Here is a question for Lili:

So, where am I now?

What is the purpose of life? (sorry, I must warn any potential readers to run away, this is one of "those" blog entries...)

I am afraid that I am one of those with no defined faith, no purpose and find little to root me here in the world. I guess it would be comforting to think that somehow my life, like any other human life, has some sort of meaning, but I really don't think it does. I am not saying I am a Nihilist...I do think life has a value, and that there is a purpose, a meaning to be found. I am simply saying I haven't found it.

I guess it has been another of those days, in a monotonous litany of "those days".

Well, we finally completed LoA and now know how the story ends. Heh, not nearly as enthralling as the battle with Gom, but it was fun and I also got to see some things that were new to me.

In the rooms surrounding the Great Clock:

Fire elementals

Air elementals (I have seen these in LoU but the whole room full of them was pretty cool)

I have never been a big fan of multiplayer, but I finally got the man to play a campaign of Legend's of Aranna with me. Well, that is inaccurate, because it was his idea to play Dungeon Siege multiplayer and he hasn't played DS in over a year. I suggested LoA because neither of us liked the NPCs in that game very much, and we never finished the map at all in single player. Currently, we just arrived in Demlock's Cut, so we are moving right along.

At my lit forum, we have a sticky in the general chat section regarding member interviews. There are several thousand members there, so in order for people to get to know each other better, some of the people set up a thread devoted to interviewing folks. This is much like an interview with a celebrity or political figure that you might read in a newspaper or magazine.

So, this has been going on for a couple of months now. We get the interviews whenever the people conducting them have time, and since they are both in school it is a little sporadic. Our last one was in the beginning of March. The other day I left a comment in the thread as I was wondering who was next....

It was snowing today... what happened to the spring we had last week?

The other day Lone Knight and I were discussing things that could help improve the popularity of the game, and bring more members to the community. One of those things is if the DS movie turns out to be a hit - I really hope it will.

Granted Boll has a very poor trackrecord, but watching the trailer on what appears to be the movie's official site does make me a bit hopeful that it will actually be alright. And I really like that the story isn't just about going after a bad guy but also about saving your love - not a unique storyline but one that I enjoy. It also seems like the movie will feature good music and nice effects.
