Blog of Doom

I admit it. Actually, it would be hard to hide it. I also promised Ash I would post about it. My online crack of choice is Neverwinter Nights. This game is actually pretty retro. A new version is supposed to be coming out, but I’m not sure if it will be there for Macs at any time.

Buuuut, back on topic. I play Neverwinter Nights. It is an online version of D&D and I just like it. I like the pen and paper roleplaying games, including D&D, and with the online game there are always people online. I play it in the evenings, sometimes until midnight. That’s not too good since I usually have work the next day and I have to get up at 6 a.m. I’ve been somewhat sleep deprived, but that’s how I do games.

Let me explain how I do computer games (I’ll explain boardgames or roleplaying games later). I buy the computer game (on a weekend if I’m lucky). I open the game, install it and start playing it. At 4 a.m. the next morning, I’m still playing it and Ash is smacking me on the head to go to bed. I get up at 6 or 7 a.m. (well, Morgan gets me up). I’m a zombie for the rest of the next day, but if I can, I’m playing the computer game most of that day and really really late that evening. If I have work the next day, I usually get to bed by 1 a.m.

After a while, one of two things happen:

1. I get sick of it. Something about the game just clicks off with me and I don’t want to play it any more.

2. I love it. I enjoy it so much that I play it a lot more. However, I dial it down to a reasonable level (mostly). Every once in a while, I get back into it big time, then dial it back again for while.

I’m getting into number two right now. I like this game and I’m starting to pull back from the insane amount I’ve been gaming. Yesterday, for example, I didn’t even get online. Oh wait, I did that one time, but only for a minute. For a while there, my brother was playing, but I guess he isn’t as into it as I am.

Sigh. It was nice playing online with him. We don’t get to do too much together any more. I hope he isn’t mad at me.
