Well, that romance didn't last long. Just hours after seeming to settle down with the game, I find myself turning my back on Star Trek Online. The frustration factor is just way too high for me to have any FUN.

So, let's see what's wrong...

- Bloody awful ship control. One key press, and the ship's going entirely the wrong way, and it takes ages to correct. It makes no sense...
- HORRENDOUS ground mission controls. We took on some Klingons, and I maybe killed two or three out of twenty. Most of the time, I was shooting the ground - why was it so sodding easy in the frigging starter tutorials, and the first mission??? The target selection absolutely did NOT work.
- Insufficient mission information. What point is there in having a "log" that DOESN'T record the exact location of your destination?
- And don't get me started on the fucking interstellar navigation! (See above)

If I ever want to look at this sodding game again, I WANT A COMPLETE FUCKING MANUAL. OFF-LINE. GIVE ME A FRIGGING .PDF.

This has been a really shitty day, game-wise. I may just take a chance at some more Skyrim - that I can play, and enjoy.

I missed the fnajing Superbowl.

For the first time since they started showing football in the UK, that's since Superbowl XVII (although I'm thinking there was one year it didn't get shown, or we only got highlights), I missed the game. At just about 10pm, our power cut out. Scottish Power said it'd be back on by 1am - plenty of time to catch most of the game, and The Who at halftime, but nooooooo, not a chance. I'm now avoiding any and all news outlets until I can get a download - iPlayer, don't fail me now...

And NO-ONE better blow the result for me. They do, they may just get hurt (make that pelted with obscenities).

And no, I did not get any bloody writing done. The next posting, due tonight, will be knocked back a day. Exceptional circumstances.

Update... Yes, iPlayer is failing me now. Nobody better "fnaj" with me tomorrow, or it's Ysmault time...

Did some writing this afternoon, but my heart wasn't in it. I'll be suspending posting until the story is complete.

Update Of The Update... And my broadband is being a 8!tc4. Going to give The Cleveland Show another go...
