I'm really enjoying Fallout 3, but I'm getting a little sick of all the "your father is in another empty shell of a building!" gameplay. Maybe I could just find my father, and help him with whatever he's doing. Maybe that. Because it seems a little unrealistic for my character that she would hang out exploring places and doing big sidequests when she'd really want to be looking for him, and doesn't know if he's dead or anything. And that is what I'd like to do. In Morrowind, the first part of the main quest gives you a chance to go out, build a bit of a life, do some quests and build up your skills before you get started. Just one of the ways that Morrowind is best.

Also I'm still playing Silent Hill: Downpour, and I've managed to make some progress. Which is nice because - in contrast to Fallout 3 - the whole running aimlessly around town waiting for stuff to happen portion of events was getting kind of dull. But no, it turns out I'm just an idiot who doesn't notice things. I'm enjoying Silent Hill: Downpour, but I question their choice of having a black character in it called Howard Blackwood. And the way they may well be going for the 'disabled people are weird and terrifying' trope. They probably shouldn't do that. Also, if they're going to have their main character react to stuff happening around him, they should probably have him do it when it's appropriate. Rather than after something has already happened two or three times.

In soap news:

I don't care about Emmerdale if they're just going to have their stupid Laurel/Marlon storyline and their stupid Chas storyline, I don't care.

I hate Leanne in Coronation Street, and am glad she ended the episode on Monday crying about what a bitch she is.

I don't want to alarm anyone and I don't want to spoiler anyone, but I think it's only fair warning to say that the Sky TV guide is suggesting there's going to be at least one scene in Friday's episode that will have Tracy AND Leanne together in it.

I'm trying desperately to think of people in Coronation Street that I love at the moment, and I'm not really coming up with anything. Norris and Mary and Roy and Hayley, obviously. And David, but they're not really letting him be onscreen at the moment. Emmerdale is easy, because Val. But I don't care much for Emmerdale right now.

No. WHY WOULD THEY DO THAT? Unless one of them murders the other one, that would be fine if one of them was dead and one of them was in prison.

I DON'T KNOW. Maybe they've realised how unfair it is to inflict them on other characters. There's every chance one of them will kill the other, it seems to be how Tracy copes with things. And the show seems to find it quite funny now, so who knows? And then she can go to prison. But not a good prison. One that she can never get out of. One that's about to fall off a cliff maybe.
