Movies and CoV

Been passing some of the daytime hours lately watching movies with a friend. Odd thing to say, given that the friend is in another timezone, but it works out. Been fun, hadn't seen some fo the movies for a while, some I had never seen before ( though owned, don't ask. my dvd sorting method is poor. ).

Watched Ever After today. Hadn't seen that in a long long time. You've Got Mail a few days ago. Actually, can't think off hand of the entire list of movies we've watched. Also watched some of the Record of the Lodoss Wars and the third season of The Slayers.

Other then that... Drooling over CoV info still. City of Villains looks like a cooler game the more I hear about it. Really hoping that a lot of the little quality of life improvements, like shared mission completion ( 2 people have the same mission, they do one persons copy, both people can claim credit for it and both can advance their story-arcs from it ), will make it back into CoH.

Did the Synapse Task Force again last night. Long thing, but still fun. One of my favorites because I simply enjoy fighting Clockwork. Nice, simple, straightforward fights. Took my Ice/Ice blaster on it, was fun to have him out to play again too. Did take long enough that my back was hurting pretty bad by the end of it though.

Not much other news from my life then that. Scar still feels stiff and funny on my stomach. Ribs are still cracked and hurt when in chair for too long. Left hand still needs the splint most of the time and right hand still twinges with pain at weird times ( bruised but didn't break it ).

Yes...it has been wierd in CoH lately...really since sunday. It is like a ghost town. There might be 2 or 3 players from the Phalanx...1 or 2 from the knights...maybe 10 total for the night. Not a good sign really.

Yes, some of the CoV QoL things sound great and really should have been put in place since i3.

it took me 16 hours over dial up to download CoV...and the bloody thing still won't work....Grrr. Going to have to wait until the 31st when the Collector Edition comes in.

But, glad that you are feeling better and are now able to play and set up for longer periods of time now.

On dial-up also so... Yeah... I am pondering dragging my computer over to someone else's house with a cable modem to pull down the Issue 6 patch and possibly the CoV beta.

You ordered the Collector's Edition too? CoV geeks unite!

Actually, I think the nicest thing in it for me will be the artbook that is coming with it. Hoping that the artwork is decent and has concept art and sketches of the buildings and characters. Should be cool to look at.

Is it weird that one of things I'm most looking forward to when I come home is seeing all the neat stuff on CoV? I'll have to post my global there once I figure out what it is.

Still sharing the account with the roomie, but I think we can survive both using it. If you get him rather than me, you just get to know and play with a cool new guy!

P.S. I love Ever After. Love it. I'm such a girl.

Ever After was a sweet movie. Though I have to admit to liking You've Got Mail more. It is just more to my style of romanticism I guess, not that big into the fairy tale thing anymore.

Been there, done that, relationship went very sour in decidedly Arthurian ways which was quite ironic given our involvement in a medievel re-enactment group at the time.
