Hey - Hows things been?

Post by Curlypaul »

Hey, I've not been here a lot lately hows things been?

I started lurking again a couple of weeks ago when a thread of mine got bumped and set me thinking. I've not been around much because gaming has taken a back seat for a while lately. The reason for this is that I started playing Grepolis last year, it consumed every waking minute and burnt me out.

In response I've been spending more of my 'me' time playing guitar, enjoying films and even reading an odd book.

I've found that a bit of diversity in my hobbies has really helped lift me up and keep me interested in life again. Was getting a bit down at the start of this year tbh.

In terms of gaming, I've been playing a lot of the free games that M$ have been giving away. Dead Rising 2 was great, Fable was OK and Ass Creed 2 was awesome (apart from those feathers, they cost me a lot of precious sleep lol). I still have some titles to play yet.

So, have a I missed any great forum dramas?

BurningDoom hates people that don't like the Deftones, the forum is staunchly divided on the issue of government assistance, and i got a free xbox yesterday.

that's my summary, but i only read like, 10% of the threads on this mug.

does this count as drama?

Film addict Michi is making an amateur movie with his friends Stark and mjmjr25 when filming is interrupted by the arrival of aaron, the beautiful granddaughter of Michi's next-door neighbour. Stark develops a crush on dsheinem, an older woman he meets at the video shop, but is stunned to discover that she is his new English teacher. As the friends begin high school together, mjmjr25 discovers Michi's mother, Luke, is having an affair, a fact that neither Michi or his father, pierrot, know.

Thanks for spoiling the plot for my fan-fiction Persona drama.

i'd like to think that picture of me in my underwear is what landed me the role of "beautiful granddaughter."
