Stressing College But Still Playing Games

Hey all I'm back finally. I've been rather busy of late with my college classes. Mainly busy working on Calculus II. I've been struggling a bit in that class and it is stressing me out a lot currently. I have my final this week and it's ending up being pass/fail for me with the grade I have in there now. So I probably will not be posting again until after that final is done and out of the way. I was looking at my pageviews when I logged on to blogger and saw it was at 16! Woot! Getting popular :D Well I can imagine I'm popular at least!
In other news, I have been taking a small break from playing Landmark and went back in time a bit to play through the re-make of the original Fable game. I first must say that Fable: The Lost Chapters might be my favorite Xbox game. Reason being that I can still play through it and not get bored one bit. Now I am partial to the original version with the worse graphics, but that's just me! I do have to say however that the Fable Anniversary edition graphics are a very nice change to the game. It definitely makes the environment pleasing to the eye even if my character was not (the young boy you play as just looks like he has a pencil in his butt the whole time). It reminds me of why I love single-person RPG's that are fantasy based. I'm going on break here in a week, so I think I'm going to take some time and play through Fable II as well. Although I hate how Lionhead changed the magic system for Fable II I will say that Fable II is my favorite of all the Fable series. Fable III is just not good in comparison to the other two games. The graphics stayed the same and the story line and lore just got worse. I am not going to say that Fable III is a bad game just that it is not near as good as its predecessors. It was a fun play through...but not a fantastic one.
As you may know if you have read my other posts, I am pursuing a life in the video game design industry and I am happy to say that I have gotten my major all worked out so that I am no longer in biomedical engineering and am now majoring in Mathematics and Computing with a minor in Graphic Design. I am the first non-art major to minor in Graphic Design at my school so this should be interesting! Hopefully I do well! Fingers are crossed along with my toes and all other crossable body parts.
I have learned today that League of Legends is the blackhole for my money. I haven't played in about a week and I got on today...dropped $20 for all the new skins I wanted. Why must Riot make such nice skins. Why?! That's a game I play a lot as well so you will most likely here about it a little bit here and there. I do focus more on single-player games though. If there are any games that I have played that you would like to hear or learn more about I am open to blogging about my thoughts on them! Feel free to comment on this and I'll be sure to get to it! I'll leave a list below of some games I have played. I haven't explored many mmo's as I have only been on pc for 2 years so I won't be able to talk much about those. The only mmo I have played is World of Warcraft and I did not like it very much.
Well I think I am going to sign out for now! Oh I have a new screenshot of my water sphere house that I shall post below this for any of you that are interested! It's coming along quite nicely I must say :D Thanks if you read this far! You're a real trooper! I'll talk to you later! Have fantastics days!

List O' Games: League of Legends, Gothic 4: Arcania, Kindoms of Amalur: Reckoning, Dragon Age Inquisition, Titanfall, Minecraft, Feed the Beast, Bioshock, Fable I, Fable II, Fable III, Hawken, Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind, Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, Elder Scrolls Online, D&D Neverwinter, Two Worlds II, World of Warcraft, Age of Empires, SWTOR, Guild Wars 2, Smite, Assassins Creed, Landmark, Call of Duty (too many to care)...there are more but that's a good enough list! The bolded games are my favorites.

An outside view of my largest water sphere! As you can see the water has not been disturbed by my building inside!

This is just a look to what I was at last time you saw this build.

This is where I am at now! The roof is made along with all walls. I am adding windows now and other wall decor.

This is a look at the bedroom. I do like the semicircle Glass window.

This is going to eventually be a sort of study. I am currently adding a bay window and still have to add furniture.

This is a view inside the top part of the roof. It is going to be a sort of greenhouse garden for the building! 

Obviously this is not the same build but I wanted to show another one of my builds. This is a town gate that I decided to make. It is a recreation of the picture below this. I think I did rather well given this was my first real build in Landmark! I added my own flair to it with the roof style!
The original concept of the above build.
