Title: So I don't really know what to do with myself over this week's mini-break
Post by: Ecrofirt on November 20, 2007, 01:21:30 AM
I've been doing some programming projects at work recently (basically a script writer/executer that'll allow us to easily automate some of our shitty repetitive tasks), and that's really given me an urge to program, well, something, anything, as I don't do it as much as I'd like.

At the same time, I've got a bunch of movies I'd like to catch up on. I've tried watching the Bela Lugosi Dracula twice now, and I've fallen asleep both times because that happens a lot when I watch movies :(

And to make matters even more complicated,  I've still got a brand new copy of Halo 3 staring me in the face, and I don't want that to be a bad purchase that I'll never do anything with. Problem with that, though, is that I've had some weird saving issues which have caused me to replay the first level 15 or so times, and I've totally soured to it at this point. I just want to start at the third level rather than traverse through all that bullshit again.

Decisions, decisions. Fuck.

I'm not buying or renting any new games. They end up being useless purchases for me, as I never have a desire to play them. I recently bought a whole bunch of games from Cajole, and I haven't touched them. Before that, the last game I played was Twilight Princess on GameCube. My Wii was a terrible purchase, as it's been collecting dust for damn near a year now, and I just hooked my 360 up for the first time in over a year when Halo 3 came out (and as I said above, I've done next to nothing with it).

Gaming lost most of its flair with me a long time ago.

well, random media source ranked Halo 3 the 10th trendiest game of buzz-worthy games to play of the year or something, so really I wouldn't even consider it anymore imo.

My in-laws fly in tomorrow evening and stay until Saturday. I genuinely enjoy spending time with my wife's parents, but at the same time, I won't be tackling Uncharted or Assassin's Creed during my 4 1/2 day weekend (half day on Wednesday) until Saturday afternoon.  :-\

wait, your save file is broken in halo 3?  I know that you can start on any level if you're playing online co-op and one of you beat the game.

I've already started Assassin's Creed, so I'll probably finish it up before I get into Uncharted. I'm no longer going to allow myself to get sidetracked by attempting to play five games at once.

Good choice.  According to Gamespot, Uncharted=8.0 and AC=9.0.

Believe it or not, MAF, a lot of gamers love that dialogue crap which is why they keep bringing it back.   :-\

I just want to get a 3d game from Bioware that plays like BG2, although I remember that you didn't dig BG2 that much.
