  • now that i am rested and have some free time, i should talk about those things i listed, along with some brand new ones.  i'll start with what i don't need to talk about anymore.  also there will be several pictures.

    The conversation I had this morning and The way I'm feeling right now: neither of those turned out to be anything major.  no point in continuing to bring it up.

    Fallout 3:  is awesome.  i've never touched a fallout game before now, but i'm highly impressed.  i haven't played it too much, for reasons that will become clear in a bit, but what little of it i have played i like.  as soon as my gaming platter empties out a bit i will probably pick this up bigtime.

    Heavens Feel: is pretty much why i haven't played anything else except gears 2 for the past week or so.  mirror moon released the HF translation last weekend and it has occupied all of my free time since.  i play in the mornings before i go to work, i play as soon as i get home.  the writing in this route has kicked up a notch (except for nasu's flimsy excuses for ero scenes, although the mirror moon proofing crew did a pretty good job in that regard.  it doesn't read like fanfiction anymore) and like kohaku's and hisui's routes, the end of the game serves as a swift kick to the ribs.  fate is the arc/ciel routes in that it's relatively happy with some minor sadness thrown in at the end.  UBW starts to clamp down on you the way akiha's route did, and HF knocks you flat the same way kohaku and hisui did.  and i haven't even gotten to the real meat of this route - i just started day 12.  i'm sensing that i'm about to enter the bulk of what HF has to offer, as the big ol' huge plot twist must be right around the corner.

    also Tiger Dojo 32 wins the award for Tiger Dojo that is Freakier than the Dead End it Precedes:

    and i have to say...the shadow is far, far scarier with the realta nua voice patch.

    Blackberries: and then there were two.

    Radar Minorin:

    i seriously cannot stop staring at this.

    My job: not sure why i brought this up, things are going great.

    WoW: will probably be on hold for a while.  i haven't touched it in a week, and with HF, Fallout 3 and Gears 2 on my plate, along with all the other games i have in progress, i don't really have room for it.  too bad, too...i just joined an awesome guild.

    Gears of War 2: is basically gears of war 1 with less BROWN and more lights on the armor.  but that is by no means a bad thing...GoW is an awesome game.  what few changes they did make are all positive, and i couldn't be happier at this point.  i haven't played much, but we'll see.

    Braid: is an excellent indie game that makes me want to smash my controller.  but it's a puzzle game, so that's pretty much par for the course.  i'm loving every second of the scenery and music.  i'm sure my weathered brain will eventually perk up and i'll start solving puzzles like a maniac.

    anywho, time for bed.  i have something else but it will have to wait.
