
told them to, people would get stuck on random invisible objects, and I'd have
to wait at least 5 minutes after killing something to be able to loot it. When I ran through all of the intro stories
yesterday, I also had several issues with doors that were supposed to unlock
after enemies were killed that wouldn't unlock.
I had to do a bunch of extra running around to get them to open (during
which I wouldn't kill or touch anything.)
They would just magically open!
Bleh.
Started Remember
Me. Enjoying that :) I was nervous about the game, since I heard
you only get to do 3 memory remixes throughout the game. They so far have made up for that with other
neat features. Particularly enjoying the
build-your-own-combo-based combat.
Probably pick up New Vegas again as my long-term RPG. I barely got started before, so I'll just
start over entirely. Mike downloaded all
of the DLC onto my Xbox, so that'll be fun :)
Mike and I haven't
played much Rift, been playing Lego Harry Potter Years 1-4 instead. I'm sure I'm driving him mad with all the
Lego games XD Lego Marvel should be out
soon!
No Pathfinder
Friday! :( However, DnD will be on... apparently!
