Well…
The trouble here is that I never know where this log fits into my day. Let’s see if I can get in the habit.
A/V: I took a break from Oblivion a couple weeks ago to have a look at Fallout 3. First impressions: FO3 is a game I want to play, but not right now. It seems more like a winter game, while Oblivion is definitely a summer game.
I also borrowed Bioshock from Alan on Tuesday and have been playing that this week– I like to cozy up in the dark around 10pm-1am, after my housemates have gone to bed, plug in my headphones to our stereo receiver and crank up the sound. Definitely the good way to enjoy (and get mercilessly creeped-out) by a survival-horror game.
I’ve just finished the first level and survived my first tussle with Big Daddy– afterward, you have to choose whether to “harvest” his Little Sister for ADAM, or rescue her. I’ve decided I going to rescue them. 1) I like playing heroes, generally; and 2) that Russian splicer (her name escapes me… Anatolia?) said she’d make it “worth my while”. I’m interested to see what that’s about.
Mogo: I played in two tourneys earlier this week. AltPDC on Monday, & XPDC on Wednesday. I went 2-2 in each, which I’m… okay with, I guess. My goal in Mogo lately has been to try and get my record back up to 50%, and breaking-even in a tourney at least keeps me from drifting further off the mark.
Excited for SPDC tonight. I’ve got a green-splash Blightning deck that tore it up in a few practice games w/ Hunter. I think it’ll be fun.
Text: I’m about 200 pages in to A Feast for Crows, the fourth volume of George Martin’s fantasy epic. Love the characters, especially the odd new viewpoint characters like Hotah the bodyguard and Damphair the prophet. Still unclear as to where the overall plot is going, which is why I probably set it down around this point last time I picked it up… (where the heck is Daenerys, for instance? etc)
