Yo, everyone, how's it hanging?
It's still gonna take a few for a review on Prince of Persia, but hold on to your pillows, it'll be a doozy once it's finally up. I played through the Epilogue DLC, and even though it isn't as bad as the main game, it's not great, either.
I've been playing a bit of WoW lately as well, and after the series of Thanksgiving inspired quests, I am now the proud owner of every single piece of freaking seasonal achievements, titles and rewards. The seasonal content in WoW is very fun to do in my opinion, and the new Pilgrim's Bounty, Day of the Dead and Pirate Day content were incredibly fun to run through.
Reviews, wow, reviews... lots of published stuff. I was honored to see my first personal review in ages, for Panzer General: Allied Assault, get a mention over at Bitmob.com last week in their recap, so big thanks to everyone there. If you haven't read it, it's up on various sites, including GameSpot.

Out of those, I have to say TBoGT was the funnest to play through. Great DLC, get it if you haven't already. I can mention a few of the reviews I got on the pipeline and the queue, like Tales of Monkey Island Chapter Three and Four, LittleBigPlanet PSP, Lucidity, Bit.Trup.VOID, Jak and Daxter Lost Frontier and TorchLight. The last is such a big game, it's taking a while to chip through. It will break soon enough, though, I only have to try out the other archetypes, as I've only been playing as the alchemist. Blame FullMetal on that...
In terms of work, I am putting the finishing touches on quite a few personal projects, even going back to the ol' Ecto-1 for a makeover in a real work location. Playing a big part in a friend's company as a modeler, and I might just be this close to landing a job actually teaching this stuff, who would've thought? Things have been moving along quite nicely, and I've been working like a mule, a mule with a tablet that is. So much tabletting has been taking its toll, though, my hands are starting to ache, so seriously, I might take a bit of a holiday this weekend and just finish reading Pratchett's Hogfather, just in time for Christmas - totally NOT planned at all. Coincidence. Pretty close to my 25th birthday as well, counting a month to go starting tomorrow. I do feel the years as I type this, remembering back to 1997 when I first got online on a crappy PC and now... going online on a crappy computer. The world sure turns!
