  Secret Santa 09

  As I did last year and the year before I would like to get Secret Santa up and running again.
  
  What is Secret Santa and what can the gift be?
  Secret Santa is a event where the participants are randomly assigned someone. The person then has to make a gift for that person. The event is totally optional. Don't feel pressured that you HAVE to participate, although it would be appreciated as the more involved there are the better it turns out. Like last year and the year before, there can be no store bought gifts nor real money exchanged between the two. So participants will have to get creative and either create their present from scratch or use some kind of webservice to create their gift(webcard, etc). Of course, please try to put effort into your gift.
  
  When is it?
  Secret Santa starts now. Please post in this blog saying you want to participate if you want to be involved in it this year. On the 8th we will start sending out who your going to be creating the gift for. You can still apply to be apart on this but after the 15th you won't be able to participate. Please pm your gifts to me by the 20th. Gifts will start being handed on on the 25th.
  
  But I don't know the person..
  Their profile is a great way to find out what they like. You're gift doesn't have to be a autobiography about that person - a signature of their favorite character is more then enough.
  
  I am not that creative..
  You don't have to be a artist to create a great gift. There are plenty of things you can find on the web that'll help.
  
  Do we get any stuff for participating?
  You're gift and a possible friendship..
  
  Who am I getting a gift from?
  It's randomly chosen from all the people already participating.. And is meant to be kept secret until the 25th..
  
  What if I never submit a gift?
  You're removed from Secret Santa and the gift you were meant to get will be given to someone else.
  
  I hope we get a lot more players then the past years. Have fun and have a great week!

  I Am Boredd..

  Lately all I've been doing is working. Work work work. I completed Dragon Age: Origins a while ago and throughly enjoyed it. The only really challenging boss was the final boss.

  ***SPOILER***

  I was doing fine until the horde of Darkspawn appears. They killed me quick. I started again and let the Archdemon kill the other characters(my main character had Arcane Warrior mastered so it was only dealing 14 damage each time it did it's long range attack so he survived). Then I just ranged him with the giant crossbow until the darkspawn came out. They couldn't see me and only came 1 or 2 at a time. The spawn only lasted for a short time so I commenced with killing the over sized lizard.

  I haven't picked it up since though. I enjoyed it but I just don't think I could replay it again. 60 hours a run through really eats up time. Instead I picked up Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story because I enjoyed Superstar Saga. Although this one is great it's just not as great as SS. Still a great game though. How have you all been doing?

  Dragon Ages..

  
  
  
  Absolutely love Oracle Of Ages. Finished Seasons a while ago but didn't bother to record anything..Oh well. Ages will be drawing my attention for the next little while. If you have not played this game and don't wish to be spoiled do not watch.
  
  I've put about 20 hours into Dragon Age: Origins so far and I am very impressed so far even though I never planned on even buying the game at first. One of the best things about it is the freedom of choice - you are free to customize your character as you see fit. You are also allowed to make your own decisions, unlike many other rpgs. If you want to kill everyone in your path you can. If you don't want someone tagging along you are free to send them away. However this makes the main character kind of dull. The character is essentially a shell that is capable of making his / her own decisions but that's about it. He / she can't talk or make any gestures that other characters can but this is to be expected.
  
  Character development is pretty deep. You can talk to them on a individual basis and learn more about them, which is very interesting(Morrigan in particular). By talking to them their affection meter either goes up or down, depending on what you say to them. You can offer them gifts which brings their approval up by a lot if they love your gift. Because the main character is the one calling the shots and is usually the one to be addressed by other characters the others don't usually have a chance to be the center of attention so they add their 2 cents in, which can also affect their affection if you do something they disagree with. I am only playing on Normal and am enjoying combat so far. I decided to make my character a blood mage with arcane magic. I only got it a while ago and it works pretty well so far. One thing that annoys me though is the lack of re spawns..Leveling is difficult when theres only a set number of enemies around.
  
  Overall the game is pretty fun. It is surprising how many glitches made it in considering the amount of time the game has been in development though.
