hope is the thing with feathers

I haven't been writing (or posting here) because I've been so engrossed in Red Dead Redemption 2. The game is very... involved, and there are so many things to do and see. It's a HUGE game. I'm on Chapter 3.

So pretty much no writing is getting done at all. I've written 2k this month so far. That's it. /o\

I need an Arthur Morgan icon.

I finished ME3 and OMG. SOBBING. I sobbed through a lot of this game, actually. SHEP!!!!

I did this without the Mass Effect 3 Extended Cut so I'm pretty much a wreck. Now I just have to play the end again with the add-on so I can heal. I can heal from this, right?

No spoilers, but anyone attempting to finish the game should NOT play without the extended cut. This is my advice.

1. Finished the first play-through of Dragon Age 2 (as a female rogue) the other day, and now I'm playing again as a mage. Female, again. The face is the same except for the swipe of red across the nose that I had as a rogue. I don't know who to romance this time, but Anders is just so angsty and in need of romancing! (we lived happily ever after in the first play-through.) Maybe I'll choose Merrill this time. We'll see how the story goes.

2. I also downloaded the new Dragonborn DLC for Skyrim. I haven't played with it yet, except to start the main Dragonborn quest, which happens when ( spoiler -- stuff happens ).

3. I mostly got Dragon Age 2 and the new Skyrim content for the boys when they visit. I'm just ... testing it out. Okay? But now I'm broke again because downloading games and DLC costs money. :( I don't know where I'm going to get money for gas to drive to Gainesville in a couple of weeks.

4. I finished the big climactic action scene for Dragon Big Bang. It was more anxiety-producing than fun, and now I'm worried that I let everyone off the hook too easily. For a time I considered killing off Sheriff Stilinski, but dude, he's my favorite adult. (not counting Derek as an adult. He's got the whole arrested emotional development going on)

5. I really do say dude? Dude. Maybe Stiles is rubbing off on me.

6. I'm watching Labyrinth again today. AGAIN.
