| It's five to six AM. I have to be at work at eleven. I have been installing patches for Asheron's Call 2 since four AM.
See... the servers come down sporadically. Oh and then it wanted me to install DX8.1 again, even though a previous install of Impossible Creatures gave me DX9 superpowers. IC does not use DX9 mind you, so far nothing does, but it felt the need to install it anyway. So I reinstalled it. cool. yay. more fun online, massivly multi-playing with fags. Whoops, no. It still will not launch because it says it can't find DirectX 8.1b or better. How about if I deselect full screen anti-aliasing? Ah yes, all better. I have a Radeon 9700 and DirectX9 and apparently there is support for full screen anti-aliasing, but not really. it's a gag see... well now at least i get to play. Not yet though, two hours (and seven minutes) later. This game was recommended to me by a friend whom I trust, and IC is not as engaging as I hoped (after the twin rapes of Warcraft III and Age of Mythology, RTS is not so seductive at present). I should have been home by two, sober enough by three and playing by four fifteen. it is now six My DSL line is drawing 23.14 kb/s from Microsoft's broke ass servers. 41% of 17,924k... I can't wait to actually log in and get my ass handed to me by a nine year old. or the janitor, or both. This is why I hate these games, right fucking here. Maybe I should have picked up SimCity 4 instead. No, forget I said that. Fuck I hope this game actually rocks. |
