Thanks to hurricane season, my part of the world is getting a lot of gentle, polite rain. While it’s nice to see everything greening up after a near-drought, I can’t walk outside as often as I’d like, so I have to rely on my el cheapo treadmill, which is starting to show its el cheapness. But all that is incidental, except to demonstrate how many clauses I can load into the same sentence.
No, what matters is that I’m incredibly busy at school because of numerous unlooked-for changes, so this means that I haven’t even been able to log onto Steam for a few days. (I tried to insert a “Lucy and Ethel at the Candy Factory” image here, but things didn’t work out.) As a result, I’ve forgotten how to play Deus Ex: Mankind Divided and will probably have to restart it. But that’s not all. Bethesda decided to release Nuka World right in the middle of all this, and from various reports, it seems that this DLC is much better than Far Harbor. On top of this, what does Blizzard do? If you’re guessing they’ve released their Legion expansion for WoW and that it’s getting lots of favorable impressions, you’re right.
This always happens. These idiots let the summer drag by with lackluster (or no) releases, and then when I get busier than a one-legged lone survivor soccer mom in a raider ass-kicking contest (think Lucy image), they spew all their good content simultaneously. I don’t know when I’ll be able to devote any meaningful time to games, and if I do get time, I don’t know what to pick. I should go on with Deus Ex, but I’m really curious about Nuka World and WoW: Legion. I feel rather guilty about Deus Ex because ILA was kind enough to gift it to me, along with Nosferatu. Then, of course, I still have The Witcher 3 just sitting on the hard drive untouched.
I’m a terrible person with no right to play games.
Since when do you play WoW?

I’m pretty good at making entire pages one long sentence. Probably not correctly, but such is life. Like just now. Oh well.
One legged soccer mom is going in my repertoire. The kids of today will find it horribly offensive without having any ability to articulate why.
I played WoW quite a lot when it first came out. I’m sure I wouldn’t recognize it now.

The default FO4 lone survivor female model is very interesting to me. She looks like a real person — not exactly pretty. I’m not sure why they made her a mid-thirty-ordinary-suburbanite-something instead of an early-twenty-shampoo-model-elf-something. This is why I refer to her as a soccer mom. I guess I could refer to her as a late-starter, but she has that soccer mom look — like a self-sufficient PTA coupon-cutter instead of a parent-leeching arrested development case. I took a shine to her right away and didn’t try to change her look.
The default male lone survivor looks like nobody nowhere ever. I see that guy and think Generic Male Actor in a Lifetime Network Movie.

Oh great.
Now I see where Shadow Warrior 2 is coming out on Oct. 13. You get 10% off for pre-ordering, plus another 10% if you have Shadow Warrior 1. My expert math skills put that at $32.
Also, a new Path of Exile expansion is out. I think that’s their 829th expansion — all free all the time. I should get back into this game. Best F2P developers ever, but you have to stay logged in to Steam 24/7 for their constant patching — worse than Team Fortress 2.
