I spent most of last night smashing my way through the Demon Ruins with the Black Knight Greatsword. Fuckin love that weapon. It's no Keel Smasher/DBS, but that heavy attack is so gruesome.

Damn, color me interested as well.

1pm in the afternoon and I'm finally up. A solid 6 hours. Now back to translating ancient languages and gaming.

Are you studying Classical or Koine Greek?

Both, but at the moment Hellenistic.

Nice, I'm starting with Koine and loving it.

Very cool! Let me guess: New Testament? If you need help at all, do let me know.

Yeah, NT and Septuagint eventually. Not too bad so far but we haven't gotten to verbs yet. What are you working on translating?

I love the music too. I'm all for the upbeat stuff in Doom 1-2 (or I just usually blast some metal while playing WAD's or something, lol), but yeah ... the Doom 64/PSX music is pretty cool. I don't like it for the PSX port of Doom, but 64's music is in the same style and fits the different style (visuals) and all that really well.

This week is
Moschus and
Bion , although that interrupts three weeks of the
Argonautica , which will resume and finally be done with next week.

More Doom. Sorry, Xeogred, I gotta keep playing this N64 for now. I'll try out Absolution once I beat this. Shouldn't take too long.
