I still remember playing Desktop Tower Defense for free on Kongregate.com on my PC years ago. I like the patterns the gameplay creates. 

The cut-scenes look really good. There's lots of great dramatic camera angles used like it was a film. 

That's what I thought. What am I gonna do? Well, I could do the same thing at another store, but I'm kind of tired of it, so I'm spending some time looking for other options. I have a little money saved up and some family support that'll get me through. I'm spending all of September doing the job search thing and, now I think of it, soul searching as well. In a way, it's a good time because I'm really working hard to figure out what I want to do. None of us has forever, I have to decide now. 

I thought today that it's a little bit like an MMO except it's just Mark and I. There's a big open world and lots of stuff to do. Despite the simple graphics, the vistas are surprisingly impressive. I climbed out of a mine today at the top of a mountain and it was snowing. Our village was down in the valley far below and it just looked amazing. 

I usually avoid signing in to anything other than my console before playing a game. Uplay came up when I played Child of Light, but I ignored it. I got enough things I have to sign into already. 

Man, Wired's Game/Life Podcast today was talking about how many of the triple-A games now are going to have in-game purchasing options. Ugh. I find it scary to have such things within a game. The temptations are too much. 

I love dogs, but I haven't had one since High School, and can't have one where I live. I have virtual dogs in Minecraft instead. They are really stupid in that game though: they walk right into lava, fall down mine shafts, get blown up by creepers. You can't let them alone for a minute. 

I always try and do the right thing and gently transition to something new when there's trouble but sometimes it's so bad I can't take it. Call me weak, but I got my limits. 

Hey, it's The First Templar. I played the demo for that on Xbox a while back. I believe it had co-op, so I wanted to play it. It was kind of a budget title when it came out, but sometimes those games can be fun. I'll pick it up someday - can't beat 43 cents. 

Oh no! Bandit! Sounds like he was begining to suffer too much though. So sad. 

Good to hear from you.
