So, what was accomplished last week? Not too much, really.
The most momentous thing was probably being interviewed by Randolf Carter of Grinding To Valhalla. The interview can now be found here.
I think I'm about done with Champions Online for awhile, level 40 or not. I just went through a weekend where, instead of advancing a character I knew worked perfectly well, I ruined another of my previous existing characters by "retconning" him out of a perfectly good Dex/Ego Munitions build and trying to swing a Dex/Ego Dual Blade build. Martial Arts in that game right now? Not so good. I also dabbled a bit with my Sorcerer.
Of course, the real evidence I'm done with Champions Online is that I've started playing other games.
I gave Scribblenauts a spin, and apparently really enjoyed it.
I had re-upped my GameFly subscription specifically because I was trying to get a copy of Scribblenauts (ended up having to buy it instead if I wanted to get it that soon) and they sent me Professor Layton And The Curious Village and Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Ring Of Fates instead.
Both are astoundingly good games in their own right, but I prefer the PLatCV more because I'm actually quite bored of dungeon crawls and FFCC:RoF is nothing if not a cunningly crafted and elaborate dungeon crawl. That, and PLatCV oozes charm and plays remarkably differently than most games - about the only thing a gamer such as myself can really appreciate these days - but steer clear of it if you hate the idea of being assaulted by hundreds of little brain teasers.
My Spanish has largely gone neglected. I expect this to be a week of much catching up. In about one hour I'll be in Spanish class, and probably thoroughly embarrassed by just how badly I'm lagging behind the rest of the class.
I'm feeling the itch to do some more BYOND development... I'm thinking I'll probably cancel my GameFly subscription. What the hell was I thinking? I don't have enough time for all these games right now. Apparently, I haven't even made the time to do the things I really need to do in life right now. Perhaps this will be the week I turn that around?

Right now, I'm the conceptual stage. However, I'm thinking I'll do one of the following:
1) Stitch together my previous project into a minimalist but playable state. 2) Look into making a BYOND version of Star Command. (Well, not literally - I tend to avoid plagurism - but that's the quick pitch line.) I've been looking at the recent statistics of BYOND players lately, and I'm thinking to myself perhaps I should tone things down a bit. Make them more accessible. Tailor them more to the desires of the probable audience. There's ways I can do that without compromising my desire to try to push the envelope of gaming, I think. | |
Share your "game" with me by the way. I want to watch it play out. :)
If you can't handle any feedback right now, I won't give you any. I'll save it for when you become active again.
