Procrastination
08 April 2012
I should be writing my dissertation right about now but I really can't motivate myself to do so. I've managed to write about 50% of it in the last week but the most difficult part still needs to be written. It's a lot more difficult than simply writing one of the usual essays you get for module assignments. Not so much because it requires a lot more words (though having to write 7,000 words on anything is tedious enough) but because it relies on so much primary source research. I don't think I'm going to be able to get a very good mark for this dissertation but I should be able to get a decent enough end product before the deadline. I just need to stop procrastinating and actually do some work on it. Kind of hard though when my tooth has decided to give me crippling toothache again...
So what have I been doing in the time I should have been writing my dissertation? Why doing something productive like taking over Japan in Total War: Shogun 2 of course! This game really does warp the normal flow of time. It's very easy to get completely absorbed in the campaign mode and before you know it, the sun has both set and risen again and you realise that you've been playing it for 12 hours straight. Not since my days on Final Fantasy XI have I spent so much time on a game without realising it. I remember playing the first game years ago but it wasn't anywhere quite as addictive as this one. I would highly recommend this game to anyone who enjoys strategy games.
