Fable!

Yey! Fable comes out soon! On september the 14th in the US in fact! Probably a little later here since the european release will be in october. But it's still pretty soon! The games still looking pretty good too, even after they cut some stuff. Ahh yes, soon I shall be about to run about kicking chickens around, getting tavern owners mad at me, get guards throwing me out of town after I give them the finger, make outragous boasts about completing quests with one arm tied behind my back...
Anyway, it should be cool.

What's poor at this particular moment is that this comp at uni has a broken mouse. It's bullcrap, I have to navigate everything using keyboard shortcuts and stuff. It's quite irritating. All the others are in use too so i'm stuck with it. Well, those that aren't fucked up in some way anyhow. Poor ass windows XP. Theres always around a quarter of the computers out of action in a room at any particular time. Sometimes less on good days I suppose.

Anyhow...

THE ADVENTURES OF JED: MASTER OF THE UNIVERSE (continued)

Jed span about with a flourishing twirl resulting from the momentum he had gained while closing the door. He took an epic pose, then walked over to his desk to check out what he had been doing last time he was here.
His coffee mug, with some of that morning's coffee still in it, sat glued to a pile of papers with coffee stains all over them. Further up, pushed against the wall lay a red, half-finished woolen jumper that Jed had been working on. Those clothes stores never had anything he liked so he sometimes made himself stylish pieces of attire. Knitting wasn't really his thing though so the jumper looked a little sub-standard. A pile of science-fiction novels sat on the left hand side of the desk, half covered by yesterdays paper. The day before yesterdays paper lay crumpled on the floor beneath the swivel chair that sat before his desk.
Jed picked up his coffee mug and took a sip, taking a moment to remove the piece of paper that had remained stuck to the bottom of it. While he sipped he examined this paper. Along the top of the page it read "Ways to kill my evil boss" followed by a series of dot points. Jed tossed this back onto the desk and sat down on his old, slightly broken couch to watch the Olympic Swimming on his old, slightly broken TV. He enjoyed the swimming, so powerful, yet graceful. When the Olympics came to Beijing he would definately have to go watch in person. If he was still here that is. Things weren't looking so good in that regard.
This morning Gonz had calmly told him that he needed an ancient artifact that some temple out in the mountains had locked away in some ancient tomb. At first Jed had been ecstatic, after all, he never got to get out of the damn lab. Gonz had told him that the monk's probably wouldn't part with their artifact easily so easily, so he'd have to find some way to persuade them. This had resulted in Jed being given full access to the lab's funding. Jed was particularly pleased about this, he had immediately begun trying to think of ways to scam the money he needed for his parking tickets out of this. However Gonz had also told him that if he didn't come back with the artifact he would be out of here so fast that he'd get whiplash from the sudden acceleration.
That had made Jed less jubilant.
The diving came on, the chinese seemed to be winning.
