Today is Halloween ... or is it Hellowin? either way...

I decided to continue playing Fallout4, as is.
Today I visited my grandmother, went to Mets Supermarket and bought some food/drinks.  As I was going to the pizzeria to get two slices of vegan pizza, with plastic bags, one of the customers said to me that she doesn't have any candy.  There were lots of kids walking on the streets with bags...coming into stores for candy...all dressed up as ghouls, goblins and scary monsters...I guess it's a blow to my ego:)  Or forewarning of crisis in mental healthcare of general population... Either way, my debts are covered and I am on a pay-as-you-go plan.

Life as Somewhat Expected

Well, I am continuing playing Fallout4, but without much enthusiasm.  The bugs are plenty: my computer shuts down every 15 to 45 minutes, some saves take me back to the first scene, with some tribal pack and no discovered map, sometimes I'm stuck between some cargo and boxes and can't move, occasionally I "melt/morph" with my accompanying characters into a one thing, and so on.  Of course, the frequent reboots is the most annoying issue.
Maybe it would be a better strategy to wait for a patch before continuing playing 15 to 20 minute intervals...?
By the way, STEAM updated Mafia II as I noticed... Update was downloaded and installed...did not help a bit, the game is still not playing: not even the titles.  For some reason it shows that I played almost half-an-hour in it...although I don't even know how the opening credits look like.
I guess I will try playing Fallout 4 again, but not today, because it's getting me aggravated instead of entertained.

humanity is pouring into one multicultural stream of... humanity

Playing Fallout New Vegas...so many bugs...had to restart certain missions many times...
The game, as expected, is AWESOME...however, these bugs...make it somewhat annoying at times...
But it's not like it's possible to find anything better at this time, so I guess I'll play slower and wait for a patch.
Visited a new store T.J.Max on Kings Highway and East 15th...VERY nice.  I liked cheap Mexican sweatshirts, but had no reason to buy them...unless I want to wear them inside, but I already have a sports house jacket or two.  Had A LOT of coffee today...going back from work put on some Reggie radio station, turned my heater on - almost felt asleep, found myself moving on a wrong side of one-way street.  Luckily it was quick and nothing happened.  Of course, I had to stop the car, get myself a Dunkin Donut coffee (iced), turn air conditioner on to continue moving.  Saturday I have to be somewhere where I have to be.  I gotta remember it.

Doubtful, yet excited

Well, the moment I've been waiting for has arrived: I received Fallout4:New Vegas.  I was very excited up until I saw the Steam Logo...  My joy has ended: now I have 50/50 chance I will play the game I really wanted to play.  It's downloading now...2 hours left...I will be very upset if it will repeat Mafia II fate.  If it will work, most likely I will spend the whole night on my computer...

That's my Exciting Life...mmmm





It was a calm day at work.  For lunch I had double yellow rice, potato knish, bagel with macaroni, mustard, margerine, tomatoes, lettuce and lots of coffee.  I also drank lime soda, something like Squirt.  I don't recall if I ate anything at home...since I was not doing too well in a computer game and was smoking excessively...
I've been playing Caesar IV all evening..Now I am tired.  I did not accomplish anything - Rome keeps sending their troops to dispose of me as governor.  I think my biggest problem is getting into too much debt...
A sad news - today I found out that Max Payne 3 was postponed AGAIN, till August of 2011.

I am currently playing Caesar IV.  Started from the very beginning.  I think I started playing a year ago, but another installment of STALKER came in and I did not continue playing it, since it was giving problems to my previous video card anyway.  Now it's good.  Nothing better to do anyway. 
Will come see grandmother today, then play Caesar IV till I get bored.  It's easy with that game.  Whatever keeps me sane in this world...

who coughed in my soup?

nothing to play at the moment

Ordered 4 whole wheat sandwiches with avocado, onions, mustard, lettuce and tomatoes and then decided to order a veggie burger with just tomatoes at local deli.  It was very tasty, plus I will have a great breakfast tomorrow.

Still undecided whether to replay Spore or start Borderlands all over, at the higher levels...  or maybe finish Tropico 3?  I will not finish Fear2... not now for sure, maybe later...  It's a long waiting time until FallOut 4...
