Tale

I would have been able to appreciate it if it hadn't been done quite so half-arsedly. Sure, you're not the chosen one, that's someone else, but that someone else doesn't do anything. Your character is single handendly overcoming great trials and tribulations while he sits around a warm fire telling you what to do. If they had actually wanted to do it right, they simply should have avoided the chosen one cliche altogether. You should go with the fugly orc. My experience says that stealth gets the shaft with their system. It doesn't train the combat attributes that you need nearly as well as standard combat does.

I think this is pretty much understood, but sometimes things fall through the cracks because of: a) Crackpot reviewers who just want to bash a game. b) Genre overload like what mkreku is talking about. Anytime you see a good review for a WWII shooter, you can probably guess the reviewers are abiding by that. Because 90% of the population has to be sick and tired of those games by now. They've got to be purposefully selecting a reviewer in that 10%.

I'm officially getting pissed at Persona 3. I can spend an hour or so in the dungeon, get up to level 52, then on my way out, I'll get hit with a chain of attacks from an otherwise weak enemy that just ruin my day and cause me to have to restart an hour back... Oh, and it's apparently quite a long game. I'm 63 hours in.

Because a game is either scary or boring, amirite?

Nothing in games is scary unless it has the ability to kill your character or makes you think it does.

Rogue Galaxy is good? I didn't hear anything particularly good about it.

Wow, back in my day "dungeon crawl" usually had you mindlessly crawling through several different dungeons with only intermissions for saves, not visiting one dungeon then running around town and getting plot advancements.

we need some turpentine amidoingitrite?

You shut up! I'm still waiting for a sequel!

I was doing a mile and a half, but overdid myself and nearly got shin splints. Took a week or so off from it and am back taking it much easier. I do .6 miles straight, and then I take the odd break for the rest of the way. I also gained 20-30 pounds at one point because of the cruise I went on and all the buffet. So, as I lose that it'll be easier to get back to where I was.

I liked that episode. Logopolis and Block Transfer Computation, using math to save the universe from entropic collapse. A fine episode that marked the end of Tom Baker's role as the Doctor. I bought the boxed set with The Keeper of Traken, Logopolis, and Castrovalva.

Persona 3 Well, I downed 3 major Shadow bosses today. That's little over two months of game time. Only 3 left! Of course, I have no clue what this means for the tower as I'm 9/12 on bosses, but only half on the tower. OH GOD!

Still playing Persona. Damn that Mitsuru. She signed us all up for Summer School! What a waste of a week. And then Sunday comes along, before I get a chance to watch TV, Chihiro calls and wants to go to some festival. I say yes, but it's mostly yet another wasted day. However, I have maxed out my charm and intelligence. So, once I've grinded (pun intended) Chihiro up to rank 10, I'll be moving on to Mitsuru. And fighting evil at night.

STALKER is now available over Steam, FYI.

Anyone know why my cat refuses to come in the open garage door, but has no qualm against entering through the front door?

Very interesting. I'd stroke my goatee, but I've been shaving.

If it turns out we're simulations, well... I'd hope for Godzilla. Because that was the best Sim City random event EVER.

You may have me confused with Bok.
