Severance

Ok, this is my first post, so I'll get started.
Been without an internet connection at home for the past week now so I am forced to do this during my study period today.
Without the internet, my ability to game has been severely curtailed; I am a social person (many of the games I play on the internet, I play them mainly because I have friends who play too) so 70% of my library of games has been neutralised for now. I settle for UFO:TTS (UFO: The Two Sides), a remake of the first game in the X-Com Series (arguably the best ever game ever made ever). It rocks, I'll just say that for now and come back to it later. If anyone at all happens to read this, you can download it here for free: http://ufotts.ninex.info/ , though some of the sprites are missing so you might want to get hold of the original game files and use the extractor that comes with it on them (or you will get big black or pink squares in the place of some of the sprites).

I have also been indulging in The Movies, which I don't think I have touched since around 2007. I really don't know why; it's an amazing game that gives you creative freedom (within reason, of course) to make just about any movie you want using a variety of scenes and a huge ammount of sets (again, within reason). The only downside is that the website that used to host just about every user made movie ever uploaded shut down a couple of years ago. Still, you can make your own movies for your own enjoyment, and there's always youtube :).

Hopefully next week, I will be able to say something a little more interesting, as I will hopefully have an internet connection back and be able to play my steam games (without the knowledge that any achievements that i qualify for count for nothing), World of Warcraft and Starcraft 2.
