A Minor Update

I beat Mass Effect 3. I’ll write more substantially on it. A small post about it has blown up and I don’t think I’ll have it done any time soon. Oh well. I’ve to start supper, as I forgot to do it earlier. Oops. Maybe I’ll post some more tonight, but more than likely it’ll be tomorrow. Until then.

A Very Long Weekend

I’ve got the next four days off from work. I go back to the shop on Tuesday. I’ll be glad to be off my feet for the entire time. My job really takes its toll on my feet and ankles. Probably because of my weight. Oh well.

What Has Happened Before Will Happen Again

This isn’t the post I originally wanted to post. I had intended wax poetic on the arc that EA has taken over the years and how Activision took their place. But yeah that’s not going to happen. Its all been said.

To sum up EA’s story arc: Evil=>Good=>Evil.

It’s just too much effort, and its a waste of my time. So the last thing I’ll say on this subject is this: EAs practices in the last year alone has been atrocious.

1. Steam removes select EA triple-A titles from online store due to breach of terms. Essentially, EA had attempted to cut Valve out of the monetary equation. When Valve refused to budge, they refused citing that it was just Valve picking on the little guy. This all happens around the same time EA is making a huge push for their online store which now conveniently is the only place to purchase these titles.
2. EA bans user on their forum, user is perma-banned from accessing their purchased EA titles. EA states that its a glitch. Its still going on to this day and EA refuses to comment.
3. EA makes a push for more online passes and project one dollar content. Codes expire within a year if not used.

They’re slowing becoming scumbags again. That is saddening.

Tedium

I’m completed wiped after a very hectic, and annoying day. Suffice to say I worked hard for my money. I came home to a complete utter mess and I put my head in my hands, and just sighed. Tomorrow I go to work, come home, clean, and then sit down and write. Sunday, more cleaning, and more writing. Monday, relaxation for the most part until I work in the evening, and then two days of rest.

Also, I apologise for missing a post yesterday. I came home and was in bed by 8:30pm. I’ve got no life.

Nothing To See Here, Move Along

Yet another lazy day, and it looks like yet another lazy week is in the pipeline. Other than work, I’ve got nothing to do this week. I think in my off time I’ll sleep or something. I just don’t know anymore.

Bored to Death

It doesn’t really feel like I have a life at the moment. I’m tired all the time and I’ve got nothing to do. I’m failing miserably at my monthly videogame challenge because I’m unable to motivate myself to play the game further. Life is just BLAH at the moment and I don’t know what to do anymore.

Yeah, I know this sounds like I’m depressed, and maybe I am, but I’ve also been known to be effected by the weather, and seeing as its been nothing but rain clouds and grey skies, I’m pretty positive that’s what’s going on with me at the moment. All I’ve got is time on my hands and I’ve got to figure out what to do with myself.

A Slow and Unexciting Week…

So I’ve already failed in what I’ve set out to do. When I started updating regularly at the beginning of September, I wrote that I would post no later than 3:00pm. As of this writing its now 5:19pm, and I’ve yet to post anything.For this I apologise.

Moving on, I’m still unsure what I should be writing every Tuesday and Thursday, but I’m starting to get some ideas on how to proceed. As you may have noticed the majority of my posts so far have been video game related. For the time being I will be continuing along those lines.

As a means to ensure regular content, next week I will be reintroducing my Monthly Video Game Challenge to the world. Tune in next week.

Who am I kidding, nobody reads this anyways.

A Tedious Post : Self-Improvement

As I will not be attending school this year and am currently unemployed, I’ve created this blog with the intention of improving myself and acquiring marketable skills. The goals I have for this blog for the remainder of 2011 are:

1. To post regularly from now until 1 January 2012,
2. Learn basic web design and graphic editing as a means to improve the look of the site,
3. Get people to actually read my blog, and…
4. Get out of this rut my life is currently in.

First, I will write a minimum of 200 words, twice a week, and have it uploaded to the my blog no later than 3pm.

Second, as you can see the current blog is as simple as it gets: No logo, no complicated backgrounds, just a single colour and text. Truthfully I like minimalist web design, but as I learn more about web design, I will slowly tweak the site to be more aesthetically appealing. But first I need a logo, and a better by line than what I currently got.

Third, I don’t know how I’ll get people to read this blog, but I’ll figure something out. Maybe I’ll actually open a Facebook and/or a Twitter account and try to get the word out. This doesn’t really concern me at this point as this is a personal project and I don’t really need validation from anyone else.

Lastly, if I can at least accomplish part of these goals, I’ll be able to finally get out of this rut. I’m tired of being bored.

Tune in next Tuesday for another exciting edition of RandyTheBlog. Have a good weekend!
