I went to the zoo on Sunday, with Friends. A stop at Fritz's for root beer and burgers, then a day at the St Louis zoo is ok. Surrounded by crushing traffic and a mob of toddlers, disaffected teenagers and their parents, but I got to see penguins.
I can make even a fun day sound awful. It's a talent nurtured by practice.
Abyssals is wrapping up, and so is Changeling, probably. It's not been a long arc, to be honest. The options suggested as follow up games include 'Kill Sam Walton', 'Bob Barker is a Lich', and 'Save Utah!'. Yesterday, a major plot was circumvented by way of a trip to Home Depot, Wal-Mart, and a fertilizer bomb. It's an interesting group to run for.
I made a mistake and reinstalled Civ 2.
Now that I have a Playstation 3 again, I'm playing Dead Space. It holds up very well, even as far as halfway through, where many games tend to lose the potency of the opening minutes. It makes a lot of mistakes that are easy to notice, but difficult to avoid or subvert. Monsters that come from nowhere after certain criteria are hit, for example, are not terribly uncommon. But the designers made an effort not to make it too bad, and the atmosphere is always top notch. I enjoy playing it, and I'm hoping to have some final thoughts on it fairly soon, if this is the kind of thing that interests you.

I like that that sentence needs no explanation :)

Now there's an engaging plot for any roleplaying game!

Ah, Civ 2. The only game I actually have to uninstall to not play.
I realized the biggest problem I've got with Dead Space to date last night, actually. It reminds me of Dragon's Lair in that minor mistakes result in instant environment casualties. This results in lots of trial and error (or stopping to check Game FAQS, which rarely fixes my issue) as I'm routinely reduced to pulped meat without a good idea as to why.
