Oblivion

Last night I stayed up way to late playing Oblivion. How late? Well I had to be up at 5 am to get ready to go to work with Jenny so I could go to Human Resources and apply for another job and I finished playing around 4 am. Yup. Won’t do that again. I told Jenny that I was up late posting on my blog (this blog) and that I was in bed before her perceived 2 am… Technically I was ‘in bed’ but let’s face it: she’ll kill me if she ever reads this. I pray that if she does she will not be angry, for I will not be doing that again. She thought I was up until 2 am playing because my computer was in my room. Trust me; she was dead on the couch much sooner than 11 pm.

Moving on, Oblivion. Damn that game. It’s so freakin addicting! The first time I played it I was at my Brother’s house in Idaho. I was living there with him and his manly wife (yes, she hates my guts and the feeling is mutual) at the time. That’s a long story I do not wish to delve into right now. I was successful in becoming the Gray Fox himself! Well, herself. I had done very little of the main story line quests and had just started the quests in the Dark Brotherhood. In which I tried a couple days as a Vampire, found it boring, and restarted at the save spot that I created just in case I thought it would be bad. Good thing too, otherwise I would have been in trouble. NOT! I moved out. Another long story I do not wish to tell right now.

Sometime later I contacted my Older Brother and asked him if he could save the file from his PS3 onto a flash drive and mail it to me. He informed me that he had erased it. Pissed was I. So I went to FYE’s to try and look for it on PS3 (not that I had one at the time) or Computer. They didn’t. Ridiculous I know. So I went without it for a year and a half, but never stopped thinking about what I wanted to do when I got it for myself one day.

It wasn’t until I was in college this last year, fall of 2011, that Alanna (an amazing person who’s so freakin smart it’s scary) taught me how to torrent it. Sure it took like 3 hours or more, but it was so worth it! Though I didn’t play it until I had pulled out of that semester due to medical reasons; I didn’t want to have it interfere with my school work, which was lacking at the time as it was.

It wasn’t until I got to my Dad’s place in Riverton that I played it. I had to start packing to go to California again, but I was so freakin sick I lost my voice! I mean I had never lost my voice before, and it totally sucked! So what did I do? I had no internet, and the local library didn’t have wifi. So I played Oblivion! Even after my Dad remembered the internet password to his wifi and I finally got internet I still played it. Though I used the net to look up cheats because I was a dumbass and at level 11.

I ended up putting it down once I got to California. I had other things to do. A job, get my health on track, and basically my life back on track. Some things happened and about a week ago I started playing again when I was in my Sisters office with no wifi, yet again, and nothing to do. So I started another game, which would make my third, and played. It’s been about 5 days today sense I started playing it again and I’ve only used cheat codes for money, hammers, lock picks, and to revive Mezoga the Orc because she died protecting me as I fled the castle after I stole back the Countess’ ring. Big ‘OOPS’ on my part. I couldn’t finish that quest without her. That’s what I was doing last night until 4 am. Trying to figure out how the ‘revive’ code worked! Then I just used the ‘Place Player At Me’ code and suddenly there were two Mezogas. One dead one and one live one. If I took something from the dead one she’d yell at me sense the computer thought I was taking it from her. XD Ahhhhh awesome.

So far I’ve gotten pretty far in the Mage’s Guild. The Necromancy stuff is kinda awesome. I’m halfway through the Thieves Guild, gotta go look for the book next. Just entered the Dark Brotherhood, like haven’t even opened the dark door yet. Done several jobs for the Fighters Guild, and I don’t know how far that one goes or where it leads. Nothing for the ‘Holy Relics’ of the Nine Divines, kinda hard to do when you’re killing people in the Dark Brotherhood. Last, but not least, I just got the 3^rd book of the Deadric worshipers for the main story quest. Plus a lot of side quests because I enjoy it. XD

The next time I play the game I’m going to write the story down and post it somewhere. Don’t know when, and don’t know where. Though it’ll take me FOREVER to finish the game like that, but it’ll be totally worth it won’t it! Won’t it? Oh well. I’m looking forward to it.

More for you guys later!
