I bought Everquest II on Nov 9th, and upgrading my computer was definitely worth it. It’s a great game so far, much better than the first Everquest. Quests are actually easy to keep track of (relatively – with a full quest journal [50] things can be hard to find, but at least your progress on them is there). Plus other changes that I think make it more enjoyable. The game is playable on my current system, but I’ll be upgrading the RAM and CPU pretty soon, to make it even better. And I’ll consider getting an even better video card. Something current, and not a model previous to the top of the line like I usually and currently have. Still need a new monitor, though.

I was considering picking up an Xbox this week, but ended up getting a 3.2 cubic foot mini fridge instead. I think that’s mostly Everquest related, heh. It’s not good to have to go downstairs to get a drink or something to eat, while you’re in the middle of doing quests/fighting with some other people. Until I build myself a new desk – yes, I know I’ve been saying I was going to do that for a while, but some people would call me King Procrastination – I’ll have to not use my plastic shelving I had in that spot. Not much of a problem, since I moved most of the things on it elsewhere for now, but I don’t really have anywhere to put the shelf itself. So for the moment I actually have it on top of the fridge… I should take a picture, heh. But yeah, I’ll design a space for the fridge in the desk area thing I want to build. Shouldn’t be too difficult. I’ll have to keep in mind to have a space for a microwave and coffee pot, too. Yes, I don’t want to have to get up to use all of these things, what’s wrong with that? I’m being defensive because I can imagine what people reading this are thinking ;)

Next month – need to pick up some Christmas gifts for the family. I know what I’ll get my parents, but don’t know about my sister yet. I have to get her to make up a list of some things for me to choose from, and I think she wants me to do the same.

Now, to go play EQ2 for an hour or so before bed, since I was out most of the morning, or busy doing other things.
