The basics and the accompanying pain.

I'm not recovering, the illness persists, but in some ways I'm improving and I am grateful for those ways. I'm at that awkward stage of having enough energy to be restless but little enough physical capability to get it out of my system.

Get your ferratin levels checked. Mine were critical and probably the cause of most of my issues. My wife wasn't any better off than I, and when we decided to go the infusion route, thankfully it was mostly covered. A little bit of financial pain is worth it for the functional gain, in this case.

I appreciate that there are a lot of people not in the position I'm in, but that's not why I'm blogging this morning.

I finally reached a decision about some games I haven't addressed here, and it involved a guilt inducing installation. I've avoided Blizzard for many years since Starcraft was a big hit with the kids in high school. I dabbled for a few days with World of Warcraft (busy playing Lineage II and Aion Online, donchaknow), and Diablo II was a haunt for a while even though I never quite managed to completely beat it. Assassin for the win, every time.

I'm not sure what possessed ol' Blizz to give the Diablo II remaster such an ugly aesthetic, so reviewing that one, I won't touch it. That may have been a bridge too far. Starcraft didn't suffer so much, somehow. The putridity of the world and its characters is consistent with the story and its environment. It works, and the much is as exciting as ever.

Battle.net just feels creepy. Am I nuts? The sheer marketing pitch is so much more heavy handed than the other stores I'm used to. Well, I did sign up for the journey, and at least it doesn't get in the way of what's important: Playing their games. Rather, it hasn't so far.

Y'know, the company I'm keeping--insofar as games--is probably as dismal/hopeful as reality. That's something?

Cheers?
