Bleah
Last week I got a call from my nephrologist, I have thyroid problems on top of the kidney and high blood pressure. Yay! Started the medication and stuff. I'm on so many pills, ugh.
Anyway, finished Prince of Persia: Warrior Within, it felt short but maybe that's just me. Shit got done like he wanted, kinda, and he was free. Then it gave a glimpse at The Two Thrones and stuff went to hell. Again. I started that game and apparently the alternate ending in Warrior Within (the one you have to do extra stuff to get, I don't know what it is myself yet) must be the one used for the Two Thrones to even be possible. Because the start of that game hinges on the ending I got in the last never happening.
The Two Thrones seems to have gone back to the music roots from the first one, good. It fits better. The second one had some fitting music but they really liked to put that rock sound in there which while nice, wasn't quite fitting for the time frame the game comes from.
Heh, had the AC unit checked out yesterday and the repair man was watching me play. He had never heard of Prince of Persia but said it reminded him of God of War and was interested. It does remind me of God of War at times, and a bit of Soul Reaver/Legacy of Kain in vague ways. Mainly the time travel and paradoxes and rewriting history/altering the timeline.
All in all, I'm really enjoying the series. I'm going to try and find another action/adventure game series to tackle next. I love that genre best, even if I do spend long minutes streaming curses at the game when I reach a particularly nasty area of INSTANT DEATH.
On a side note, I'm slowly adding more hours back to work. They're so goddamned anxious to get me back on full time. The work I did is being spread out among about five people. Five! To do what I did and they're complaining. Understand now what I've been through, guys? I'm never going to let it be that way again, it was too much for me.
