What Has Your Week Consisted Of? A helpful Distraction.

[kasperbbs]

Nothing much really.. I have been on vacation for more than a month and i'm bored as hell, well i did some spending this past week, i bought new speakers and today i bought a new soundcard to compliment them, i guess i can say that all i did this past week was annoy my neighbours.

 

[Foolery]

Back at school. I've got a meeting today about transferring into a different program. Criminology to be specific. Other than that, getting to know my new roommate, raiding the community garden before it frosts, and some Final Fantasy XIV.

I've been preparing for my trip to Europe. I'm flying next Friday. It's the closest thing I've ever had to a business trip - I'm flying free of charge to Spain as a critic to cover the San Sebastián Film Fest, and the Biarritz Film Fest the week after (all expenses included!). A little nervous because I've never traveled alone such a great distance for such a long period of time, but happy with the increasingly expanding array of opportunities, work and otherwise. So it's been 7 days of preparations, celebrations and one-on-one goodbyes, mostly.

I've also been playing some Dead Space.

(Snip).

Do you even craft mines, or just cheat in the cobblestone? >.>

Spoiler: D:

I mine at the very bottom of the earth! Tunnels upon tunnels, leading through the darkness and fog that seeps through the bedrock.

 

[Someone Depressing]

The usual.

Work, crying over nothing because I'm a fucking mess, vidya gayms, and watching old horror movies like The Thing and The Amazing Melting Man because I've got a free schedule as of Thursday, and I've just made a large purchase on Amazon of comics, cardboard, and lampshades because the end if nigh, I tells ya.

Nothing special this week.

Ye gods, how do you even find your way back through the choking obsidian veil at the dark places of the earth? I'd assume that signposts just wouldn't cut it. Do you use some sort of coloured line or patterned wall design system to know what level you're on and which direction you're going in? o.o

I dug a 20x20 hole in the ground on a small island once, with a tiny, 1-tile-wide staircase that wound down inside the edges to the bedrock. Good gravy, months of potential studying went down the pisser on that one. O__O

Then I lost the save file, thus completing my magnum opus. A truly grand construction, we shall never see its like again.

I make one main tunnel and mine off smaller tunnels from it. Then I block off the smaller tunnels once I'm done using them. It's also how I explore abandoned mineshafts when I find them. (And those huge caves that split off in several ways). That way I know where I've been and don't end up going in circles.

Only downside is it takes a lot longer.

school, video games, sleep, school, video games, sleep.
thats generally my pattern, with occasional 3D modelling in the middle

 

[BathorysGraveland2]

Well I've finished school, yet because of my social anxiety I'm not really fit to go looking for work yet, so I have a shit tonne of time on my hands as you can imagine. Most of it is spent playing games, listening to music and, naturally, browsing the web aimlessly. Over the past week I've mostly just been playing Gothic 2: Night of the Raven, one of my favourite games. In between eating, sleeping and the occasional pornography consumption, that's mostly what's been occupying my time. It's a long as fuck game that demands a lot of time and effort to be invested into, so as you can guess, it gets pretty addicting.

On the weekend I'm going to see some bands play at a club with my friend, so that'll shake up this process quite a bit. Well needed, I might add.

 

[Rolaoi]

I worked a lot, about 49 hours in the past four work days. Not as bad as my worst week of over a 100 hours. I've been recovering from a broken foot and a cold which made things annoying; it's kept me from going out these past couple of weekends. Thankfully, I've got a reputation and a job which allows me a distinct lack of oversight. I spent a lot of my off time reading books and preparing to take exams which would give me college credits without having to pay the money or time to take the course. I'm working towards my associates now, and hope to switch over to a full college or university when I get out of the active military so I can study Naval Architecture.

As for video games, I've been playing through Cave Story again, and I'm playing through Metal Gear Solid in parallel to that.

Mostly just work, nothing too exciting. Went out Saturday night with my mates- Batman themed fancy dress and my Joker costume came together surprisingly well, bit of a messy night though. Spent all of Sunday wondering if I was about to die and had to, quite literally, crawl to the fridge. Oh, I bought Roller Coaster Tycoon and I've been having a massive nostalgia-fest too, it's awesome. Killed many, many people.

 

[TheMightyMeekling]

I went to School.

I attended a course for robotics.

I played Minecraft.

I will be attending another course. It's some Kind of Hands on economic class. It's called YES. No really.

I have also been wathcing a lot of YouTube Videos.

Nothing unusual.

Mostly working and College classes. I work at a local PBS station as a video editor and graphic designer. Hours are mostly random for work on a on-call basis. College classes are mostly in the mornings and nights are usually spent gaming or with my gf. I usually have busy weeks unless I get one of those god blessed weeks where I'm only required to work a few hours. If all goes according to plan, I will be able to save enough money after getting my degree and working for about 10 years to never have to work another day in my fucking life again. House is paid off and cars are paid off. I'm not wasting my life being a "benefit to society". Work enough to save enough money to never have to kiss someone's ass ever again.

