    So here's the dealio: depression isn't fun. When I first heard of a person who had it, I laughed and thought he was being a bit of a ninny. As it turns out, it's something else entirely, and when your life so far has been a veritable trainwreck of bad decisions made by inexperience and apathy, you realize the hooks were already in deep before you truly began to realize what the nature of this

    No, I'm not dead. If you've not realized it yet, updates that take upwards of a month to do is a normal thing for me.

    S4: It Ain't Easy Being Breezies

    Better late than never!

    - Breezies. Tiny butterfly pony-people that speak a flargen-floogen language. This amuses me greatly, to the point where I believe this is the first episode in a long time that I went back to rewatch.
    - It's all Spike's fault, and he's still a doormat.

Tiberian Eclipse is proceeding along steadily. I ended today's session of writing at exactly 1,337 words (that's the total amount of words written thus far, all of which were from today). This chapter is looking to face some serious revision, as I'm cracking down heavy on continuity, but it will be completed first, so I have all of my general talking points for this chapter on the table. It's also quite difficult to try to get interchange on the pony-human dynamics into play, as a lot of concepts do involve knowledge that is beyond my scope (but nothing that can't be rectified with research). This includes things like mechanical engineering, cultural bases, military knowledge, etc. If you have applicable first-hand knowledge on air force organization (United States or otherwise), please contact me, as I have a few questions.

Guild Wars 2 took up a huge portion of my time last month during the Living Story events, but now that's all died down, the game has lost its luster quite a bit. I think ArenaNet had a good idea in mind when having down-level scaling for higher level players in zones so that any zone is an endgame zone, but due to the lack of player presence, it turns out that having endgame wherever you go sucks when there is literally no one else to do it with.

I also bought Diablo 3: Reaper of Souls. The latest fix to the game's drop system has made it enjoyable again, allowing for drops that actually feel like progressing in upgrades and presenting unique stats that encourage experimenting with various skill builds. I've been playing Crusader (spank and tank!) and it's straight down my alley, being able to suck up and deal out damage using skills that revolve around the use of shields and being outnumbered. This and Guild Wars 2 (and work, but that's boring to talk about) have been taking up nearly all of my time as of late.

Wolfenstein: The New Order also comes out in a few months. I am actually interested in writing a crossover for it.

That's all so far. Hope you all have a nice day/afternoon/evening, wherever you are.

P.S. Did Luna's voice get "normalized" in the latest episode, or is it just me?
