I really enjoyed watching it. They could have had less teen angst and more sleuthing, but it was still very enjoyable.<br /><br />cheers (post05)fairfaxxnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6162314467762792782.post-62146625320666402392011-01-02T16:12:58.663-05:002011-01-02T16:12:58.663-05:00I don't have a ton of uninterrupted time, no :...I don't have a ton of uninterrupted time, no :) , and that may well be the problem. I also have bad insomnia because of pain and depression issues, and I too find that after 11 PM is when I get the most "stuff done".<br /><br />I find that those games I get the most done in are those that are action-RPGs: Fallout 3, Two Worlds, the like. But they do all the hard stuff for you- mapping, journals, quests, everything. I just have to point my avatar for movement and smack the "hit monster with heavy piece of sharp metal" button :) <br /><br />Good work on your latest posts!williamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13165046805752023823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6162314467762792782.post-64566378344975351502011-01-02T12:27:54.637-05:002011-01-02T12:27:54.637-05:00That's where I got it, too.

I have trouble playing when just my wife is lurking around; hence, I do most of my playing and blogging in the middle of the night.CRPG Addicthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01238237377918550322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6162314467762792782.post-65349793836910524822011-01-02T12:12:38.051-05:002011-01-02T12:12:38.051-05:00Dt;Isc- found the game off the mutant bastard inbr...Dt;Isc- found the game off the mutant bastard inbred monstrosity that HOTUd has become.
