w00t!1 I finally pulled enough money out of my ass to go get a Razer Lachesis. Even though it doesn't have a frictionless, hyper-scroll function like my MX Revolution, the Lachesis' superior gaming-aware hardware makes it a much better companion when I'm fragging. I'm loving my Lachesis! =]

This fan-made Age of Conan video made me laugh my ass off! I can't believe that I'm missing all of this, and more, damned fun because I'm not old enough to sustain the monthly fee... Dammit!

Having been revitalized by reading Hellgate: London - Goetia, I'm back in the mood of demonslaying and will be online on the Hellgate: London Shulgoth server.

I've just finished reading "Hellgate: London - Goetia" by Mel Odom last week and I was more than satisfied. I've played the video game, Hellgate: London, before so that may have made me especially attracted to it. Everything I read was vivid in my mind -once again, this may have been from playing Hellgate London- and it left off with that guy-and-girl-get-together ending. However, somewhere in the middle, I had read that a certain character from Hellgate: London was still alive; the character should have died, but it makes a part of the video game less dramatic now that I know that the character lived. It wasn't the end of the trilogy though, since none of the characters have accomplished their own ultimate goals. I immediately set off to look for Exodus, the prequel to Goetia and first in the trilogy, but neither the Bella Terra or Metro Pointe Barnes and Noble Bookstores had them in stock so I had to place an order for the book to ship in.

While I'm waiting for Exodus to arrive at the B&N store pickup, I'll be reading "The Last Wish", the book that inspired the video game known as "The Witcher". While I'm not as emotionally attached to "The Last Wish" as I was to the trilogy based on Hellgate: London, it's still a neat book and I can see how it motivated an entire game studio to turn the text into a video game.
