Excuses, exsmooses

Man I've been having a very unproductive month in terms of Newstory, or Tales, maybe its because of my increased focus on the Oda world, I even started writing again, which is actually a bid deal seeing as the only writing I have done recently is the stuff on Nexus.
Lately I've been feeling very bored with my current games, I've been playing Medieval II as the Russians, as they are the closest I can get to having an Asiatic team, without downloading mods that kinda ruin the balance. I don't play the Russians much as they have a bit of a hard start location, plus money troubles up to the whazoo. Basically I'm desperate for an Asian themed total war, I haven't played Shogun, but I'm dubious it'll work on my computer, as the original medieval carked it before I could even play it, just kept exiting, when I tried to make a new game, and its newer then Shogun.
Basically I'm bored of European themed strategy games, I really enjoy the total war series, and I basically want, either Shogun total war 2, or Asia total war to make an appearance.
But bah, page 8 for Newstory is giving me some problems due to me not liking how the character keeps turning out, and I'm now even debating whether I should show him, and instead keep following along with the girls. I've beenlistening to the soundtrack of Last samurai nearly non stop for the past couple of days, as its my only decent Asian orchestral music.
Another ramble was as I was coming up with some ideas for Oda, I came across an easy and good way to display the information for it, rather then put it into a lengthy word document as I was first intending to, I could make it into a website, combine it with some pictures(my own work of course), some maps, and a variety of other stuff, if get around to doing it I may add it to guardian universe.
Also I may stop the Realm for now, as a possible future comic, I haven't had much reason to work on it, and it needs a decent amount of research to come out looking good, as the main empire in it will based of the Byzantine Empire, a much more progressive Empire, but the armour and the weapons, and the general look of everything in it would be Byzantine. The current Emperor of the Realm is known as Constantine, which is a common name for Byzantine Emperors.
But I'm no history guy, just a guy who likes surfing wikipedia to much, maybe I should take up history at some point...
Anywho, my drawing hand has still been doing some drawing, though mainly character sketches for Oda, I may get then finelined and coloured, and put up in the gallery as they ain't half bad for my drawinging.
But bah bah, I'm outta things to say right now, so sayonara folks!
