Heading Home

[c9]

All done teaching at EA*. They gave me thank-you presents! A t-shirt, a travel mug, and a game they make: Lord of the Rings: Battle for Middle Earth. I know NOTHING about it. In fact, I picked it just because it seemed like it might have strategy instead of basketball, and might run on the computer I own. Video game hardware requirements are a little extreeeeeme.

If it's too RPGey I may need to just sell it to Joel. If he ever stops playing WoW.

Currently killing time waiting to go to the airport at a little café called TREES on Granville. Pretty, excellent music, tasty panini, and free wi-fi. Go Trees! Only downside is I can't find a plug, so I'm about 5 minutes from no internet again.

* Now that I'm outside their network, I don't mind using the letters E and A together again. Ahhh.

Have a good flight home! It was great seeing you. Even if it was for only a few hours. :-).

I hope you had a safe and pleasant journey home. :-)

Home now. It was safe at least.

I think Battle For Middle Earth is real-time strategy. Kind of like Starcraft/Warcraft or Age of Empires.

I've never played those. Put it in terms I understand, like Command & Conquer or Populous or Civilization I. :-)

[iambic-cub.livejournal.com]

Command & Conquer. I think. Never played it, but from how it was described to me, it should be similar.

Actually, I seem to recall that C&C had the same gameplay engine as Warcraft 2, possibly? Hopefully it will seem very familiar.

I must be getting old, because if they'd had Populous or something I would have picked that. :)

Hope you enjoyed your trip to my neck of the woods!

I certainly did! I wish it had been longer! It was nice to be "home" for a bit. Even though I've never lived there, I spent so much time there, and lived in BC for so long, it all felt very familiar.
