Well, last night was akward...got a little buzzed and went crazy on the keyboard here :lol: I mean, I woke up, saw what I wrote and it was a big WTF moment nonetheless (although I have to admit, I've still got perfect spelling under the influence :P). Anyway, that little problem is sorted out, so I'll be a little more active here...kind of glad all that blew over in less time than I imagined :D. Very sorry for missing out on the action here, it was something that really had to be done. Everything's all good, and I think the next blog I'll write will be something about Amnesia: Dark Descent...I mean, wow! I haven't felt this uneasy playing a first person game since Call of Cthulhu (which is the closest game I can describe that gave me a similar vibe...I always thought the Cthulhu mythologies were interesting because the moment you run into normal people there's already a feeling of dread, like everyone's got this dark secret they're hiding and turns out to be much more sinister than ayone can imagine...and you just can't help but stick around and find out what the hell is up with that world, even if it's out of morbid curiosity...truly amazing stuff).

Anyway, not quite as lucid as that game, but I do have to commend the whole Penumbra series on immersion. Just the way the game makes creative use of the mouse as if it were the Wii's motion controller is an impressive experience (press the left mouse button to grab hold of a drawer, and pull back the mouse to open it) that already adds to an environment that's similar to walking into the house from the Grudge movie. Anyway, great game that's got me hooked for the time being.
