Gaming ^.^

I've been sucked into the games with no escape till maybe spring??

Firstly - my playstation died and Aaron and I had to go get a new one.  It died about 2 or 3 weeks ago and we got a new one the next day.  It lasted a long time though... my model was the A01 model with many hours of gaming and movies and pretty much heavy constant usage since I got it so I can't complain about the life of the machine. :D  We are also going to try to fix it so we have two working machines; we bought a cable from the power to where the interface which has come in & a new power supply which we are still waiting to come in from Hong Kong.  But anyways a warning to anyone who uses a PS... the hard drive CANNOT go from one play station to the other as they are specifically coded to the particular PS3. So if there are any signs at all of yours dyeing back up your data... which is the main reason for trying to reanimate my old PS3 as it has all my PS2 saves & of course PS3 saves.

Dark Souls:
As my PS3 died I had to restart my game after about 20 hours into the game or so... I am playing the same character as before (caster + dex based fighter) and she kicks ass!  But I did start slightly different - started as a thief for the best gift in the game - master key - plus the poison/bleed resist armor.  The armor is also a billion times better looking than the sorceress  armor.
In my new game I am 52 hours into it and still completely addicted (Level 70).  52 hours does include my character standing doing nothing while I look stuff up on my comp... I'm currently going through the catacombs before I go into Sens Fortress - I still have to finish Demon Ruins area (I believe that is what it is called... the zone after Quesleg Domain anyway...).

SWTOR:
I got into the pressure test beta as I'm sure majority if not all the people signed up for the beta test did.  However because I live in the middle of freeking nowhere in the frozen tundra and I don't have high speed internet I couldn't friggen download the game in time to try it! >:(  Oh well - will get to play it in December.

Skyrim:
Amazing game!  I wanted to finish Dark Souls before I picked this game up... but then I heard how much Aaron and Roxy was enjoying it and said fuck it.  We went to Grande Prairie on Fri and picked up the game and I started after our DND session on Sat night.  I was planning to go to bed at a reasonable time... but every time I looked at the clock it was 1.5 - 3 hours later. XD   I stayed up till 5am, when to bed and woke up the next morning at 9:30am to start playing.  I stopped probably about 4pm though to take a brake and watch some Dexter as well as not successfully work on my alchemy at the same time as Dexter (Season 6 is awesome).  I'm level 7 or 8 and I'm making a similar character - sneeky light armor based with magic back up.  I think I'll stick with swords for the extra crit chance.  I'm also currently saving up for a house in the game. ^.^

Overall - playing on PC and it is an excellent game and very addicting!
