I'm feeling an urge to not play video games again for a little while. Probably not long, but still. Partly this is down to the fact my mum pointed out the recurring pain I have in my thumb might in fact be the beginnings of repetitive strain injury. Which was slightly buoyed up by the fact that when I was playing a game later that night (naturally), I did notice that the way I used the buttons made it worse. I blame Dragon Age 2 and the fact that, mostly, mashing the X button seemed to be the way to combat success. But still. And I think the other reason might be that I have been playing them SO HARD AND SO LONG lately. I've realised that I've now finished all of the big Bioware RPGs everyone's always talking about, once at least. Aside from the Star Wars one, but y'know, I never will. But aside from that, it was a project I started...quite a few months ago. Before Redemption. And I'm now finally up to date. And I did think the new Dragon Age game would be out later this year, but according to the preview they had the other day, apparently it will be Fall 2014. So I have a while before I have to get back into one again. Oh, and there's always the new Mass Effect game they'll apparently have coming out. Ahahahaha.
But yeah, I might take a break for a while. Bear in mind that when I say "a while", I probably mean "a week". And maybe even less than that. I HAVE SO MANY GAMES I DIDN'T PLAY OR FINISH WHILE I WAS PLAYING BIOWARE GAMES. And even more are either out or coming out in the next few months. But yeah. At the moment I've sort of had my fill for a while.
I don't regret getting into video games though, if only because now I get to hear and mostly understand all of the Xbox One drama.
In other news, I might have spent a little too much lately. Including today, on a beautiful silk scarf. I might have to curb that for a little while.
In more other news, I saw about twenty minutes of The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance yesterday, and I've decided I love Lee Marvin. So there's that.
And in further other news, the other day I came downstairs into the kitchen, looked over at the calendar, and saw my mother had written "THE DEED", all in capital letters, on the entry for the day before her birthday. She was working that day, so I got to be mildly perturbed all afternoon until she came home and I could ask her what 'the deed' was. It turns out it was actually a school trip to 'The Deep', in Hull, that she's going on with one of my nephews. And we laughed. Still. If you wanted to badly freak out any member of your family, or peer group, write THE DEED in huge letters on one of the days of your calendar, and invite them round, somewhere they'll be able to see it. I can almost guarantee it will give them some pause.
