Hot Sundays

Aside from writing up the article and swapping turns of the Civilization: Revolution demo (yes, we are playing a demo over and over again. We are pathetic), the only thing of note is that this year we can actually sleep comfortably at night thanks to the new portable air conditioner sitting in the bedroom. Little did I realize when we arrived in Toronto that the heat and humidity here during summer were only a few degrees less intolerable than Singapore throughout the year, so as stupid as it may seem to someone from the ol’ hometown, in Toronto, I definitely see the advantage in having an air conditioner in the house.

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.

Dullness

Another quiet day where some comic was written and, just for the hell of it, I pulled out Heavenly Sword and played it again.  And finished it in one sitting.

The comic, by the way, is a new one.  This isn’t Nowhere, which is still ongoing, but is currently on hold.  This one is another idea the Wife came up with, a much shorter story that can actually be told in one tpb, or in this case, perhaps, manga sized compilation.  Can’t talk about it much yet for obvious reasons, but when it’s done, we’re probably going to entirely ignore the hassle of looking for a publisher and just go the self-publishing route.  At the very least, being a “local work,” we’ll immediately get some street cred with the Canadian government for going the self-publishing route, and we might even be able to convince stores like The Beguiling to give it a shot.  Who knows…

Just Another Day

Wrote a bit of comic, wrote a bit of children’s novel, played some GTA IV.

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.

Back To Work

And slower play. Time to start on another High Def Digest article as well as get prepped for more stuff for IGN. In the meantime. I’ve killed 5 pigeons in Grand Theft Auto IV. Just 195 to go…

Sunday In Downtown

The Wife needed to meet someone in downtown to discuss some work related things so we meandered over to the fairly large Indigo’s bookstore branch to do the deed and promptly got suckered into spending waaaay too much time looking at nice books.

Bookstores are evil.

Also, wrote a bit more of the next High Def Digest article and made a little progress in Gran Turismo 5: Prologue.

Of course, in just over a week, everything grinds to a halt for the majesty of gaming that is Grand Theft Auto IV. My God, to think it’s almost here now… feels like I’ve been waiting for freakin’ ever for this game to release…
