I guess since I'm home and not really doing anything, I don't really have an excuse not to be updating this.
Got Logitechn 5.1 speakers for my rig! I couldn't find anywhere to put the two rear speakers, so I just mounted them on the top of my massive chair, so they are right there on either side of my head, pointing into my ears. Lots of testing with Lord of the Rings: FOTR, The Matrix, *gulp* Star Wars Episode 2, and other dvds that I didn't even know had 5.1. Morrowind, which has 5.1 support, sounds awesome on the speakers. I enjoy killing town people just to hear the guards rush up behind me on the rear speakers.
Speaking of Morrowind, I found this awesome scroll that lets you jump almost literally a mile into the air, letting you leap across several miles of terrain at once. The downside is that unless you land really high up, or land in water, then when you hit the ground you die instantly. I spent half the day plotting courses on the map, then attempting to leap into someone's fishpond, etc. "Weeeeeeeeeeeeeee!*thunk*"
Speaking of The Matrix, a bunch of us went to go see The Matrix Reloaded at an early showing Wednesday night at 10:00. The special effects were, of course, incredible, although I was dissapointed with the heavy use of CG. The story was confusing at best and just plain dumb at worst. It didn't flow very well, and the best I could manage after the "To Be Continued" was "huh?" I'm bitching and moaning now, but that doesn't mean I won't be right there to pick up my DVD copy hot off the press :)
Ahhh, I am being called for yet another nightly game of Diablo 2 with Karen, Mike, and Bryan. Catch you later.
Listening to: cool Diablo guitar music
