I realize it's been a while since my last post, but I'm restricted to my laptop and whatever internet I can find floating in the air at the moment. My PC needs a new power core and I really can't afford one at the moment.
So... whats new in the world of Lord Xtheth?
I picked up Halo Reach this past week. Now, the last halo game I played was the first Halo and I enjoyed it alot, but this one... Aside from the graphics upgrade it really felt like the exact same thing. I mean sure it's got a good plot, and some nice weapons but a few things strike me as odd.
Reach is supposed to happen before the first Halo game right? So why do these soldiers have access to guns that didn't exist in that game? Master Cheif was supposed to be some kind of cyborg-robot-supersoldier thing right? So why do these normal human guys have the same strength, or in some cases more than M.C.? These normal guys can kick tanks over when they flip, and they can tear guns off of turret mounts, this doesn't quite seem "human" to me.
Respawning also pisses me off. If Reach was supposed to be the firt planet destroyed by the Covenant and everyone on the planet is supposed to die, why do you respawn? I know from a game standpoint, its to allow you to play the game with minimal frustration, but seriously, why wouldn't all the guys who died on reach just respawn? Stupid suspention of disbelief breaking game logic!
I'm getting excited about Fable 3. I loved the first 2 Fable games, and I'm looking forward to anything new the 3rd title will bring to my platform.
The D&D essentials line just started. The books themselves are alot smaller than I expected. I thought they were going to be produced in the standard format, but WoTC decided to make them "pocket sized". The new character options presented in the books seem pretty good, and none of it is game breaking. I'm glad WoTC got away from the "Power creep" that older editions suffered from.
The essentials line does however update the classes and races to hapily co-exist with the new race and class format that they just recently learned to do (and people like). Humans STILL feel like they deserve a 2nd +2 to a stat though. I'd give them +2 to any stat, and +2 to Int, or Wis. as their options myself.
I've been taking care of kittens for the past 2 weeks. The mother gave birt to 5 kittens on September 12. One of the kittens was still-born, and 2 died over the next 2 days. I've been taking care of the other 2 personally since then. It's not hard work really, it just eats at my sleep. The kittens like to wake up crying in the middle of the night, only to fall asleep again by the time I finish mixing their milk replacement formula.
Both kittens love the formula, and they cry to have more forever every time I feed them. They eat it until their full, puke, then they want some more! I've learned how much to give them so they won't puke now... so no more of that!
I think thats all I have to share this post.
Here's hoping that I can get back to my regular updates!
