So Fallout: New Vegas aka Failout: New Lost Wages arrived yesterday. I didn't open it. And I probably won't. Sadly it's probably just going to be returned to BestBuy for a full refund. I can't believe I fell for it. Bethesda has got to be one of the worst game companies ever. Customer disdain from these fuckers is almost unfathomable. Most gamers are hoping for a patch, because that'll hopefully allow them to play.
It shouldn't be that way. Someone posted this morning about pre-ordering the patch. :rofl:.
Days since Failout: New Lost Wages release: 8
Days until Failout: New Lost Wages patched: :evenmorecricketsounds:
*NEW*
Days until Failout: New Lost Wages returned: 13

Reckless Restless
Having trouble getting jump started today. Coffee isn't helping at all. Reflective, somber and sense memory overloaded.
Now that I've gone to all the trouble of digging out this gear, I'm surprised by how much camera gear is in my possession. It's sad because it should be used, that's what it was built for.
Every piece of gear, has it's own history. Whether it started with me, or has ended with me. I have a great old, circa late 1920's box camera.
A Kodak Rainbow Hawkeye No.2. Red. Uses 120 film, it's still available. On a good day it's worth maybe $35. And yet it's still usable for what it was designed for, taking photographs. Solid mechanical design, nothing fancy or complex, but it works... 90 years on.
Wait and see if there are any first versions of an iPhone 90 years from now. Things are disposable now. It helps fuel consumerism, if you make product with a finite lifecycle.
Braincase Query
Do we ever truly own something, or are we merely caretakers of it?
