My Eyes Hurt ...


By Stormblade - Posted on 19 February 2008

There are some things that shouldn't be put together for any length of time.

1) An obsessive-compulsive personality
2) A mindboggingly addictive video game
3) An enclosed space including an XBox, a monitor, a chair, a fridge and a toaster oven
4) A total lack of external commitments

What day is it again?

I got home Friday with the intention of playing a little Assassin's Creed before finishing up my last Dresden Files book and going to bed. My Dresden files book is still waiting. Basically, other than ingesting food of some sort or other, drinking massive amounts of soft drinks (no alcohol, it would impact my assassination ability - yes I am that obsessed!), sleeping (a little) and bathroom breaks (and yes Revek, I did shower), I played Assassin's Creed for three days straight. Somewhere in there (Friday or Saturday, I don't remember which) Coxxorz and Blackwalt dragged me away for a little Burnout, but other than that. Nothing but the game. I even passed on two apparently fantastic Habs games. I watched the highlights this morning.

The last time this happened was about six months ago with Overlord . This was worse. Somewhere around 2AM Sunday morning I had completed the game. Withdrawals threatened, but I realized that I had skipped some of the tougher quests in order to finish, so I went back to do them in order to up my score. That was done by sometime Sunday night/Monday morning. I then started going through the stupid side quests (flag finding mostly) that would up my score even more.

I would still be at it now if I didn't have to work. Trust me, I debated calling in sick.

But man, I am good at this now. I hold everyone in contempt. If an archer on the roof confronts me. I assassinate him. If a thug on the street says the wrong thing, I assassinate him. Heck, when I get bored I run around the rooftops and assassinate anyone I find for no good reason other than I can. Oh and those quests I thought were tough are now so easy I can complete them in less than half the time alloted to me. I am a shadow killer extraordinare.

Boohoohahahahahahahah!!!!!!

I think I need a life ...
