I’m OK, Just Behind
I’m still around, if anyone’s wondering. Last week’s delay wasn’t my situation, per se. A friend of mine has been floating around in a bad roomie situation lately, so I made a one-night reservation at a hotel nearby and went up to visit. It got her out of the house for one night to destress and get her head on straight.
That was the idea, at least. In the grand scheme of things, I know, one night isn’t much.
When I got back, I cancelled my preorders for Assassin’s Creed II and Settlers VII. In case you haven’t heard the news, Ubisoft has developed a copy-protection system that requires a continuous connection to their servers. As interesting as the games are, that kind of disconnection yoyo is more trouble than it’s worth, and I don’t trust Ubisoft to keep their servers online once the game stops selling. There are plenty of other games to keep me occupied, and even when there aren’t, I should spend more time writing. Even with the weekend out, I shouldn’t be this far behind.
After I make myself some lunch, I’ll go work on First and Last and Always again. We’ll see. Given the complications that keep coming up, I’m going to stop announcing specific posting days. Right now, all I’ll say is “soon”. Poke me and see what I’m up to; I’ve pretty much been asking for it.
Oh, good. I was actually about to e-mail you with a a friendly ‘you better be alive.’
I’m sorry about your friend…I hope things are getting better for her. But you’d be surprised at what one night can do for somebody in the long run.
Sucks to hear about Assassin’s Creed and stuff. I’ll have to let my B.I.L. know about it, he’s big on games like that. Seems like all the big companies are getting into stuff like that these days and while I understand aspects of it, it just seems like it ruins the games in the long run. Or at least makes them more of a headache than they have to be.
