Well, THAT was a long time...
Two days ago I managed to get 18WOS:AA. I must say this is a brilliant game, for those interested in them. Hardcore strategy snobbed-up players tend to diss these games for the tiniest imperfection like the cursor being a pixel short.
My sister recently bought The Sims Superstar. I played it on my comp too. It doesn't bring much new, as always with The Sims, but my sister couldn't get it to work on her computer, which made my dad have to let her use his comp.
----
It now seems that, in the game industry, besides the repetitiveness, there is also the lack of new "crushers". "Crushers" are what I refer to as big titles, like Microsoft's "Age Of Mythology" or "Final Fantasy [whatever]". It seems that we hit an airhole here, and I don't think we will see many titles in our Xmas pressies.
----
Also, another thing is that the situation on Iraq doesn't seem to be moving forward OR backwards... Bush makes a decision, then regrets it, makes another, gets vetoed, another, gets voted off... well, it's almost what's going on with the new games...
----
It also now seems that Europe is on a growing spree, trying ever to get more adherents, but the rich hardly-hear-anything countries still refuse the Euro, like the UK. WHAT FOR?? They will only have to call the coins by another name. PICKY PICKY PICKY.
----
Hope to update soon.

Hey.... hello...
This is the start of a new blog, the Electronic Rants (who knows it? who cares about it?).
---
I'd like to comment on just what several servers just plain suck. Here I am, trying to download Real GTA3, and Opera is giving me a time estimate of SEVEN HOURS at 3 KB/sec. And to think that just in the morning it gave me 30 mins MAX!!
Also, this September the 15th there's the coming out of a game I'm expecting, 18 Wheels of Steel Across America. If it doesn't get delayed, which normally happens to the danged developers developing useless developers.
My mind is giving me a low information status now, so I'll be back later.
