A week without internet is seriously killer. At least I had my Wii to play with. Har har, only had to camp outside in freezing weather with a camp chair and some blankets for 12 hours. Zelda dies. Oops .
At least its a quick, though ungracious death. I was just kind of sitting there thinking, "well, damn." She'll probably come back to life one way or another by the end of the game, but I don't want to spoil everything.
Wii Sports is awesome, Red Steel is great. My biggest gripe about Red Steel is that the weapons are completely unbalanced. The pistol is, by far, the most powerful weapon. Seriously. My brother and I did some tests in the multiplayer mode, and the pistol does far more damage per unit of time than all the other weapons. I think this is due to weapon 'accuracy' being added in - the bullets don't go exactly where you're pointing..... unless you use a pistol.
I was going to rant about how gdnet suxxors teh big !!111!500.13 these days but I figure, well, best not to talk about it especially since its to be expected from such hackish software but I guess I can't complain. I doubt I could write anything to best it, so hooray good job for getting it this far. *watches Paypal send more money*
Haven't gotten the job as sysadmin at uni yet because they don't have funding for it until next year (ie, 2 months) when a couple positions open up. Meanwhile, I think I'll learn me some PHP, something that I've been meaning to do for a while, and a job skill they asked if I had in the impromptu interview I managed to snag after saying I'd work for free. Long story.
Going to go continue reading Sword of Truth now, or play with my Wii some more... though its a little chafed from earlier today.
Also, hi Steve.
It's usually customary to put an opening <spoiler> tag. I'm just glad I don't play Zelda games for the story.
And you were right, Final Fantasy III is very cool. Although, the difficulty spikes pretty early on. I'm only two hours into the game and my party is already getting pwned by generic enemies.
