Mini Post: Games I'm Playing

I wanted to do a quick update since yesterday was all about revolutions and riots, there was no "me" time. So here is a quick update, mini post, whatever you want to call it.

GenCon is right around the corner! Well event signups are at least, so I have my spreadsheets and event list and I'm going to be playing a lot of HeroScape this year, as well as some Magic with my Dad most likely. They haven't added video games to the list yet, but I might dabble in some Halo or Super Smash tourneys again, even though I got pwned by the l33t dewds last year.

I finally beat GTA: San Andreas a week back. It was great, but I expected nothing less from Rockstar North. Lots of great weapons, cars, planes, and jets. I also liked the new mini-RPG elements in it, so you can improve your skill in sprinting, driving, various guns, etc. as you progress in the game. There were over 100 missions as well, and a very large map to enjoy.
A few downers though, which will allow me to try out a... bullet list.

• Eating. I shouldn't have to stop whatever I am doing to find some Cluck'n Bell every 30 minutes or my health starts draining.
• Gym. Shooting guns and driving cars to get better at them is fun. Lifting weights and running on a virtual treadmill so I don't get virtually fat is not.
• Houses. I like finding new properties to buy all over the place. But since I own more than 15 homes, it would be nice if there were more assets to them, over than just some place to save.
• Map. The map was huuuuuuge this time around. Which was great, but also really annoying after awhile. It takes like 10-15 minutes to go from one place to the next in a car, and you can't fly planes until near the end of the game once you get your pilot's license.

Other than those issues, it was very enjoyable. I'd give it a 90.

Just started Final Fantasy XII. First thoughts are this is a Playstation 2 game?? The graphics are amazing. I even went out and got a Hi Def cable so I could enjoy all of it's 480Pness. I'm already 20 hours into it, so it looks like it quite a long story, but I'll let you know how it turns out.

That's all for now, I've got an hour left at work, and then it is Spiderman 3 time. Where will you be a minute after midnight? Assuming I drive really really ridiculously fast, I'll be at AMC 30.
