Did I ever metion that I game too much?  Probably.

Well, I haven’t been doing that much lately.  I got into Elder Scrolls for a while but started moding the game more than really playing it.  Here’s a mod character model that I named Charle.  She’s made from a 3D face scan and then molded onto the 3D in-game model.  Lots of work, but lots of fun too…

Now, if I could just get some time to actually play. 

The latest game I’m flirting with is Medieval II: Total War – its an amazing strategy game where you can find yourself commanding litterally thousands of troops in a huge global war.  Quite intense!  Unfortunately, the multiplayer aspect of it is simply horrendous.  Every use GameSpy?  Don’t bother – its a piece o’ junk IMHO.  It won’t let me use my firewall for some reason.  I open the correct ports, etc. but still no game-lovin’.

That’s terrible as far as I’m concerned.  At a time where an unpatched XP machine can be taken over in less than 1 minute unprotected, not using a firewall  isn’t an option.  Besides, I have 6 PC’s and a Mac on my LAN all sharing my connection, so directly hooking up one of them to my broadband link isn’t really feasible anyway.

Oh well, I guess I’ll just have to read a book.
