More Games
I decided to write a post because i'll probably be going off the radar for a while. The reason for this is because i just bought Tomb Raider Legend last night, despite my ridiculous game addiction. It's not the latest Tomb Raider game, but it's been years since i played one so i wanted to start with an older one before i move onto the latest one. The last time i played these games, i was like 13 and cheating my way through the whole game. Its not that the games are particularly hard, but i get really scared by the monsters, tigers etc that attack you so things like "god mode" and unlimited ammo gave me the confidence boost i needed to play.
I should probably do a special games feature for this blog, but it's only recently that i've been getting back into them. Other than Mass Effect, i have passed Sam and Max season 1 and Still Life this year...as in 09. I played Sam and Max because i'm a diehard vintage Lucas Arts fan...you know, back when they brought out non-star wars related games like Monkey Island (my favourite game series of all time!), Day of the Tentacle, Full Throttle e.t.c. That's not to say that i don't like star wars games, in fact i think KOTOR 1 and 2 are among the best games of all time but i'm still waiting for Monkey Island 5! Anyway, Sam and Max is now being released by Telltale games and even though it follows the whole "point and click" structure, i didn't find the dialogue as funny or the stories as interesting to play as the original Lucas Arts Sam and Max game. It was all a bit repetitive. Still Life, however, is possibly the best crime solving game i have ever played. Unlike the CSI series, it's more focused on the story than actual forensic analysis and it's far more interesting to play than the Sherlock Holmes or Law and Order games.
My laptop just overheated and shut itself off there, i'm not sure whether i should thank Firefox for restoring my session or blogger for saving my post! I tried turning on my computer which seems to be broken. I think the harddrive is damaged from the power outage yesterday, i just hope i can retrive important information like my Mass Effect save file. Looks like i wont be starting my new game today. This is probably for the best because i'm really running behind schedule on my FYP. I completed my wire wrapping of the first half of the keypad board, but then i ran out of green wire. I have red, white and black but i'm trying to colour code for neatness and so that it'll be easier to track connections. I'll have to spend the entire day in UL tomorrow trying to finish this off. Previously, i had given myself a deadline of last friday, but i woke up really late in the day and had to teach at 6.30 (which was cancelled). So i have had no access to parts all weekend and no work was done. On the plus side, i did see Clone Wars which was better than i expected even though it didn't feature General Grievous.
God this blog must make me seem like the biggest nerd ever!
