Super Zero

So I've got this game called City of Heroes, and it is awesome: you make your own super hero, then super around, saving the day and such! There's a snag, though, it's online-only, so you gotta pay a monthly subscription fee. Arg. Still, it's worth it to be a super hero I created; that's been a dream of mine since I was a kid. But they have designed the game so that the best way to play it is on a team with other people, real-time like. But even that is pretty good; I hate interaction, but being on a super-team is a cool notion. Sadly, the times when I wanna play (12 midnight on a Monday/Tuesday) there aren't many other people online to play. And it's a frustrating, not to mention slightly boring game to play alone. So I bought the game, paid my subscription, and now it isn't much fun to play. Also, it's very hard to level up, and it isn't much fun at low levels. I can't even fly yet. And I can't have a cape yet. And I only have about five different (extremely similar) attacks. Irony is, for the game to get good, I have to play more!
I was introduced to the wonderful world of torrents today by a Mr. Thomas Parsons. It is amazing, but the obscure shit that I listen to takes twenty-odd hours to download. And half the time, they aren't mp3s, they are "FLAC lossless" files. Which is computer speak for "Haha, Jack just spent hours downloading us and he can't even use us". That's a minor setback, though.
My bed is covered in clothes and junk, so the more tired I get, the harder it will be to tidy my bed before I can get any sleep, but every time I think about doing it, I think "nah I'm too tired...". Dang my logic.
Yeah, really fucked off about my game, though I well wanna play it now.

Up, up and away.

if you want to use .flac files you can either play them using winamp, convert them to mp3 using switch or burn them to cd using burrrn. those programs are all freeware, google them
