To say I’m helping our fragile economy by wasting $55 on games, I’m not. Only Europe’s.
One purchase went to Steam, though. For Unreal Gold. I already own it on CD, but thought of getting it for Steam since I don’t know where the CD is, or if it’ll work in a x64 environment.
The others were all from Europe. One was to keep my prem going for a month in Wurm (would’ve expired today), and for Ship Simulator 2008.
What got me back into it (somewhat) was Steam releasing ‘Ship Simulator Extremes’. Knowing years ago I couldn’t use ShipSim2008 due to my shitty computer, this was my chance to finally get it.
So I did, for only $20. And then I also had to buy the Addon to drive my beloved Marbella Delight (the Speed Yacht).
I can go to San Francisco now. And even the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans.
You can finally moor anywhere you want in Freeplay, and even save your game. You also have an anchor if no mooring areas are around you. Though I kinda wish they would make it more sandbox’ey by allowing you to set the weather ingame without making a new game.
And also being able to hop off your boat (when moored) and walk around would have been nice.

And to top it off, instead of getting that iPod Nano (which I still might get if I have enough), I’m going to try to get a one-Terrabyte hard drive to replace my secondary. I need it more than an iPod. Planning to get it installed by the 1st of next month.
