Huh. Bought the Witcher 2 this afternoon, but the damn thing won't install. Getting the following message after the install bar sits at around 2% for five minutes or so:

Feature Transfer Error
Feature: Required Files
Component: Data
File: E:\data2.cab
Error: Data error (cyclic redundancy check).

Anybody who knows anything about computers have a clue as to what's going on, here?

Double-ha. Spoke too soon. Computer is still finicky, and I continue to be unable to play. FML.

Ha. And after my sad little post, I now return with a computer that is functional once more! So, um. If it's not obnoxious or precluded by Bard having dropped out, I'm once more ready and eager to be in the game. If you've already shuffled things around, though Alex, I'll sit on the sidelines and spectate.

Also going to need to bow out, I fear. Am suddenly having computer troubles with no easily apparent end in sight; I can't consistently promise computer time for more than a half hour or so per day, it is extremely obnoxious. Especially frustrating because I have so much more free time now than I have had in the past two months. Sigh. Enjoy the game, all.

Fallout: NV - Found and dealt with good ol' Benny. Love that jacket. And now the game seems to have sort of exploded outwards; I have a million possible quests, and can sort of see what the endgame's going to be. Except I have no idea which way I want to go about finishing things. So between that and the general lameness of the gameplay (for all that it's certainly better than FO3), I've sort of lost a good deal of my momentum. Which has led to me re-playing a little bit of...

Arcanum - Woohoo! Playing this for the first time in a couple of years. That playthrough (my first), I was a surly Dwarf Technician. This time I'm a very charismatic, dexterous Gnome eschewing both magic and tech and specializing in Persuasion and the thiefly skills. Thus far I've completed most of the quests available in Tarant on your first visit, and am about to go visit Gilbert Bates. Tagging along with me are Virgil, Magnus, Gar and Vollinger. I love this game.

I miss you too, Gref. C'mon, let's hug it out.

DA: Origins; Awakening - Also played this recently. Did anyone else, around these parts? A pretty entertaining way to spend ~15 hours, but not the most entertaining. Played through on Nightmare with my imported Dwarf Rogue, and destroyed basically everything without breaking a sweat. One exception was the final boss, which caught me a bit off guard by killing the rest of my party in twenty seconds. Then my Dwarf soloed it. Woohoo for rogues.

It would be a significantly better game if more care had been taken with your party members. They were pretty uniformly boring. Story was also not much to speak of, but: Bioware. I'm used to getting some good characters from those guys, at least. I liked the Architect, though?

New Vegas - Have started up a character, but haven't had much time to play thus far. Am bumming around Goodsprings getting to know people and deciding how to handle this Ringo situation.

Tagged Science, Repair, and Speech to start. Chosen traits were Good Natured and Four-Eyes. Upon hitting Level 2, I chose Confirmed Bachelor.

I'm having fun with this character already.

I also played Katamari Damacy for the first time this week. What is wrong with me?

That you're not still playing?

In my defense, I woke up this morning and the first thing I did was re-complete the Moon level in under 20 minutes while making an 800m katamari. So... yeah.
