Trilby: The Art of Theft & Her

Trilby: TAoT is a treat. I loved the X-days adventure game series and getting a sneak peak at the early life of the game's protaganist makes me love it all over again. You have to wonder why he couldn't do all this stuff in the X-days games but then again, it is a game and we shouldn't really overthink it. A nicely done game, gameplay is exciting and keeps you coming back for more. Certainly calls for the perfectionist in you and is sufficiently difficult to make it a challenge. Kudos, 8/10.

Now, about her. She dropped the bomb on me some days back, and I haven't really recovered since. Its been going on for like forever and its about time it comes to an end. I realise that she never really felt like I did and we was only me trying to convince myself otherwise. I'm just the idiot that didn't stop trying. At least you can't blame me for the effort on my part. I sacrificed so much for it. Now, I've got nothing and its time to pay back on those "loans" I cashed in. I'll always miss you.

F.E.A.R: Persues Mandate, Catan & Stratego

Perseus Mandate was kind of bad as an expansion. It doesn't really help further the story, more like reiterating a weaker version of it. The horror scenes are so cliche and drab that I don't feel scared, I feel bored. The graphics are soso (same as the original F.E.A.R), music is normal, gameplay is as usual to F.E.A.R. For an expansion, that's really bad. Sad to say, 3/10.

Been playing lots of board games now days, what with the lacking quality of most computer games and the lack of funds to purchase new Xbox360 games. My favourite games at the moment are Settlers of Catan and Stratego. Both are really easy to learn and play with very simple mechanics behind them but the level of thinking required to play it well is high. Much like Chess. Try them both out if you're into that sort of thing.

Meeting up with my friend this Friday, its her last week here before she ships off overseas for studies. We have a lot of history together and we're pretty close so I'm awful sad to think that she'll be going off soon. Maybe its for the best though.

S.T.A.L.K.E.R & some "unexpected" news

Just finished stalker at 3a.m in the morning after getting stuck at one part in the game for like over a day or 2. The game is... really meh. Its an FPS trying to be an RPG-wannabe but failing at both. Plot and story progression is poor, with much left unexplained until the very end and even then you're not too sure. The endings are even more confusing and ambiguous, giving me much pain to say that this was not the game I had hoped it would be. 4/10.

Met up with a... friend... of mine today. She mentioned breaking it off but I could sense a sort of regret and pain when she said it. I want her to be happy more than anything so seeing her like that and being unable to do anything for her made me feel so helpless. Also made me realise some other things that got me thinking.

Happy New Year?

Happy new year everyone... no new finished games to talk about as I haven't finished any. Started quite a few but can't seem to get down to finishing them. Probably cause there is little motivation to do so but whatever.

New Year is here. Whoopee. Some how I can't feel elated about it what-so-ever. Probably cause I feel like shit right now. But who cares right? Its raining heavily right now, my fav weather. The rainfall is comforting somewhat.

I'll leave you guys to your happy new year. Who ever is reading this.
