good and bad today.
The bad - Need Root Canal therapy. People always wince when they hear that, But after having one before, I can say they havn't been that bad. it's why you need a root canal that's painful. But for me, it's frustration - After my first, I've been a ton more diligent about dental hygene; however, this occured UNDER a filling that's already in place - as in, a place you can't brush 'cause there's a filling in the way. can't even floss there. feh.
The Good - Downloaded Shadow Complex for the XBLA. Only had 20 minutes with it before my half-day expired and I had to go to work. But it is very well done, nicely polished (so far), and does match the descriptions I've read - Mostly, that it's an Updated Metroid for the NES / SNES. (Not the FPS of the Wii Cube). And it is. There's doors you can shoot to open, you can duck and crouch (although I can't "Ball"...but don't know if I can later). All set in a big, explorable map rendered with the Unreal 3 engine.
also...it's fun. I've been a bit starved for that in a game (I actually re-installed diablo 2...) so based on 20 minutes, I give it a thumbs up.