 

[Shoggoth2588]

Mostly work...lemme see if I can compartmentalize this...today is Wednesday the 10th so from the 10th to the 3rd...

From the 3rd to the 5th I worked. I work in the back room of a Target and it takes me about 25-30 minutes to get there so I leave an hour before my shift just in case I hit traffic. When I inevitably get to work early, I spend my extra time in the break-room, playing on my 3DS. This past week, I've played Summer Arcade 92' Rekka and, The Mysterious Murasame Castle from the eShop. I tried to start a new Link Between Worlds campaign after beating NSMB2 again but hey...bullet Hell is calling to me. Anyway, work...ya know what, lets say that Work takes up a huge chunk of my day on the 3rd, 4th, 5th, 8th, 9th and, 10th. So with that out of the way, there was gaming. This weekend, I played through Hatsune Miku's Project Diva F on the PS3. I beat the game on normal, unlocking a bunch of trophies on the way. I still have to play through again on Hard and probably on Easy for even more trophies. I had to watch my nephew a bit on Sunday too which I would have rather not done.

In between my work hours this week, I didn't do much of anything exciting. A local book store had a sale on graphic novels so I got Kick-Ass volume 1 and, Marvel Universe vs The Avengers (which reads like 28 Days Later and focuses on Hawkeye). I finished the one but haven't started on Kick-Ass yet.

Last night I stayed up a bit late and caught up with a couple of my friends from back home. It was a really good time and help alleviate some stress and tension that I didn't realize had been building up within me. I miss my friends...otherwise that's about it. Work, food, sleep...gaming.

 

[Johnny Impact]

Work, work, and more work. I'm over 60 hours again this week. I got called in on what was supposed to be my one day off. Late summer/fall is the busy season so not only do I work more, I'm running my fucking ass off the whole time. By the time I get home I don't even have the energy to play games. I browse the forum here while listening to music until I get sleepy. It's a good thing I don't try to have a life because there's no way I ever could.

I'm just going to focus on the positives, since I really don't feel like discussing anything else:

- I've played Killing Floor and Majora's Mask again lately, along with the usual Hearthstone.

- I've reinstalled Fallout: New Vegas, and am preparing to begin work again on an old, yet extensive mod that I was working on a couple years back iirc. I'm most likely going to have to start the whole thing from scratch, but I did get permission from Josh Sawyer (a dev of the game who made his own mod after development ended) to mimic parts of his mod for compatibility purposes. Definitely makes things more encouraging, especially for it being my first mod. Even without that though, New Vegas is a fantastic game and I look forwards to playing it again.

- Been listening to a lot of music on Youtube lately, especially those from Metal Gear Rising. I want that game so fucking badly...

That's about it for me lately, at least in terms of the positives. Yeah, I haven't been in the best state of mind lately. Here's to hoping I can snap myself out of it sometime soon. Now back to browsing the Interwebz with Sweet Child of Mine playing in the background. XD

EDIT: Also have been watching Gurren Lagann off and on again lately. Really good show actually, and - along with Attack on Titan - pretty much brought me back into anime less than a year ago. Too bad Kill la Kill isn't anywhere near as good. >

 

[Padwolf]

I've been pretty busy this past week and past couple of weeks suprisingly. (Being unemployed, my weeks normally go by quick and all I do is job search and play games.

This week I've been packing as me and my boyfriend are moving into our own flat. I've been calling estate agent, calling up about referencing, calling up all sorts of places about jobs, about benefits that will give a boost until I do have a job. Been helping my boyfriend's dad pack up and been sorting through a load of his stuff since he is moving too.

I got a job interview (WOO FINALLY!) that's set for the 23rd though. I'm really excited about that. I'm sure I can get it! I finished work experience at a hospital in town. More and more packing happened. Then a movie night at my boyfriend's sisters house and that was a lot of fun.

Had food poisoning the other day, that was horridly nasty. Then my boyfriend had a friend over last night so we stayed up all night watching films and playing PS3 and random youtube videos and we had a takeaway and that was delicious. Had breakfast out with boyfriend's sister and that was nice.

Today... going out today and completing forms for moving. Should be a decent day I hope!

The corporation I rent my apartment from is doing maintenance and is planning to redo my toilet, bathroom and kitchen. At the same time. So, if I'm not at work I'm either picking out tiles, etcetera or packing up personal artifacts so that the before mentioned parts of my apartment are empty. Just when I was done moving in. Wish they considered this all a few months earlier.

The little bit of spare time left is devoted to Destiny and selling my console game collection. The last is turn out to be way too much of a hassle, but as it is, I've got way too little time to play on every platform, so selling it while its worth a reasonable penny seems like the best option. As for Destiny, only a few hours in and I still feel semi clueless on how a lot of it works. Did roll the wrong class though. Should've gone with Hunter, rather than Titan. Invisibility cloaks and swords. Yes, please.
