never much here, but here's what's taking up my time when i'm not working...

• plugins and apps you can fiddle with
• world of warcraft - screenshots
• DirectX - working through tom miller's excellent DirectX book.
• things that I'm waiting for:
  
  
• b.c. - sadly now cancelled.
• things I occasionaly play with:
  
  
• black and white ii
• halo ii
• x-plane
• ms flight sim
• things I have enjoyed playing with:
  
  
• unreal tournament - playing and building
• dungeon siege - building. this is all ds i and legends of aranna, not ds ii
• fable
• things that could have been better:
  
  
• freelancer:
  
  
• could have been more adaptive - if you went back to the earlier systems, the tasks were of the same complexity, ie four or five ships which were no match for your souped up craft.
• could have been more evenly paced - the last 5 levels just flew by in a hectic rush, after the more "gentle" pace of the first 8 or so - they had lots of opportunity for exploration, side missions etc.
  
• eve
  
  
• I was hoping this would be everything that freelancer wasn't. but it wasn't.
  

other things my computers are doing:

• looking for aliens
  
  
• my account

not sure what else i'm going to put here, so check back later...
