Suddenly, the pile of games I need to play seems so small.
As I wrote previously, I’ve been having some problems with Half-Life 2: Episode One. Attempting to update my graphics drivers resulted in problematicness which spread to Oblivion. Now it seems whatever texture quality I have selected in Oblivion, the textures will default to low quality. That means the normal maps are small too. Combine that with the insanely accurate light calculation in Oblivion, and suddenly everything looks smooth and slightly rubbery. A bit like Lego.

My mother has summoned from the Heavens the greatest frickin’ smoothie in the history of gastronomy. Behold its fruity visage!
okay, so it doesn’t look all that impressive. I assure you, it makes that up in taste. But you will never know, for this drink is mine… all mine.

So I bought Half-Life 2: Episode One last night. Ruben ranted on about how awesome it was, and the whole concept of working with Alyx throughout the episode appealed to me. Once he showed me the trailer, I was sold. I stayed up late to finish the download, but I ended up shutting down when it was about 90% done; yay for resumable downloads.
Anyway, today I kinda got out on the wrong side of the bed, as I slept in till half past 11 and was awoken by my mother expressing her annoyance with my lack of initiative. So I knew it was gonna be an interesting day. I was supposed to have gone and got my picture taken for my university card, but… well, as mentioned I was lacking the necessary initiative, so I skipped it. A bit stupid really.
