Defending Irresponsibility

It occurs to me that I have accomplished all of nothing since I got back to Colorado. I haven't done any work on my new RPG, nor have I written, or done anything. About the only thing I've managed to do is check my e-mail. And you know what? I don't care. I feel bad about it every now and then, but then I realize that the month of August is my only vacation, and once school starts on September 7th, my freetime will once again dissipate until Christmas-time. It's not that I lament my decision to take 3 semesters a year, but it is tiring. I suppose, sooner or later, I won't get summer vacation at all, and it will be rare that I have any days off, other than weekends (if that). So yeah, I can't do this forever. But you know what? I've been given the opportunity now, and I think it'd be silly to not enjoy it.

Gamer, or Blizzophile?

You know, it occurs to me that ever since I purchased StarCraft, my relationship with pretty much any game not made by Blizzard has been dwindling away. Like most people, I go through gaming phases, but ever since I found Blizzard, those phases have pretty much involved switching between games like StarCraft, Diablo II, WarCraft III, Diablo II, WarCraft III, StarCraft, ad infinitum. Of course, then Blizzard released World of WarCraft and sealed the deal completely.

Since I started attending DigiPen, it has bugged me a little. I feel like I should be playing other games. Maybe that's the case. But I need to be honest with myself. I like Blizzard games. I don't need or want anything else. So I can either feel guilty while the Battlefield 2's and Zelda's of the world pass me up, or I can just acknowledge that I am a Blizzophile.

If you need further proof, check out this. It's a template for my Eldre'thalas paladin's talents. I spent about 30 minutes last night making these for all my characters. The system itself is very cool to muck around with, but the fact that I now have 10 templates for 10 characters stocked away...well, like I said. I'm a Blizzophile.

It's like a special kind of nerd.
