oh, the wonderful world of... my computer.

Well, it seems as though I've been getting into a lot of games again recently.  Specifically ones that I loved years ago and completely forgot about until certain people reminded me of how much fun I had with them.

I'm back in Guild Wars now.  I finally got Factions, so my hot Ritualist is out there kicking ass and NOT healing people.  I finally decided to do that mission I was stuck on with my Mesmer and passed it on my first try since... before Anime Expo.  Now I'm at Ring of Fire, and I failed it twice by myself.  I got about 3/4 of the way through on my second try when I died.  But hey, that's pretty far for doing it on my own, so I wasn't exactly disappointed about that.  I've been avoiding normal groups because I have other friends to play with.  I seem to be meeting a lot of people lately that play games like that (or rather, that particular game), which is strange.  Some of them, I've already known for a long time, but we never actually talked about any of this until a few months ago, and others until a few weeks ago.

Aside from that, my EverQuest 2 account should be ending in December.  I don't really play so much anymore as it is, but I had a lot of good memories with my main character (Ketsurui), and I'll be sad when she's gone.  I was planning on just crafting like mad for a bunch of old friends and such, and just giving things away to people I knew that still played, but I've been putting that off for a while.

As far as other games go, I've been wanting to play a game of Rise of Nations again.  I forgot how fun that game was, even by myself.  I was addicted to it for a while, and I'm surprised that I forgot I even had it still.  I never really took the time to play with Thrones & Patriots, but I thought I'd play a game of it soon.  Maybe I'll do that on Monday between classes.

I also realized that I haven't played a single first person shooter in a long, long time.  I miss those games (PC ones, I suck at console ones).  All I have that my computer will let me play is... Unreal Tournament 2004. XD  FEAR is kind of difficult. :(  I need more RAM and a new video card like mad if I want to play any of the new games that are coming out/have come out. XD  Like Company of Heroes.  I want to play that so bad, but my computer probably can't handle it.  I guess it'll just have to look like shit. XD

I have no idea where this post is going.  I just felt like talking about some games I forgot about and have been wanting to play again.  And now I am bored and will probably end up watching that episode of Byakuyakou I've been putting off all day.  Such a great series...
