OK, summer's here, today anyway, weather is horrible in the spring, it's like some evil spirit is waving the sun and warmth on a string and pulls it away just as you're getting to enjoy it, but now finally it seems they're bored with the game and we get to sit in the sun and sneeze... stupid allergies!
Haven't had time to update or write at all, but I have a bunch of pictures for the next chapter lying around, at least I'm no Blizzard fan so I doubt I'll be getting sucked into DiabloIII, looks so boring from the gameplay vids, I'm sure the story is great, but I don't like the look of it at all, though all my fellow students are going wild.
Anyways, I'll try to keep my writing alive, but my brand new graphics card is having issues so gaming is slow, also new my new headset was broken and the store suddenly decided to drop the product... I'd get it if I was buying cheap crap, but I am buying expensive crap here, it should at least work until I break it!!

No, no, no, time it goes too fast!!
These last months have flown by, much, much too fast. It's already New Year's Eve, it can't be! I'm not ready to write 2012 instead of 2011, heck I still write 2010 occasionally!! Ah well, c'est la vie, but I still feel like someone turned my life up to speed three and forgot about it.
For awhile I've been having computer issues, crashes and refusing to start for hours, I thought it might be the graphics card failing and a week before Christmas the whole thing died on me. Turned out I was right and I went out and bought a new one, which would have been great if the PSU hadn't been too weak to handle it... yeah, didn't think to check that first.
It's now finally running smoothly again, but I've been without a computer for the entire holidays and haven't been able to play The Sims 3 or try any of the games I got for Christmas.
Well, New Year's Eve is for New Year's Resolutions so let's make one to actually manage my time in a better way than I am currently.

Augh!!
So, it seems EA borked almost all CC with the newest patch and Pets, which well, was to be expected I suppose, they did have to change a lot of coding to enable all objects for the animals. I don't think people are right to shout and cry about EA being villains because of it, of all games I've played The Sims is by far the one that is most open to modding. Still, I do think they might've been fair to give like a head's up a few months ago.
Well, I've been working on the story, but progress is slow, university is taking up a lot of time, I'd forgotten how much effort studies take. I did ace my first exam on computer game history and genres, this next one is harder though, computer systems, stuff like binary code and assembly language, which is cool and all, but I doubt I'll ever use it again.

Popping In
Anybody else hate the new blogger interface? Looks so cheap and impersonal. Had it looked like that when I signed up I wouldn't have signed up at all.
Anyways, have been busy, I'm working with a program called Multimedia Fusion 2 for my university course right now, it's so much fun. Very easy, but I wish we had more than two weeks to actually make a game with it because I know I could make something cool with it.
I'm waiting desperately for the Pets expansion, but promise to have another update soon. It's just that my mind is also kicking me to write a gritty sci-fi-ish story, with lots of sex and violence, probably because I found so many downloads that would look so cool, but wouldn't fit in my current story world.

Life Changes
I'm making some big changes in my life right now. I'll be taking a leave from my current job and starting a university course in computer game design. It feels kind of like I'm going sky diving. My nerves are ice skating on a roller coaster, but I'd regret it forever if I didn't take the leap now.
I have no idea how much time I'll have to do things other than study, but hopefully I'll be able to organize my hours so I'll have time to both study games and play them.
As for writing I write when I can, when I'm up for it etc. I have the next chapter in the works, I had meant to write more during my summer vacation, but things came up as they're wont to do. But it's getting there. I've been taking a lot of pictures for the next chater and some for other uses. Here's a newer version of Darcy's photograph of herself and her parents which is mentioned in chapter 2.

Story Update: The End of the World Ch.3 A Night Adrift
OK, it's not technically Sunday anymore where I live, but I'm pretty sure it's Sunday somewhere in the world and that's good enough for me.
Finally, after a very long, quite unplanned hiatus, we finally get to see where Darcy's got off to.

Almost There
Well, this chapter is taking quite some time, real life has been sucking all life out of me lately. I've been absolutely sick and tired of everything and hopefully I'll get into the university course I've applied to so I can do something else for awhile.
The pictures are all done, and the chapter is finished in my head now, so hopefully after the Midsummer holidays I'll be done and my goal is to have the next chapter up on Sunday.
