grr!

Still no RSS feeds which is bloody annoying.  I’m tempted to insert them all into i-Google. I don’t want to because I like a one-stop shop for my entire news and friends, and LJ has been perfect for that, but if I’m not getting ANY feeds at all, it’s rather pointless.  Most of the feeds are publishers and agents, so I get itchy about missing news. And it’s been several days now.  I may just have missed the “I’m an agent looking for gay historicals.” Ha ha ha. Hollow laugh.

I could really do with a gay historical film reviewer over at Speak Its Name. Is anyone interested?  It doesn’t come with any perks at all, other than the exposure of writing on the blog, but if you’ve seen/got a good few films you’ve seen and would like to post some reviews of them, then let me know.

I’ve finished Assassin’s Creed (always type Quest instead of Creed for some reason, irritating fingers) aside from collecting the bazillion flags.  I’m thrilled enough to finish, I’m not a completist.  Now I’m getting back to Metal Gear 4 and Oblivion. 

Oblivion really frightens me. Not in a scary way, but it’s just SO huge. I’ve said before I’m not an experienced RPG player and I’m getting crushed under the weight of all the STUFF there is to do.  I’ve stopped the Kvatch quest, Martin will just have to wait until I’ve got some experience – I’m sure he’s not going to die just because I’m a bit late, and I’m wandering around Anvil. Can’t afford a bed, keep getting arrested for stealing, don’t know how to access the map of the nine temples I’m supposed to find, been told to find the thieves guild and that sounds like a fun thing to do, although I have no clue HOW, killed a woman’s rats and then was told I shouldn’t have done that—and I was sent to a pub to find some bloke called Galon and he’s NOT THERE. ARGH! I SUCK.

Metal Gear continues to be amazing. There’s one section where there’s a cut scene progressing the plot and you can move around wherever you want. In a cut scene.  My brain BOGGLES as to how that is done.

No other news, it’s a really gorgeous autumny day – delicious dripping trees, yellow and gold leaves and a leaden English sky.  If I had hot chocolate it would be perfect.
