Not much to report...

I spent the morning playing Champions of Norrath: Return to Arms. Then, I arrived at a Stealth Mission in a cavern-like area, with weird little patrolling buggers that are faster than you and 1-hit-kill you but have pretty crappy perception skills. Of course...there's no such thing as stealth or invisibility in Champions of Norrath, so I was like "Uh...ok, this must be like Flece infiltrating the Royal Palace in Summoner" and I proceeded naively. 10 tries later, I was starting to get annoyed. I mean, I'm practically a god in terms of strength in that game, but these lousy buggers can 1-hit-kill me? That just screams of bad game design, and it's just about caused me to stop playing...which, considering that school starts in 5 days, probably isn't a bad thing, actually. ;)


In any event, we went on a family jaunt into town today to get some "civilization" stuff done; when we got back, I did some college-related work (athletic supplements, mostly) and then did a bit of playtesting for TLS, taking plenty of screenshots along the way. 11 of the 21 or so made my "quality" cut and can be viewed now in the gallery, in the 12/28/06 update. :) Below is a personal favorite...

So, let's see, what else...what I do for the remainder of the night is still up for grabs between playing Caereena: Krakona Rising by Dallo & co. and watching the entire contents of my 2nd of myr 4 family guy DVD's. :) Or, I could be intellectual and play my parents at Scrabble...I whooped them 2 days ago, then tied my mom yesterday (believe it or not--that's the first time I've ever tied, it was incredible!), so I may need to show them who's boss again.
