Freelancer and X3
GOD DAMN MUSE MAKING ME WRITE INSTEAD OF WORKING arghargharghargh.
Anyways.
I'm reasonably certain that there is exactly one member of my flist who is going to have even passing knowledge of what I'm talking about here, so I'll be generous in the background.
( Click to see me geek out for like a page )
When I first got X3, I compared it and Freelancer thusly: Freelancer is like playing with a lego space shuttle, X3 is like playing with the real thing. Lately, I've felt like legos, and have started freelancer again. It is laughably simple compared to X3, but I've owned X3 so tremendously the only thing I really have left to do is start a new game and see if I can reach the apex of wealth and combat power faster. Or get X3: Terran Conflict, which is bigger and better still....which I may do when I have moneys again. Then, of course, there's EVE, which puts X3 to shame, but I'm resisting that until I have some kind of social life.
OK, that wraps up my random burst of writing. Now maybe my muse will shut up and let me get something DONE.
ETA: Aw, fft. Realized I no longer have a good excuse for not getting Terran Conflict, and I need to go shopping anyways. Oh yeah, now I'm gonna be REAL focused at work.
ETA 2: Aaand I asked the nearest Gamestop to hold on to Terran Conflict for me. I'm going to have to get everything remotely productive done before I dare go get it -_-;
