Me no feel good & other stuff

by humanityplague

Well, at the moment I'm feeling better, but I'm not 100%. For the past few days I've been sick with the Flu, or a stomach bug, or something. Considering I'm immunosuppressed , this isn't exactly a good thing. I actually called up both my oncologist's yesterday to ask if I should go into the hospital, because of how dire I was feeling.

Well, at the moment I'm feeling better, but I'm not 100%.  For the past few days I've been sick with the Flu, or a stomach bug, or something.  Considering I'm 
immunosuppressed , this isn't exactly a good thing.  I actually called up both my oncologist's yesterday to ask if I should go into the hospital, because of how dire I was feeling.  Luckily I seem to be over the brunt of it, and except for a case of nausea, I'm doing better.  A few things going on:
 
1.  I start radiation treatment on Monday, which should be interesting.  I was actually supposed to start on Friday, but my transportation company screwed up, and no one was available.  So, Monday through Friday I go in for treatment, for 5 weeks.  It'll be hard (especially on my ankle), but if it means clearing away more of the cancer, and being able to walk again, it'll be worth it.  The good news is, it's warming up here slightly, so I won't be outside freezing as much.
2.  I started playing the Saboteur on PC.  I bought it during Christmas on Amazon's download service, but forgot I had it, till recently.  I wish it had come to Steam, as I like having all my games on that specific platform.  It's a decent game, but (as everyone says) has some issues.
3.  I'm going to try and replay Mass Effect 2 again.  I found a decent site for PC game saves for Mass Effect 1, and loaded it up.  Sometime soon I'm just going to grab ME 1 and 2 for the 360, and play it the way it's meant to be played (I.E. with a controller)
4.  I beat Reccetear, at least one playthrough of it.  I liked it, but there was a LOT of stuff I missed.
5.  The system for unlocking the DLC in Dragon Age Ultimate Edition on Steam is insane.  It's one of the most poorly designed systems I've seen.
6.  Just got sick again, while writing this post.
7.  Re-installed Saints Row 2, because a friend of mine has it, and I still don't like it.  I really like the idea, and characters, but the game feels poorly executed.
 8.  My copy of MvsC3 should be here soon.  I pre-ordered it from Best Buy, since Gamestop and Amazon were out of the collector's versions.  I'm looking for to it.
 
Also, here's a quick run-down of what I intend to get next month:
 
1.  Dawn of War 2: Retribution collector's version.  It's only on THQ's website, but I still wants it.
2.  Reboot: Mainframe Edition dvd.  All of Reboot for 60?  Sold.
3.  I may pick up Homefront on the PC.  You can get a copy of Metro 2033 with it, which is decent.  And I'm kind of looking forward to it, and it supporting a Xbox 360 controller.
4.  Might buy The X-Files complete series dvd.
 
Ah well, that's it for now, I'll try blog more sometime, but I usually just do the Twitter thing.  
 
Special note:  The guys who do the "This year of the Hotspot", and "Best of Bombcast" podcasts are great.  Seriously, some of the best work around.
