XBox poop
My "vacation" failed to start last week, since my main active client had a bunch of revisions for me to make, which didn't surprise me. The work I have done went live on Friday, so we are now done-done and I hope to do interesting things starting today. (The client's already started to make new sales via the software I wrote, which makes everyone feel good.)
First, though, I spent the weekend sick at home, playing video games. Saturday![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
classicaljunkie hung out and we played XBLA stuff together, and Sunday I spent alone playing Half Life 2, which is new to me. And, erm, I just played it all morning this morning, too. That's enough of that.
This is my first exposure to the current generation of digital gaming with a high-def display, sitting at the end of an intertube ready to pump more gamage at me whenever I wanted. I can see why someone could just sit and play forever. (Microsoft happily keeps your credit card info on-file after your first online purchase, so buying more downloadable gobbidge thereafter is as easy as pressing a button. They are bastards.)
I haven't played TF2 yet. I'm a little scared to. I had fun runnin around one of the maps alone just to check out the place.
The sickness was worrisome. After a month of masterful regularity, maybe the best I've ever had, I didn't go for five days and it was starting to hurt. Sunday I turned to a coordinated regimen of many things to get it all out, and it worked, and it was pretty awful. I am going to drink through this bottle of prune juice and hope that balance has been restored to the force. I have no idea what's going on.

I've got three cards on my account, two of which are no longer valid, but it keeps one of the invalid ones as the default... so half the time I go to add more points, I have a momentary "OMG what's wrong with my card?!" heart attack before remembering I need to pick the third one down.
At some point, we should arrange a TF2 night with friendly-type folks who are just there to have fun and know not of pwning n00bs. I know at least two other people who have the game and would love to play even teams.

I have Carc and Settlers, too, and would be up for some intenetty play whenever.
