After much hand wringing, over earlier pre Newvemberlutions about my Fallout kood-aid addiction, today I returned my unopened FAILOUT: NEW LOST WAGES Collectors Edition to Best Buy for a full $91.99 refund.
It was hard to leave it unopened... but it was for my own good. I expected this to work, and be a great game, and it may eventually be playable, but I wasn't willing to trust them again. The new game update on Bethesda's forums says "we’ll have something available in the coming weeks. When we have more details, we’ll let you know."
Reads, thanks for the money suckers. I'm not that trusting anymore.
Fuck you Bethesda and your lack of respect for your customers.

newvember
So, after all the Halloween trick or treater interruptions and mayhem... I'm slowly OD-ing on the left over chocolate treats and coffee.
But it's okay. I'm going to start a new month. And this NEW month will be called... Newvember.
Newvember (previously known as November) will now be like new years. The post apocalypse of all hallows eve is over and we shall start the freaking out season that precedes (insert your own religious holiday appropriateness here).
In Newvember we will make unrealistic expectations of ourselves for the upcoming 27 days. These will be called Newvemberlutions. I will lose 10 lbs. by aimlessly hunting in a mall to find the perfect gift for someone who will put no thought into my gift by getting me a gift card from a store that has no retail locations east of toronto. I will spend less money on sh!t I don't need to sustain my existence on the planet. I will update my blog every day. I will make more Newvemberlutions that are easily attainable.
Oh wait, first we have to get through tomorrow which is officially Día de los Muertos.
Memo: Newvember officially starts on the third day of the eleventh month, so that we may preserve the Day of the Dead on November 2.

top 3 bethesda fallout grifts of all time
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:.

the changing of seasons & related chores
So a weekend of manual labour has come to an end. Which will lead to a week or more of additional manual labour. Less intense, but hopefully more gratifying.
Finished building the storage platform in the attic, which is completely insulated underneath. The remaining work will be to finish the scavenger hunt for post-war relics and putting the rest of the insulation down. There doesn't seem to be enough hours in the day sometimes. And it's hard to stay focused on the task at hand. But the end may be in sight... which is a pleasantly warming thought.
We have just over a month to get our re-test for our home energy audit, so we can get our rebate. So the somewhat frantic finishing of odds and ends will be in full swing for the next week or two. Should make a significant difference in our furnace oil consumption.
Miss Slippers has been outside for an extended jaunt this morning, so it must be warming up a little. There is so much to do outside for our fiesty lil' girl at this time of year. Blowing leaves to be stalked and dealt with, partially naked trees to be climbed, neighbours doing outside chores to socialize with. It's a busy time of year for her.
crisp October air
chills while dawn melts the darkness

Sons Of Anarchy s03e07
So finally had a chance to watch this weeks Sons of Anarchy episode (season 3, episode 7). Things are starting to pick up, story line wise. Wasn't expecting Gemma to be going to Ireland, that kind of threw me, as well as she didn't know that JT had fathered a daughter.
I'm not sure what's in store for next week (episode 8)... but I'm running scenarios through my braincase, and they all seem to be hyper violent. Wishful thinking perhaps. Especially for Jimmie O, the tosser, and now surprisingly the Belfast Sons (bloody traitors). Well McGee and O'Neill. I'm seeing a parallel between the two charters. The Clay (President) and Tig (Sgt at Arms) secret (and disastrous) attempt on Opie's life, and McGee (President) and O'Neill's (Sgt at Arms) secret alliance with Jimmie O. Just the not keeping club brothers in the loop kind of vibe. Maybe something, maybe nothing. Just a feeling that somethings not right.
And what's up with Huey, Dewey and Louie, the three new prospects. Kinda srcaping the bottom of the band camp, dungeons and dragons barrel there, aren't we. No wonder the reaper crew is in trouble. Hopefully some back story on the three mouseketeer flunk outs will be forthcoming.
