Cold Light of Day

I love foul weather like we have now, even though it doesn't rain as much as it should.  Makes me want to go out even more, even if I have do have to dodge a batshit harpy whenever I leave my front door. Although it does bring out the gastropods, vile but infinitely curious little things, I'd like to see them all banished to the oceans to be with their prettier cousins.

Christ, that sounded a rather poetic and pretentious opening, although it does sum up how exciting things are.  Been spending the past week or so watching through all old episodes of Doctor Who (screw the modern trash) while grinding on Castlevania HD and Pokemon White.  Interpersed with that has been plenty of physical activity and not eating shit, finally resulting in a little bit of tummy fat disappearing.  Still a ways to go before I'm fully happy with my figure, but it's the only bit I'm really unhappy with.  At the same time it helps save money of course, since trash foods are always the most expensive relative to their actual value.  A good thing too, since I have three birthdays coming up to provide for, and one of those is Megan's and I always spoil her something rotten.

So yeah, started this bloggage on a whim to record stuff, get things out and for a little bit of catharsis.  At the same time I've started a 365 project on Flickr, so these two things will hopefully help give structure to my time.  Also to be used partly as a gaming blog, since it's what I spend a lot of time doing.  I shall call it.... Glogging!

Today's Gaming Log (Glog)

Mainly Pokemon White, finished it a few days ago so playing through again with the idea of using all Ghost and Psychic-types, since there are so many new ones.  And they're shit.  Shallow movepools, dreadful speed, and practically every species encountered so far has a Dark-type move to fuck them up with.  I'm not going to bother playing it that thoroughly, especially since so much is dependant on Wi-Fi functions and other stuff.  Still working on my Platinum 'Dex though, borrowed HeartGold from Meggy and so the pokes I get from that should push my total up to around 480.

Still need to finish my proper play-through of Honest Hearts (Fallout: New Vegas), but the bugginess makes it hard work sometimes.  The main problem in Zion is that mobs get trapped in the terrain very often, and there's little worse than a Giant Cazador getting trapped in a rock then freeing itself and stabbing you in the back when you turn around.  And the sound of enemy Shishkebabs being at full-volume hundreds of feet away.  FFS Bethesda >_<

Current backlog: Final Fantasy Tactics Advance 2, Zelda: Phantom Hourglass, Pokemon HeartGold, Cthulu Saves the World, and probably more that I've forgotten about :c
