That's right, it's all fixed up for the time being. Thanks to those of you who listened to me vent and spew forth nonsense. You are all my favorite. A nice talk and a few compromises fixed everything right up.
Now, onto the real blogging... I watched "Big Love" last night. I really think that I am over that show. Instead, I spent most of the show playing my new favorite game on yahoo games--"Chocolatier." In "Chocolatier" you are a--well, chocolatier--and you travel around the world finding recipes, sourcing ingredients, and selling your wares. It's actually a lot of fun, and highly playable for me, because it appeals to my love of systems (and chocolate.) Of course, after the one hour trial, you either have to buy it for $19.95 or play it in 5-minute "extended trials." I tried to buy, it but yahoo locked down on my credit card account for some reason, and I was so hooked I literally kept playing this game for two more hours, five minutes at a time.
After losing some ground in the first few "extended trials" I developed a plan for how to use my five minutes most effectively. There are some missions that are so time consuming (switching one of your factories to a new kind of chocolate, for example) that you can only really start them at the beginning of the time, or the clock will run out in the middle, and all your work will be lost. So, I worked on getting my factories setup at the top of the five minutes, and sourced ingredients at the end. I was getting quite a little system going, really.
Honestly this five minute extended trial has added a whole new dimension to the game for me. Now I'm not even sure I want to buy it, because only having five minutes at a time adds another level of challenge.
Anyway, I highly recommend "Chocolatier" for anyone who has a five minute attention span, and enjoys systems.
