I've got just a few days left at work, which is pretty fucking awesome, although I never realized how exhausting it could be to train a replacement. I trained new file clerks at the law firm when I was bumped up to project assistant, but there was something fundamentally different about that whole experience: namely, that I would be around if ( Read more... )

l.a. noire, video games are awesome, red dead redemption, job rambling

Skipping over spoilers in case I ever play it to ask: have you guys played Assassin's Creed? *_* That is my new series of love and also love. I just started the second one, which was obviously made just for me (upgrading the villa! how did they know I wanted this!?!) but I have NO ONE to squee with since I am a million years late to this bandwagon.

<3 YAY. I'm am bummed about the first one, because Altair obviously got shafted in terms of game design. Roaming the cities was fun, but all the missions are really repetitive, especially if you play straight through. I made it to the end, purely on my need for bantering with Malik. Altair is still my favorite, but it's pretty obvious that the other games are going to be way more fun.

I am really liking AC2, even though I think Ezio's character arc is proving to be way less interesting: prodigal son's fall from grace vs prodigal's revenge adventure... HM. If only they would let me go harass Leonardo WHENEVER I WANT.

AHAHAH I know, right?? I loooooved Altair so much, but the gameplay became exactly as you said: repetitive and frustrating control system, to the point I got really bored.

*hee* It took me a while to warm up to Ezio, but I grew fond of him. Still, I wish there was more AC versions about Altair!!! Because he was pretty and fascinating and I loved his accent, unnggghhh. /shameless Altair fangirling

I've HEARD that in Revelations there will be more Altair... but I have been trying to avoid spoilers so I don't know if you actually get to play as him of if it's more backstory. Sobsobsob.

I don't have anything against Ezio, per se, except maybe his fangirls... but I sure am looking forward to AC3, which is going to have a new protag, according to rumors. It does crack me up that they all have the same face model but they look SO DIFFERENT.
