Close Shut The Jaws...... Whatever, It's Oblivion!

Finally got a chance to sit down and put a healthy 2 hours into Oblivion for the PS3 today. What can I say, it's probably more amazing now than when I played it on my PC. "WTF OMG WHY?!?!?!!?!11111eleven" you ask? Well now little guy, I'll tell you why.

Oblivion for the PC is amazing, don't get me wrong. Access to all the games downloadable content and expansions, the mod scene. Literally infinite possibility's with the game, but for me thats where the game falls short.
For myself, a game with no limits and infinite possibility's is shooting itself in the foot. On one hand you will play the game for years and still have new things to see and do. On the other hand, you never really get to sit down and enjoy the game for what it was made for. Endlessly searching for that "something better" on the internet instead of doing what you paid your $90-$100 for, and just playing the game.

I found myself doing exactly that, I put a decent chunk of time into the game, and then went rampant on the mods. Everything to trying to make the game look even better, to adding more content, to even making my own new content for the game. I burnt myself out on trying to do more, because there was always more to do.

Which is why the PS3 game is much more appealing for me now. I get to sit down and play the game for what it was intended, no distractions of mods, no distractions of trying to tweak the game, nadda. Just the game, plain and simple.

So now what? Well I get to go to work the next few days and not even get to touch the game. Alas cruel fate, damn ye.

Speaking of work, I went to the EB interview, and it was whack. I understand it, but that doesn't stop it from being a weird interview.
There were 8 of us LFG, (ok, maybe MMO terminology shouldn't be used), and 9 interviewers [Party leaders?] (Ok, ok I just couldn't resist). First it was introductions, then it went on a spiel of different odd questions; "Why did the chicken cross the road", "What was first, the chicken or the egg" and other such questions. Then it switched from individual questions, to teamwork exercises; "Build this Lego without the instruction manual", "[split into two groups] Debate [for/against] why the Mexican Wave should be banned at the Cricket". There were a few other questions, and the interview lasted for about 90 minutes.

After all was said and done, 3 of us got chosen to come in quickly for individual interviews, (which I was chosen for), and all 8 of us got told we would be contacted in the next week.

I surprisingly got called the next day, (today), to come in to the Epping store (yes some of you can come harass me should I be chosen to work there) on a certain day/time to meet the store Manager for a more personal interview (man this is quite a process just to sell some people games).

So that about sums my past few days up. Work, interviews and sitting down with Oblivion.
Also I hope you all enjoyed my review of Linkin Park's new album. Feel free to keep commenting, I welcome your feedback.
