I popped by Sim Lim yesterday. I had time to kill, before meeting up for the usual Friday night All-Guys-Out night.
As usual, I headed for my game shop. It’s like a holy pilgrimage, I tell you. Everytime I step in there, I’m tempted left, right and centre. New games! New HOT games! All begging for my wallet to be opened, and my cash to fly right out.
I pored over the offerings, and my eyes fixed on the Tabula Rasa pre-order kit! Near to it, was the Expansion pack for Neverwinter Nights 2. Dammit!
Now, I’ve always said I’m gonna go play Tabula Rasa when it’s open for the public. Now, looking at my schedules, and also at my recent trend of playing games (more like NOT playing), I decided against Tabula Rasa for now. It wouldn’t do for me to call in sick to play Tabular Rasa right about now. Also, I remember my EQ2 guildmaster telling me, if I ever get onto Tabula Rasa, I am welcome to set up a branch of the guild there. So, should I? Hmmm… I’ve never liked being the boss anyway. I don’t know, I’ll have to sleep on it.
As for Neverwinter Nights 2, well… I haven’t seen many viable PWs (persistent worlds) pop up yet. For the benefit of those who do not know, PWs in NWN are almost like MMORPGs. A bunch of people, up to 64 I believe, converge on a server and go adventuring together. The server owner or admin will set up a whole world for the players to play. Think of it as a small-scale MMORPG, except that it’s free. Yeah, no money needed.
It was on a NWN (original NWN) PW that I met some really good friends. I still keep in contact with them via Xfire. One has gone off on to WoW and City of Villians, the other is stuck in Second Life.
Me? I’m stuck in my First Life – The Real World ™.
Work truly sucks.
