...but it looks like my last post was the not-quite-drunk post of "Moo moo moo moo".
I was thinking about having another "Review" post, but I don't really feel like making that a regular thing. The next one would've just been me gushing about video games I enjoy, but that would have been dreadfully boring to you guys. Plus it's been done about a hundred times. For the sake of brevity, my five favorite games are (in no particular order) Majora's Mask, Age of Mythology, Borderlands, Jedi Knight, and Banjo Tooie.
Anyway, I suppose I could update you nonexistant people on the search for my job.

Today I ranted for about two hours about how George Lucas has ruined the Star Wars franchise. I personally think he ruined it with the '97 special edition, long before the prequals. At that point, the movies became much more focused on producing as many action figures as possible. Anyway, I don't want to get too far into that since it's also something that's been said millions of times before, plus I already talked all the way through RotJ to one of my friends, probably ruining the movie watching experience.
Two days ago, I watched a friend play a game called Amnesia: the Dark Descent. Great game. I'd been meaning to get into it lately by myself and was actually a little apprehensive about being part of a group watching the game being played since it might defuse the horror of the game quite a bit. I'm actually quite glad I was with a group: playing something like that alone would've scared the shit out of me. I don't handle horror very well, and Amnesia is just about the scariest form of horror I've seen. Supernatural crap mixed in with a creepy atmosphere and a general helplessness are blended together so perfectly in the game that I felt as if something similar were happening to me. I felt like I was actually hiding in my closet, too scared to look out in case the monster outside saw me. It's connections like that that so many games are missing today. Nowadays you've got your usual shooter where you play a character who is more or less a god when it comes to speed and athletic ability, who shrugs off bullets after resting a few moments, and who has the firearm training of the best soldier out there. In Amnesia, you play a regular guy. You feel a connection even if you pick up from the middle because this guy reacts the way you would react. In the dark, everything seems to be coming out at you. You do seem to go insane. :olr ,r ejrm jr od jrtr/ :olr mpe/
