by Steve Gibson, May 30, 2002 8:33am PDTWoohoo! Nothing like a late start to uh... start things late. I went to sleep at like 10pm and didnt bother to set the alarm, you know.. I guess you never know when you'll just suddenly sleep for 12hours straight. Guess I'm making up for those past few nights of 5-6hrs of sleep. Erm.. lets just get started.

Miller was less impressed with the Xbox and Playstation 2 games at the show. Even though the hardware of the Xbox is technically superior, Miller said, “So many of them look like they have been developed by PC developers”, While the PS2 also had a number of games that interested Miller, he said, “I think it looses out to GameCube.” As far as PC games, Miller said the only PC game he saw that made an impression on him was id Software’s Doom III, which he got to see during its appearance at the E3 conference event.
..which is why I bought a GameCube.. thank-you-very-much

So, for the first two weeks of morrowind I was hooked. I hadn't really played any games since last august and decided since I had the time it would be fun to try a game, so I chose the largest of them all.
First impressions were mixed. The game ran a lot slower than I was used to in an fps, interface was a little odd, and combat seemed boring. After giving it some time though I got used to the bad frame frates, interface and yes, even the combat.
For the next two weeks I played it almost non stop. I would wander around, find some quests, make some money and buy new equipment. Then I discovered something... the world was pretty damn dead.
Here I was with over about 1 million in gold, guild master of the morag tong, thieves guild, house hlaalu, and yet I had nothing to do. I wanted to avoid finishing the main quest so I left it half done, but now I realized the world was really dead. All of the quests consisted of your usual find this->bring or find person->kill. It was rare I ever got anything else.
You would think that me now being one of the most powerful men in morrowind I would have people approach me for jobs, or maybe I could sit in my stronghold and rake in some money from my mine, or perhaps even have enemies out to get me... but no. The only recognition I get is the odd person going "I feel I should know you", of course the person saying that is usually someone I'd talked to many times...
It seems like they focused too much on making the game big. The old quantity vs. quality problem. I wouldn't have minded the world being half the size if it meant I would have some effect on it. There are so many more things I wanted to do, buy a castle, rent mercenaries, attack other strongholds, buy up companies, start up some guild wars that I have control over, etc. Just seems like a shame.
Also, one final thing that bugs me is the loading times. Not only do they take a while but you get them every 5-10 seconds when running outside. I can understand why they're needed, but it doesn't stop them from being annoying.
Over all, the game was quite fun for 2 weeks so I would still recommend the purchase to anyone interested in a big rpg styled game, but not to anyone looking for something ground breaking.

Overly ambitious with my training, I weight trained my legs yesterday and an hour of cardio in the evening.
Today, knowing that my legs were fatigued from yesterdays workout. I went to the beach to do 50 yard sprints in the sand. After 15 minutes or so of stretching, I figured I was ready...
rather than start the running exercise with a jog, then into a sprint to warm up even more, I went balls out on the first run, near the end of the 50 yards, my hamstring seized.
Yep, I now am the proud owner of a pulled hamstring. FUCK! I really need to nurse this thing for the next week. If Tough Enough calls me and this thing is still hosed, I'm in trouble. I'm optimistic though. I know my body pretty well...I think I'll be fine..I hope

It'd be a media player, or a plugin for one, and instead of making a window, it integrates into your explorer shell (Something like the toolbars you can attach, like the Quick Launch bar and stuff), and gives you playback functionality there.
Anyone know of anything like that?
