got really blazed at 11 last night and drove all the way back into town for the midnight release. Man, there were some weird characters there, let me tell you. There was this one really old lady with a cane who was super excited about her collector's edition and guide. It was kind of odd and funny. She had to be like 80, and she was all "I just finished Fallout 3 a couple weeks ago and I've been dying to get into New Vegas, I'm so excited!"
Anyway, I spent about an hour or so playing last night before I went to bed. I did the first couple of tutorial-type missions, and enjoyed them as much as anyone can enjoy a tutorial.
I'm going with sort of a general character first: Science, Lockpicking, Guns, Explosives, that sort of thing. I was thinking about starting with Hardcore mode, but I want to get as much out of it on my first go as possible before I come back later for a Hardcore run. Oh yeah, and I picked Wild Wasteland....I couldn't resist.
The deck of cards that come with the CE are really slick. They are all mismatched "brands" of cards from different Casinos and things so almost all the cards have different backs, not to mention the fronts which are all different, and filled with characters and things from the wasteland. Gonna read the graphic novel "All Roads" today on my lunch break, so we'll see how that is.
Really though, I just wanna go home and keep playing. Today is going to be the slowest work day ever.
