Work is busy, becoming super-cereal office, with weekly meetings and schedules and everything. Very odd, as it's been so lackadaisical at times, but it's kinda refreshing, if more stressful. We got our internet back though, so that's a plus. :)

Not that lackadaisical. :/

EDIT : Though the sunshine does feel good.

A friend got me hooked on Europa Universalis IV recently, very good 4X (I think that's the right genre name) game. Now I've got, like, 5 different games going depending on which friends are online at the time. Very entertaining when Ireland manages to take over England (HA!), or Poland great pink blobs all of Russia. Now I just have to colonise America as Ireland and move my capital there. :D

She's the cool lady that draws this webcomic. Also used to play in my D&D group.

I read all of that after the last time you linked it. I did/am enjoying it. Give your friend random internet stranger compliments! :P :)

Getting painting done in the house at the moment, which will be nice when it's finished, but a bit of a bother until then. Particularly when dealing with cowboys. Sometimes price does reflect quality, unfortunately. Nothing that a little renegotiation won't fix though.

Reading all the people talk about Freddie's reminds me of my favourite (read: most sleep disrupting) internet trerror-fest, the SCP Foundation. Many weeks of sleep have been lost Keter class objects. I'm sure there's a word for enjoying terrifying yourself, but can't think of it.

Not that I actually like horror, I generally avoid it as best I can, due to the sleep wrecking effect it has on me. Heck, I wasn't even able to finish Dark Corners of the Earth 'cause I got too spooked. But whenever I visit the Foundation, I just can't stop myself reading. I think the host must be availing of one of their memetic objects...

Kidlet!:
And, of course, my favourite updates, my time with my little mouser. :) Had a great weekend with the little man last week, playing at the beach, splashing in the water, counting seashells (up to ten reliably now), generally getting him out in the good weather for as long as we could. He loves the fresh air and running around on the beach or in the fields. Brought a ball with us last time we went out and he went mental kicking it about and chasing it. He gets spooked if a plane or helicopter ever passes by, which happens often enough (rescue choppers mostly, with the sea so nearby), but I suppose he's just not used to it. I feel guilty that I enjoy when he runs over and tucks himself into me because I know it's that he's scared, but he's such an independent little guy, I like getting hugs from him. :P

It was the Easter weekend I had him for, a 4 day weekend here, and we made good use of the time. A friend of my mom (who had a son of the same name as mine about half a year after mine, without knowing about my own boy, funny the coincidences that happen :) ) gave us a Mickey Mouse egg, which came with a shape for pressing Mickey's face into toast. He was fascinated by seeing the face in his food, and wouldn't eat the toast. xD He scarfed down the whole egg though, which I suppose I should have seen coming but he usually doesn't eat much chocolate before getting bored of it. That's what I get for taking my eye off him after giving it to him. :P Other than that he got an egg from his grand-aunt and from me, which were rationed much better.

I'm scheduled to have him again this weekend, but with the work going on in the house, I wasn't happy I could house him. His Mom is being rather reasonable these days though, so there was no issue putting if off for a week. He's apparently got the chicken pox atm, so the journey would have been extra hard on him anyways, poor little dude. Better young than old though, they say, but I still hope he recovers quickly.

Those are the ones I know off the top of my head I'd possibly like and don't already have. I might add to the list when I get home and can see my full library.

I can't let a bundle pass, my combined collector/gamer/finance instincts just won't stand for it! :P

Ridiculous:
1,770 unique games, and playtime on only 150 of those. :P

Good picks. I'll send 'em on after work. And if you ever want a co-op partner for those games with it, feel free to give me a shout. :)

Ha! I got to favorite everything on the page before Tacticslion :-)

Either his kid has a cold or he's slipping in his old age, I hope it's the slipping one :-)

Even more impressive considering he lives in the eastern time zone, so he's got an hour's head start :-)

... I was dropping my kid off to school. :P

Also, sleeping before that, due to staying up waaaaayyyyy too late making a "new world"*, which is really more of a new creature with some background fluff that may or may not fit into any other setting (like the vaguely "anime-Euro-medieval" one I'm building in my head that's established a bit further north, hence relies on a few northern tropes). ((And which no one has read-and-commented on, so sad... ;P))

NICE! I LOVE the rain!

Also, a really good friend of mine was obsessed with Ingress for a while. If you really get into it, and you use it to go walking or biking or whatever, it's really quite good for you.

(I... I haven't.)

I might just take you up on the Steam, 'cause... holy cow, you've got, like, all the "things" that I missed when they were "things"! O.o

(I will likely only take a few, however...)

The wunian snow dance worked. We had between 4 and 6 inches when I looked out at 5 goddam 30 this morning (dogs. grrr.). Now it's very foggy because the air is not that cold. Very dangerous.

Steam keys? I created a Steam account recently because of Starbound. Which led to me buying new XCOM, Tomb Raider, and Torchlight II.

Oh, and just finished Tomb Raider... Like, an hour ago?

Great game. Shame it has low replay value. Also shame that there isn't another one.


Congrats!

LordSynos, could I get:

Steam Keys:

Warlock : Master of the Arcane (I am sucker for fantasy 4x strategies)
The Bureau : XCOM Declassified
Star Drive (ok, I am sucker for 4x strategies in general)
Star Ruler
Sid Meier's Civilization III Complete

Thank you!

It's a bit of fun alright, but it's tough as a low level player in an area already dominated by your "faction". There's nothing to do to level up. :P

Feel free! Many of these games have been on the list for years. I think many people feel bad about asking for things from it, coming off as greedy or somewhat, but I am offering, and they're sitting there doing no one any good otherwise. :)

Funny you should mention picking kids up from school :-)

Turns out it was early release today, my wife knew, the school knew, Captain Yesterday? No f@!!ing clue, which would be fine except I also switched phone numbers *sigh* so school had to call my wife at work to see if she could go home with her best friend.

So win-win for everyone.. except me, I look like an a*%$**~ :-)

So far, I've managed to grind out all of my dark elf mage's magic skills up to 100 in Skyrim, except for two. Anyone got any tips on maxing out Destruction and Restoration quickly?

I don't know of any exploits.

You could level Restoration by letting something weak attack you and just heal the damage without attacking back.

My Mage hit 100 Destruction first, so I never had to worry about raising it. You could just keep summoning creatures and killing them.
