Yeah, that's the one. So I'm guessing it's a decent game?

I never finished it, but it's on the 'to do' list. The game has some problems, though. The walking speed is maddeningly slow. Monsters aren't scaled to party level, so if you're getting your butt kicked...try a different area or dungeon. That's all I remember, YMMM, so give it a try!

I need to get some new games as well. I have not bought any for about a year. Trouble is that the local game shops are just full of Nintendo/PS/Wii stuff and nothing for PC's

It's a sad time when I can walk into 3 or 4 games shops and only see enough PC's games between them to fill a shoebox

However digital distibution isn't so bad.

Everytime Steam has a special, my wallet and free time weep for mercy

[T-D-C]

Yeah Grab them off steam or Aussiegamer has some good PC games stocked and pretty cheap as well.

Hey *B* good to see you around these parts.

I'll spare ya'll the complicated and painful details, but sufficed to say my family and I are going through the most challenging time in recent memory. All good thoughts and kind prayers sent our way are welcome.

[Bungleau]

Thanks for the welcome back, Chewie. Thoughts, prayers, and support over to you and yours.

[Chewbacca]

Thanks *B* When I am able to tell the tale, it is a whopper of epic proportions! Sufficed to say we are all safe now.

[Chewbacca]

Guys I was wrong about being safe and may have saved my Son's and other Childrens' lives today. It's not over yet and I am thankful for your prayers. At this point I'm going to spare ya'll the details until the books and movie.

Much Love!

Well, it's finally happened. Our landlord's patience has run out. And he's been extremely patient. He's reduced, yes that's right reduced, our rent by just shy of $200. And we've been three months behind for most of a year (it's been a tough year for music teaching (my dad) and job hunting(me)). Anywho yesterday my dad got an email from him saying we either needed to bring the account up to date in the next three days or he'd start the filing process for eviction. Close to $3k in 3 days is essentially impossible, so he was basically telling us he wanted us gone (I can't say I blame him, he does have to make a living afterall.) And he's given us til the end of next week to be all moved out.

We're going to move in with my sister for a little while we regain our financial bearings. My parents are hoping to save up to buy a house. I'll continue looking for work, I've got some promising possibilities, but nothing in terms of interviews yet. Anyways, I'm sure we'll come out on our feet one way or another.


Hope everything works out for you Chewie.
