Hello everyone. Hope you all had a great week and a good Valentines day. This week i kept to chipping away at morrowind, but it seems like for every quest I finish, 3 more spring up. Have a good week!

Finally sat my ass down and finished my Mass Effect 1 game. Ran (mostly) Paragon, so I'm thinking I'll do a renegade run when I eventually replay ME2. Playing also made me want to reinstall KOTOR.

On another front, I'm getting into the various N64 recompilation projects. The Harbor Masters project has up and running builds for Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask, Super Mario 64, Mario Kart 64, and Star Fox 64. I'm particularly interested in the latter two because of multiplayer. Why hasn't there been a StarFox rail shooter since the 64?? Then there was the recent Banjo-Kazooie release and it runs beautifully. I'm used to the N64 emulators to be glitched in some way, especially Mario Kart and Banjo. I'm blown away how well things run particularly the special effects which are notorious for glitching in emulation, like the Puzzle Piece scene transitions in Banjo. The thing that really gets me about these projects is how smooth 60 fps is in these games after being locked into 24 fps for three decades.

Finally, my nephew got Minecraft for Christmas, but just now started playing it. Of course I'm getting sucked back in because I'm the only person who knows how to play. He's not quite ready for Survival so I've set him up with a sweet Creative house with a beacon and compass in case he gets lost. I honestly think creative is the best way to introduce people to the game since it's so much less stressful and survival still isn't much of a tutorial.
