Not Scaramouche

At least, not yet.  But Queen has finally come to Rock Band 2 today.  My God, that only took forever, didn’t it?

Also I have a new gig as the Toronto Video Games Examiner. Check it out.  Subscribe.  Leave comments.  Tell your friends.  Pay some attention to me, dammit.

Oops

I kind of surprised myself by powering through Infamous on Hard difficulty and actually finishing it.  Of course, this isn’t really “finishing” the game any more than it’s considered finishing a Grand Theft Auto game if you only play story missions and ignore all that wonderful optional stuff just lying around in wait, which is exactly what I did for Infamous.

Moving on to a much slower, more leisurely round 2 of the game.

Slow Wednesday

Only two things to do, play more Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots and start on another IGN article.

The Monthly Ritual

Yup, back to GameAxis articles for the next issue. And watching the Wife begin a slow but truly frightening mastery of the nuances of resource management in Civilization: Revolution. I don’t think I’ve ever seen her in this much anticipation of a game. She’s alternately flipping between getting the PC version to tide her over until next month, or importing the UK version because for some reason, Europe gets the title a month before North America. This week, in fact.

Back To Articles

Started up on the next round of GameAxis articles, played some games, and have to gear up for more IGN stuff next week.

Writing Things Up

Aside from finishing up and sending off an article to High-Def Digest not much to talk about…

Semi-Productive Sunday

Sent off the last of the GameAxis articles for the month. Other than that, it’s more time spent in the stinking, chaotic bowels of Liberty City.

Saturday In The Neighborhood

Aside from the Wife feeling a teensy bit under the weather, it was an otherwise quiet, day with great weather. I meandered down to my favorite game store to pick up the title to the left, which is technically a game I already have, sort of. Persona 3: FES is actually the original Persona 3 RPG with some minor additions to the existing game and an all new additional adventure tacked on that provides the “true ending” of the game, since the original game ended somewhat ambiguously. Aside from that, I started up on the last GameAxis article for the month and slowly crept up a few percentage points in completion for Grand Theft Auto IV. I’ve now stolen a bunch of exotic cars for a ‘roid enhanced maniac and struck down the 10 most wanted criminals in Brooklyn, Queens and the Bronx. The moral of the story; cops pay crap for outsourcing.

Still Boring

Finished the High Def Digest article, messed around with some of the new content in the Playstation store, and, of course, went back to Grand Theft Auto IV. Also the Wife surprised the hell out of me by going out of her way to track down an Atlus RPG all on her own on eBay, just because she’s that big a fangirl of the company now.

Being Boring

Writing articles, hunting down pigeons. That’s about it.
