That's where I am right now... in that relaxing space between major projects.
"The Art of (Real-Time) War" is pretty much done. As I mentioned, only game-specific chapters are left, and to be honest, I'm not 100% sure I need them. GameFAQs has plenty of guides for almost every RTS in existence, and the writers are very thorough with their guides. I'll keep pondering some more ideas, but I'm at my limit.
At the moment, I can't even look at the strategy games I have. I am so absolutely burnt-out on strategy, I can't even play Peggle. (I'll let you ponder that one a moment.)
As far as writing... I have a short story in progress for a "for fun" competition. When I finish it, I'll throw a link up... I think you'll enjoy it.
I also snagged a fanfiction.net account and re-posted a story I wrote last year based on Dark Crusade. "One Marine's Battle" was an interesting little story that I really enjoyed writing... I hope you enjoy reading it. :D
I finished reading "Legion," book 7 of the Horus Heresy cycle. All I can say is, "Holy Terra, that was an awesome read." :shock: I refuse to give anything away about it... if you're a 40K fan, you owe it to yourself to read it. Seriously.
My brain needs a serious break from the deep and serious, so I stopped by a near-by used book shop and picked up a $1.50 horror novel (The Unholy by a no-name author who's name escapes me) for something to do. I doubt it's very good, but I have a soft spot for Z-list entertainment (how many people do you know proudly announce ownership of a copy of "Killer Klowns from Outer Space") so it'll keep me amused for a week or so (it's a "snack:" less than 300 pages).
Meanwhile: I seem to recall someone mentioned taking a stab at an "Art of First-Person Shooters" series. Somewhere before I started writing the "AoRTW" series, I mentioned that I was hoping it would spin off into others creating their own guides. DOn't think of it as "ripping me off;" think of it as "inspired by" the guide. :D
That's all I've got for now. Party on, dudes.
(Edit: Fixed the link to the story... apparently, I pointed it to my edit page. *facepalm* )
