Don’t Worry – I’m Still Alive

but I’m just taking it easy for a bit.

The last couple of months have seen me experience my own, slightly less intense, version of a global financial crisis by getting hit by a massive and unexpected bill, which was compounded by the Aussie dollar falling through the floor like a chunk of superdense neutron star.

Adding to this was my bank somehow finding a way to increase my mortgage repayments despite the interest rate dropping by nearly two percent. And on Friday last, someone reversed out of ninety degree parking into my car as I was sitting at the lights. Doh!

This unfortunately has forced me to put my newborn freelancing business on hold, and head back into the world of nine to five and bosses.

It’s also completely demotivated me for anything outside of my new job that requires discipline (which, as we know, blogging does.)

I have been doing some gaming though. I’m still subscribed to Warhammer, but haven’t spent a lot of time over the last couple of weeks since I’ve been playing Fallout 3.

Speaking of Fallout 3. Excellent game. I was inclined previously not to play it because of the changes made due to Aussie censorship, but it turned out the change was very minor and didn’t affect gameplay in anyway.

I finished the game last night, did nearly all of the major quests (outside the main questline) and took the path of goodness and all things peachy with small arms and energy weapons. All up I reckon it took close to 40 hours to play through, but I didn’t visit a lot of locations.

I am tempted to go through again and play bad with big guns and explosives, but I might wait a while. I’m hearing good things about Fable 2, so I’m considering that. Or, I might hammer the Warhammer Online for a while. We’ll see.

In the meantime, I’ll be taking it easy for a bit. I will be posting, but not necessarily regularly. Christmas is coming up and the lead up to it can be a busy work time. I reckon I’ll be back to normal come the new year.
