Geek alert!!! and other random news

I'm totally digging this new game for XBox that's coming out on September 10th or so called, well...

( Fable )

As far as I can tell from the web pages and game sites I've perused, it's like a mixture of The Sims and RPGs like Morrowind. You start off as a young character and to do certain activities (I'm uncertain if there's questing involved or if your actions are left open) that the game keeps track of. The designers decided what good and evil deeds consist of and then your character grows up good, evil, or neutral. I'd think it's rather clear-cut that killing your wife would be construed as evil, while rescuing a farmer from a rampaging demon would be good...it's how the designers deal with people that rescue the farmer then steal his crops that has me wondering. Anywho, I'm so very very much looking forward to this thing, especially if the game is half as fun/eerie as this Flash app.

Here's the official site at XBox.com for those curious.

Thing is, school'll be in full swing by the time this comes out. And I don't feel like jousting with my brothers in order to get my play on. I hope this comes out for PC, in which case I'd be set.



My back hurts. And I'm tired. I need a nice cup of tea and a kick in the head. Sweet unconsciousness.
