It's Been a Month!?!

Since the last time I blogged I gave up on San Andreas. I bought the airfield and did most of the missions for Wu Zi, but the missions at the airfield for Toreno are a bitch (belated spoiler warning) and it started feeling like work. I did tie up a lot of loose ends and customized my cars (a silver bullet - not to be confused with the vibrator, a blue Banshee with a white race stripe, the yellow Infernus - more of an orange but close, a bright red Cheetah, a jet black Turismo, and a white Comet) that I keep in the garage in Doherty and the safe house with the big garage around the corner and down the street in Hashbury. Does knowing directions between any two major locations mean I've been playing too much?

I installed Windows on my old 333 so I could study security and it took three hours, not including tweaking and installing IIS and other imortant software. The problem was that I couldn't get my mouse installed without installing a ton of other (non related) software. Then I was playing around with some NTFS tools that I never used before and scratched the whole installation, so now I have to do it again, but I can't get the GeForce driver installed. I'm still working on it between some games I've been playing.

EDIT: I installed an older version of the Geforce driver and now Windows blue screens at boot. It could also be that I installed more than one driver before rebooting. @.@

Might & Magic 6 has been consuming a lot of my life. I recently created a party with 2 clerics flanked by 2 sorcerers. I maxed out their Endurance stat (to give them a ton of health) and Intelect/Personality (to give them a lot of magic points) and let the rest of the attributes slide. Who needs luck, speed, and accuracy when you have fireballs and spirit arrows? In all fairness, I did buy the entire party a bow because MP runs out pretty fast when everyone is casting both offensive and protective (or ability) spells.

I've been meaning to write a short script to film when all of my friends come back home (which they all happen to be doing at the same time), I just haven't told any of them yet. The problem is that I have no idea what I want to make the short film about. I was thinking piracy, video game violence, or something nerdy, but a lot of my friends aren't into that kind of thing. Maybe I'll make another cliched, melodramatic, nameless romance that I'll never finish? Either that or a sci-fi flick. I love me some sci-fi.
