Sim-ply occupied by a Longest Journey. And writing!

Hello all,

It has been pointed out to me (thanks Chat!) that I haven’t updated my blog in a while.

Dang it.

Anyway, I’m back.

The three main culprits of stealing my blogging time are as follows:

1. Sims 3. Yes, I love this game. Love it love it love it. So far, I’m only playing one Sim right now, an aspiring wannabe writer who cheated his way to a million simoleans, and killed a girl in his own house so that he could fulfill his goal of seeing a ghost. Oh, and it seems he has a kleptomaniac maid and a golddigging girlfriend.

After I mess this guy’s life up completely, I am going to create a family with me and Kathy and design a house for us, HGTV style.

And, maybe just for kicks, I’ll create a pro soccer player and see what the athlete’s career track is like.

Or acting.

Or culinary.

Or business…

You can see why this game takes up so much time.

2. The Longest Journey – I am also playing a 9 year olf adventure game that still beats the pants off most games released now. The Longest Journey is a point and click adventure in the style of the old Sierra and Lucasart games… but with an epic fantasy storyline. It really deserves its own blog post.

3. The Writing Project – I am also currently working on a super secret writing project that I’m not going to talk about until I can confirm whether it is a green or red light. Shhh. Be patient.

Also, I am reading Terry Brooks’ Landover series of novels. They’re an old cycle of books about a burnt out lawyer purchasing a magick kingdom. And they’re fun.
