Someone pointed out that it has been a while since the last patch. I'm starting to feel withdrawal symptoms, I think. I build surveys and stalk the forums to bide the time. But it isn't enough! I need more! I need new features to critique! I need new excuses for killing Nihimon! I need! I NEED! AHAGHGHAAHGDHAHSGHAGHAHGASGKag;ajlgag;ajg.a......

In between patches, I've been trying out new MMOs or revisiting old ones. I've been particularly interested in searching for various grass models.
Rejoined Eve-online after a 2 year absence.
NaNoWriMo. Writing 1800 words every day and hoping I get to the target 50k before EE actually releases.
I think that is the coolest by far.

I'm writing a web tool to digest the GW raw spreadsheets and create plans and costs (xp, time, items, achievements, feats, recipes, ability scores, etc) for any goal (item, feat) given a store of current stuff (feats, xp, items). Plus a UI to navigate the OR clauses.
It's very much like two or three other tools out there already (but not exactly). One big difference is that this one is web based. And I'm working on it more for fun than to fill a gap - though I hope it will do that too for some folks.
It keeps me busy and excited while waiting for EE. That and compulsive lurking on these forums... :)
Actually working on my 'to edit' pile...87Gb...
I held off on DA Inquisition to help fill the gift list. I'm played out on everything else I have (yep, even Oblivion, Skyrim, and Fallout). This EE hold is forcing me to be slightly productive. Not good.
C'mon GW, help a brother out. I know you're holdin'. Just one patch to get me through to EE. Just one patch... (trails off into unmentionable Chris Rock joke)

Been v busy.
But probably have a secret addiction to fifa on the iOS. Manage short games but strive for perfection each time!
There's some vs/multiplayer/coop type games I want to grab shortly eg towerfall, nidhogg, gang beasts etc. These sort of local party games are very rewarding if enough people are around. Hopefully for xmas!

They're accepting 50k as a novel now? go for 90K, Urman. Even 90K is a very slim volume.
IMO the best thing to do is let the story dictate its length, whether short story, novella, or novel. A tale should be no longer, but no shorter, than it takes to tell.

I went ahead and installed DDO on my new computer last night. I hadn't played in at least five or six years. My characters were still there, once I found the right server.
This game is definitely showing its age. Except for Pyro's Grass and character faces, PFO already has better graphics, in my opinion.
The free-to-start, expensive-to-keep-playing vibe was very strong, with many races, a few classes, and most adventures locked behind pay walls. I know PFO wants to give whales the opportunity to spend freely, but I hope PFO microtransactions never reach this level.
I expect I'll probably uninstall DDO before EE.
