Now that I unloaded my baggage in its own entry I can get to the more common things.
Work has drastically slowed down. I don’t know if it’s because we finally got our computer systems back up running (roughly) right that we’ve managed to get caught up or what, but it’s definitely back to the slow time, which isn’t all that promising since Christmas isn’t that far off.
I’m doing okay commission wise since what orders we’ve gotten we nice sized, but I’m still weary.
Things with the boss have continuously gotten better again which is good. I’m glad. Again I can’t say how worried I was in what direction that might have taken. But I’m glad it didn’t.
As far as reading goes, nothing too new. I’m two thirds done that Star Trek book and I’m really enjoying it. I know, that isn’t all that much to say on it, but what do you expect? It’s a 3-in-1 hardback. It’s gonna be a slow read.
Video Games have been going good though!
Batman: Arkham Asylum was an amazing game and I am happy to say I have not only beaten the game (twice), but I have 1000/1000 of the Achievements/Gamerscore for the game! The storyline was amazing, the graphics breath-taking (though maybe a hair on the “shiny” side, meaning making everything look like it’s plastic/reflective of light), music was great and the voice acting supurb!! Kevin Conroy as Batman, Mark Hamill as Joker and sadly, I don’t know her name, but the girl who voiced Harley Quinn on Batman:TAS is back for the role too. The hardest part was actually the combat challenges for 2 of the Achievements. If games can make you angry, this will set it off to no end…but dang, the satisfaction was such a rush when you did manage to pull it off. The game is worth picking up!
Oblivion …what can I say about this game? Outstandning. It’s hard to believe after playing this game for now 92 hours total time that I was so against this game because it was a first person view in an RPG game. But it worked and I loved the storylines from all the quests, main and otherwise. 92 hours has netted me 1250/1250 of Achievements and Gamerscore but I still haven’t finished a lot of the quests. I’ve still be going back here and there to keep decorating my Castle. I definitely love the variety of options you have in the rpg aspect. I don’t see stopping completely any time soon
Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 is the newest pickup but I haven’t’ so much as tried it yet. My son has and he loves it more than the first, but I’ll decide when I try it. I hope to start it Thursday since I’m off.
My son recently bought (with his own money) Wolfenstein that just came out and that looks pretty decent and he can’t get enough of that game. He’s beaten it three times already, beating it on the hardest difficulty and plays multiplayer as well. I’m looking forward to trying that too.
I guess that’s about it really for now. Not much in the music way right now. Till Later.
