I've been enjoying my half term break; a week with no children, just some planning, lots of sleep and food. This is all good, as far as I'm concerned.
I've played Age of Conan; it's certainly better than WoW, but... it needs a machine in the realms of Gods to play, needs about 25gb of space on your hard drive, and even on the lowest settings is somewhat jerky for me. It's really really good; all speech has a voice-over, the combat is intuitive with you hitting around peoples' defences and stuff. There's a really odd point at about level 7 where you don't have anywhere specific to go and fight things, and I died about ten times trying to find somewhere. Eventually I muddled through to level 10, but it was a struggle.
All that said... I've got no real reason not to play it. But my mates all play FFXI, so I guess I'd rather play that, and keep an eye on Conan to see what happens. It was noticeable that things were being improved on a day-by-day basis, as I logged in yesterday to find two new menu bars on the right of my screen. So at least they're fixing things ASAP.
Regarding the lack of a strip: We're entering a couple of competitions again this year, and also have an idea in the works for a manga to be released on the website, so, hold that thought ^^ Kat's really busy and, although I'm currently not, I've got five weeks left of my course. Nearly there!
