The years burn…

Alright, so, I’m bored and alone right now. Nearly all of my friends are out of town right now, either visiting family, or shopping. The few who aren’t are busy preparing to leave tomorrow. Usually on days like this, I’ll spend time with my parents, since I don’t often get to do that during the week. Unluckily, this is their day off, and they’re going out to a party with some friends, so, I’m left to find something else to do. It’s not like this hasn’t happened before, it’s just usually I have other places I turn to find someone to talk to, or something to do.

The first of these things is IRC. I hang out on DALnet with a few friends I’ve known online for years. They’re not a backup or contingency plan for if I have no one else to do anything with or talk to, and in no way do they take second place on my roster of people to talk to. In fact, there have been times when I’ve told Ben I was busy, and didn’t play a a game with him, ’cause I was chatting on the intarwebs. But, sadly, there’s no one online tonight. I have a backup for when this happens though, which is watching Chris Pirillo live, at http://live.pirillo.com , and talking to the people in the chat room there, as the antics of Chris Pirillo never get old. But of course, as luck would have it, he’s out on a date with his wife Ponzi, so there’s no one to talk to in that chat room either.

Sometimes I’ll hangout on freenode, and talk to people in #WordPress. But of course, it’s full of idlers right now. So, as I sit here, listening to The Smashing Pumpkins(a band I don’t necessarily like all that much, just three of their songs) I find myself with nothing to do, other than blog about it. How… teenaged angst/emo of me, eh?

One might suggest that I watch a movie to find something to do. Problem is, I’ve already watched three movies today. I saw Transformers this morning, watched Reign Over Me this evening with my parents, and watched a movie about farmers on –TBS– PeachtreeTV today, which really blew. One might then suggest that I read a book, but sadly, I’ve read everything I have right now. I’m just waiting for Halo: Contact Harvest and Assassin’s Creed: The Invisible Imam to be released, and then come in the mail.

One might also suggest that I play a game or something, seeing as I’m quite the gamer most often. But I’m gamed out right now. I spent nearly all of yesterday playing Team Fortress 2 with Ben and Quin. Seriously, like.. 6.5 hours of it in total, four of those in a row. I tried the Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock demo on my 360 the other day, and while I thought it was really cool, I’m not sure I’d be willing to buy it. $100 is a lot of cash for a game I might grow tired of quickly. Those two games alone have made me kind of tired of gaming, but to top it all off, I tried the Hellgate: London demo a few hours ago, which I found to be absolutely horrendously awful. I hated it with nearly every fibre of my being. People keep claiming it’s like Diablo II in a lot of ways, and while it is, it just.. bothers me. I don’t like the story, the gameplay, or the graphics.

The one thing I did like, however, was one of the quests in which you’re tasked with finding a young boy’s prosthetic leg. He decides to call himself Wart. Seriously. Wart’s leg? That’s awesome, as any Diablo fan will attest to. (I also like Wirt’s Third Leg in WoW, that’s awesome.)

Anyway, this post is getting long, and I have put quite a lot of effort into it, for what little I’ll get back. To sum it up, I’m bored, and I want someone to talk to, or something to do. I’ll just have to keep looking, but I’m even out of podcasts to watch. I’m bored bored bored bored bored, and if I don’t find something to do soon, I’m probably going to end up just eating and watching Seinfeld. Though with my luck, there won’t be anything on TV at all.

    I have no idea what you’re talking about…

    First of all, there are no links to any files to do with Age of Empires III on my site, as far as I know. Second of all, if there were, they wouldn’t have a trojan in them, as 1) I don’t think trojans have been written to infect savegame/replay files from such a singular game. 2) I’ve never had a full-blown trojan, only ever small tiny parts of it found by AVG before there was any problem at all. I take care of my computers, so… Good luck with whatever problem you’re having.
