I'm changing the bullets this week into something more dynamic. Since I'm horrible remembering specific days, I'll just mention what I did, to be considered DONE in the past week! I know, crazy stuff, but my mind reserves stuff to be rememberd in weird ways.
- Finished Lego Indiana Jones' story mode. Great, fun game, I had a blast with it. I'll probably go back to it at some point to get all the treasures and unlock all the bonus levels. Neat game for the price I payed: FREE. :)
- Played through the beginning chapter of Condemned. Looking good so far, pretty scary. I can safely say I'll have a hard time getting through this game since I am horrible dodging and parrying melee attacks. The CSI stuff in it is pretty dumbed down so far, but interesting nonetheless. I am a big fan of Monolith from way back in the Shogo days, so I'll press on with this game. With it I also picked up Condemned 2 for a ridiculously low price, so I'll surely play 'em back to back. If I am not too scared, that is.
- Took part in WoW's Children's Week event, and was able to finish all the activities (read: achievements) in three log ins between two days. The PVP one was a pain in the neck, but I finally shot it down with a very friendly group of battleground goes in an epic Eye of the Storm flag capture. The rest of the BGs weren't so easy, though. I got the last two vanity pets from the orphan escort missions, now I have all six Children's Week pets. Crazy, considering my long periods of not having an active account, and still being able to take part in the event for three years straight. Got the 'Patron Edrebrann' title, which is nice.
- Played an hour or so of Sonic 2 on the Sonic Genesis Collection, much further than I ever had before, thanks to save states. I was never into old Sonic games before Sonic Adventure, but it's easy to see why they were popular back in the day.
- Still played GTA: Chinatown Wars on my DS. Very fun, yet cumbersome game - holding a stylus and using the buttons is very awkward for me, but the missions are keeping me interested.
- Chrono Trigger was hardly played, I only got past the first "dungeon" section... I'm now at a very desolate location after dropping from a portal.
- Published more images of my finalized Ecto-1 in some CG forums, got a pretty good response. Now I'm working on a final action shot so I can put the car up at CGSociety and the rest of the major international CG websites. In one particular local website, I got inducted as a candidate for 3D artist of the month among some other people, which was awesome. Even if I don't win, it's still awesome, after all this hard work on the car.
- My review for Flock! went up. Check it out here. Lode Runner's still in the publishing queue.
- Last, but not least, I started two games for review at GameRevolution - Banjo Tooie and Wallace & Gromit's Grand Adventures: The Last Resort. Banjo got reworked from the ground up, and it shows. No more slowdowns or blurry textures, which is great!
