Gen-Y time-wasters
May 26th, 2006 ~ Just a slice of heaven
Do you know how much technology had to come together so that someone could script a three-minute domino spill involving swords, elves and watermelons in the virtual world of Oblivion? Impressive. But, y’know, if you’re from this generation, don’t bother telling me how busy you are. Whoever made this movie could’ve valet-parked my car and bagged my groceries many times over in the time it took them to do this.
It’s got a soundtrack from Nirvana, so you’ll want to turn off your sound if you’re at work. (Hey, I remember day-job etiquette.)
Goes without saying Greg sent it to me. He sends all the interesting things.

Yeah, that was pretty darn cool, wasn’t it? I’m interested that the software exists to customize different modules of these games to that degree.

Which is something my husband and sons are conversant in. I didn’t realize it was part of a game…I’m more conversant in books and scrapbooking, I guess.

It’s VERY embarrassing, but I have gotten a little hooked on this game. But since I usually don’t play this kind with all the swordfighting, magic-fighting and every-other-kind fighting, Greg had to find me some cheat codes. Apparently, little girls in this world could beat me up, so I wasn’t making much progress. It’d probably be better if I did scrapbooking. (except for paper cuts. Ouch!)

Sean was able to tell me who made the game and what it was a sequel of. Boys!
