Mynxy Journal #1

Make it like a diary he says. I believe that the PC way of referring to it may be journal. But I don't know, I'll say journal. Try to make it about Vanguard - I barely know about Vanguard - I've wished so hard about Tabula Rasa but they keep pushing the opening back further and further. Maybe, sometime next year they say. Maybe, that's what they said last year. That's funny Mourning and Wishes disappeared after pushing back stuff... Granted they have done an awful lot of work on the game it just seems to be changing the focus. It looks really good! Speaking of looking good, wonder what Arnie looks like? Sorry - I digress.

I have played all of the pre-online Ultima games. I started to work, teach on the side and went back to school, didn't have the money to pay the online fees. Anyway - I followed RG to his new game. I figured that he hadn't done me wrong (all those long hours using my Commodore 64), so I should follow the chief into a new battle. I started WWIII one day on the discussion boards -me and maudin agreed that the game seems to be focusing differently than we had hoped that it would. I backed off the argument, (its amazing how nice migraine medicine lets you behave before going to sleep) and agreed that I would withhold comment and monitor the games' development progress. Well lately, I am doing a lot less looking at TR.

I wanted to find another beta so I kept checking the beta test center. I keep waiting for dragonshard beta just to get into another beta. That's how I found out about Vanguard. And now that I've read more about this game I can barely wait for the beta and the game to start. It takes all that I can muster to keep from asking Arnie about sliding me into the beta. But I'm a big girl and I won't whine, stomp or cry 'sniff'. That's what I forgot to mention I am a 48 year old woman who according to my 24 year old son "is older than dirt". I'm not sure that he'll make 25 (he may have a nice trip down the stairs after I ram him with my walker). Ha, ha, ha - you can't find me or him, and he's toast hee, hee. I don't know what screen name he's using this week darn it. Even Arnie doesn't know where he lives, does he?

Berek Halfhand weekly discussion #9. Please don't cry the sunset is beautiful. Why isn't there more conversation on the boards? Maybe I'm looking in the wrong places. I'll keep looking around and decide what race to play. Perhaps I should talk about some ones mama for discussion purposes. Nah, I don't know anyone.

WOW, look at the conversations that are taking place on the boards. I WAS in the wrong place. There is a big one posted first by ARADUNE, etc. Wonder where these people get these kinda names. How do they pronounce the names to themselves - for that matter an author- . Maybe some kind of pronunciation guide should be submitted when registering. He/she might be some kind of big wig so I'd better say nice things - I'm so glad that I am writing this to myself.

Wants the game to follow the grouping strategy to ensure a long lasting game. Make long lasting friends. Yeah I bet, long lasting friends who pay all of that money monthly. Wonder if they would consider a Guild Wars kind of thing. Pay for the game and play for free. Yes the battles might go easier and because of battle wins would level quicker. But is the thrill still there. Or would I have to play with a "ball hog". What fun is it to watch someone else get the credit for killing something that I have already been beating on for five minutes.

Soloing is my cup of tea. If I die I die. But if I kill I get the goodies. I run into difficulty when I need to do two things at once.
