Troubled Travels
Tuesday was my day off, and while I went to go pick up Prototype for the 360 and two books that came out last week, I left empty handed. I learned that Prototype actually comes out today, even though places had it on Tuesday. Games need a solid release date, period. Too often they bounce back and forth between Tuesday and Wednesday for the most part. Your other standard forms of digital entertainment have rock solid release dates, Tuesday. And I’m going mostly for CD’s and DVD’s on this one.
The books I went looking for aren’t widly known and didn’t sell out, they just never arrived. It’s taking over a week for books to hit the shelves now? Last book I wanted I was able to go in and buy on its release date rather than over a week later. If it wasn’t for the fact that they are horribly overpriced I’d just get a kindle and avoid all this shipping bullcrap in regards to my novels. And in all honesty, no, I wouldn’t even then, a book just isn’t a book unless it is on 100% real paper. Paper as in the kind we murder trees for.
My escapades weren’t a total wash out though, I did end up buying 25 pounds of rice and the 20 pound bag I bought is perfect rice for making onigiri. Now all I have to do is go get some stuff to fill them with. I do believe I have some tuna somewhere. And yes, I already have the nori needed to make them complete. Although honestly I prefer them without the nori. Meh, to each their own. I already know I’ll be getting strange looks for eating them at work.
Besides that I spent a good portion of my day tearing through Infamous like a starving animal does food. I could have easily put the controller down at one or two points, but I really wanted to know the ending, and the ending was spectacular. The twist at the end is only hinted at a mere 4 seconds prior to it unraveling, and you have to have a quick mind to pick it up, and one that think up super weird twists quickly. I most definately will be doing this game over again to see how it plays as an evil person, then choosing the good ending.
At the end, you get the ultimate decision of good and evil and even though I read the good one, and meant to hit the button for the good one, I sorta… instinctively hit th evil one. whoops. The bad thing about that though is that since you power up your abilities purely on the good or evil side, if you do the switch at the end, you are fighting the end boss with your powers at their lowest, unless you have some extra points to spend.
This isn’t a problem though, they foresaw this and made it very pausible to beat the boss as a guy with tons of powers at their lowest.
Infamous was far longer than I expected too, which was good. If you have a ps3, go get this game. It lets you throw lightning, nuff said.
