Just because I am an addict doesn't mean I have a problem!
Published on February 19, 2006 By greywar In Gaming

     I was over browsing the EBGames site and swearing to myself that MS simply doesn't know how to manage gamers when it comes to the 360. I mean who the hell waits this long between game releases?

     Then my hypocrisy hit me full in the face as I was checking the ADOM site (again) in hopes of some small shred of an update from Thomas Biskup. He only keeps a few of his "blog" entries on the main page so the real story is in the version history. To make a long story short, I have been checking his site regularly without a version update of ADOM for 3 years and 3 months as of tomorrow!

 

     This actually eclipses my previous record of just over 3 years of slavish fanboy game following Master of Orion 3. I am so ashamed. Worse I know for a fact that I have recruited others into doing the same thing! It is like a masochistic-web-page-checking cult (Pseudo and Tal I apologize). The worst part of it all is that I can't even complain about the pacing since the game is free! AAAAARGHHHHHHH!!!!! Damn you Biskup/Satan... damn your eyes!

 

For those who misguidedly check my blog for actual personal news : EL just had shoulder surgery and is recovering slowly. I was offered a job with HypeCouncil but they wanted me to move to California so no dice there. Meh. I have a long rant about college in the offing. I promise to have it up at least before Thomas updates his site.

I hope EL gets well soon.

This reminds me, one time you came on my blog and was all like, "OMG A ADOM UPDATE!" but I didn't find it. What was that? Were you hallucinating? I spent hours going through the newsgroup ><

Hey, I need a roommate, so come to CA! Experiance the joys of communting to the Silicon Valley! The 8 lane interstate isn't packed going 15 mph from 6 to 10 every day, honest.

I totally check the adom site religiously...and worse... have managed to get the latest version running on a ti-89 titanium for boring classes... yeah...

MOO3 can suck my wang, and if you want some humor Steam Valves software distribution service has just "released" Space Empires IV deluxe on its servers for 19.95...

If you don't see or realize the humor in that know that the release date of Space Empires IV was 11/01/00... so many people were fooled (foolishly so) into thinking this was a new release to add to their collection.

Right now I claim the rights to fanboy for Fallout 3, and Duke Nukem Forever

Stop playing Galciv2 and post an update at least saying that you're playing Galciv2!

I think he is actually playing The Playboy Mansion: Private Party expansion.

Perhaps he has one browser window set on the ADOM site and continues to refresh in hopes of an update.

I must be a greywar fanboy because this is the first joeuser blog I check everyday after signing on my own, even though I know more likely than not, it is without an update.

chip - you ain't the only one. He's not the very first I check, and I don't check him every time, but... wishful thinking, eh?

Of course, now I'm off to read yours.
