5..4..3..2..Chocobo..Post Incoming!
So here I am rather blitzed on a weeknight which has been becoming more and more common these days, i'm not even sure I remember why anymore. But hey, learning to work in the mornings hung over is a skill worth learning i'm sure.
Anyway I've had some random thoughts, and also decided I would finish up on the few details in my last post I said I would follow up on. I've been rather at a tresspass these past few minutes (say 10) since this surfaced in my addled brain, I really don't like distance from my friends and peers. I suppose few do but for some reason this hit me suddenly and I really did realise how far apart me and certain people who I considered part of my core being once are now. This impresses me not, questioning myself (obviously an unbiased procedure, of course I reward myself for a truthful answer with a shot ^_^) I believe its myself, I have always rather an introspective person, looking inwards of myself and not others, perhaps this is what made me worthy of being confided in before as I'm unlikely to be unbiased if I didn't have an agenda. But now I seem to have passed that barrier to where I seem inconfidable (fuck you, its a word i make them up all the time, patent pending) I used to care so strongly about others and spend so much of my time worry about them and trying to help etc being the good little boy and quite happy to not be noticed (despite the large ass that I am I have always tried to be the one who does the right thing) but now I seem utterly uninterested, have I lost interest in others because I immersed myself so wholly in them or because I'm too awkward to attempt to breach those gaps? Maybe i'm just batshit, let's go with that one.
Anyway enough about my drunken ramblings, tis time for like the ONLY reason the three of my readers come here for is oddly enough for my opinion on certain gamings on.
Firstly I'll start with the new Dawn of War expansion which can be summed up in one phrase.
"Warhammer 40k"
It's your standard fare, if you've played dawn of war II you've played this expansion, its your usual RTS flare with all you expect from the 40k universe, I'm not saying its shite, but a short expansion campaign and a new race doesn't particularly scream expansion to me, I'm not a hardcore multiplayer gamer of DoWII but if its your fare sure go for it, it's nice to see them move a bit away from the whole "LOL SPESH MAHREENZ IS GOOD!" and let you go corrupted badass, which doesn't affect the ending much, but the begginings of a moral choice system in an RTS is at least something different.
As for the R.U.S.E. Beta i've been trying, I will say this for it, its fucking good thus far. It is nice to see the game done from a more general or war room perspective than the on the field micro mass (which let's face it, most of the time it all comes down to TANK RUSH CLICK CLICK CLICK ON THEIR WEAKEAST/MOST VALUABLE UNIT! instead of using anything like flanking or misdirection), requiring you to use tactics, units other than rock paper or scissors and above all, your powers called ruses (of course) such as calling in fake bases, fake attacks, hiding all units in a sector and so on. I am largely impressed and hope the finished product brings some final polishing on an already impressive take on your usual WWII rts. I have heard some people complain about the artillery in the game, it coming down to eventually an artillery spam across the map until one person loses so much money as they just can't keep up, which I haven't had happen to me, but if thats the case I'll certainly concur. Am looking forward to this release.
In the near future i'll post some more stuff regarding my experience with bad company 2 and hopefully metro 2033.
For now I am off to the land of refilled drink glasses and the haze known as "Drunken Wii"
Is going to want to rip off his head in the morning
