Well, so much for my plans of working on the website design over the Thanksgiving weekend. On Friday, out of boredom and a need for a little bit of diversion, I fired up an old game – ‘Never Winter Nights’ by Bioware. Big mistake. Bioware hasn’t been the undisputed king of adventure games for the last 5 years without reason. I’m totally hooked on this game again.
It was long enough ago that I had last played it that while I do remember the basic overall plot of the story, I’ve forgotten most of the details, so even though I finished the game and did all the quests a couple years ago, it’s completely playable again now.
Meanwhile, Thanksgiving was nice, and now that it’s over, we move right into Christmas season. My next two weekends will be mostly shopping. I did manage to finish one thing though….I got my new Christmas music mix finished. I’ll post the mix contents in a bit…but I’m quite happy with it. Not a traditional Christmas mix at all. Very punk/alt-rock and most of it is what I would consider to be ‘Grinch’ songs….songs with a cynical or rather anti-christmas feel. I did throw in a few genuine ‘Christmas spirit’ types tunes to keep it from being overbearing though.
