Oops

While trying to clear up my files as my screenshots are piling up more and more and seems like they are in need to be re-arranged. In my haste to do so, I delete them from the launcher interface... forgetting that they are linked to the ones in C:/my documents/EA...

To top that my D: Drive that was holding all my Sims 3 Screenshots before my PC got formatted was also gone, due to the partition becoming corrupted.

Introducing the Moonsongs


New to the town, Darius hopes to start afresh with his daughter Arianna. Having quite a character, Darius was the type that would not and could not commit. To holding down a job & a relationship, and was the reason why his partner left him with their daughter.

From then on he sobered up and found a new meaning in his life. Still to unlearn all that he ever known was not easy and took him considerable effort to hold a job that could provide for both him and Arianna.

Despite growing up in a single parent family, Arianna always remained cheerful and always had an aura that things were going well for her. Not the typical next door girl, she is both daring & witty. She often cracks those around her with her sense of humor. Her one short-coming though is her inability to stop herself from pilfering items from others.

Introducing the Tintagels


The Tintagel family seems like a family of renown. Why Vormav choose to start anew in Sunset Valley is unknown to most people except to his wife Alicia. Vormav is a brilliant scientist known for his unconventional research methods... and on one ocassion was nearly driven to the brink of insanity by a failed experiment.

After his release from the mental institution, his condition seems to have improved by a minor bit. Alicia took the liberty to bring him to a new town so that they could all start all over again away from the scrutiny of those who knew their past.

Between the two of them, they had two children.
The lovely Melialdoul who combined intelligence and beauty. In spite of these she had a fiery temper only a few could tolerate. Still Alicia is proud of her, since her daughter has become the top surgeon presiding at Sunset Valley's only hospital.

Izloude, the younger of the two is much more different. Unlike his elder sister, Izloude is not an ambitious young man and often dedicate himself to the finer part of life. Despite his nonchalant demeanor, he is not without talent. Having a natural aptitude towards arts, his works are pleasing to the eyes and also an accomplished musician.

Some would even say he is a walking art museum.

STARCRAFT II woes..

The long awaited sequel to the hit RTS. After being postponed several times, its finally released on the 27th of July. I can't say I was really anticipating this, I guess its due to age. If I was younger, I would have been gushing.

At anyrate, I bought the game on Thursday and was quite excited to install it. I'm excited by new things :) Unfortunately... the installation process got stuck at 32% and won't move for the next 20 mins.

I cancel the application and tried to clean the disc. Unfortunately... it got stuck and I cannot remove the CD... Oh well... at least they let you download the game once you register it.. but at the cost of 19 hours...

Seems like my CD is having problem... I might look at getting changed soon. Last time it wouldn't detect Sims 3 Expansion and Dragon Age Origin / Awakenings.

Nothing like a bit of technical hiccup to kill your sense of enjoyment
