Life, The Universe and Gaming!
So, it's been a while... a long while since I last updated. Nothing really interesting has been going on around my life here in VA.
Digital Overload was back in March. That was a hell of a lot of fun! Tony and I road tripped up there, it was great to see all of our friends again this year. Although... due to no practice and getting stuck with a teammate who couldn't play for crap... The Lone Rangers were eliminated in the 1st Round of the Gears Of War 2 tourney. But regardless of that, we had fun and that was the important thing.
The Virginia Renaissance Faire is getting ready to start rehearsals. I auditioned for scripted cast and have been given the Understudy for the Main Hero Character. That is fine by me, as I am more looking forward to being a part of the Fight Cast. One thing I always loved about the Renaissance Faire was the sword fights and once I had my first taste of on stage sword fighting, I was hooked. There is nothing quite like dance across the stage, live steel ringing out as the blades collide. It is exhilarating!
And I'm getting new boots made for Faire this year. Uber comfortably leather moccasins. The guy makes them custom fit to your foot and leg.
So, I'll be starting that up soon and I'm looking forward to it.
On the gaming front... I've been playing a lot more Gears of War 2 lately as my friends and I worked on Horde Mode and the new achievements. Yes... I am an achievement whore. It's not so much about the points though as it is about completion.
I bought and finished Halo Wars too. I really enjoyed the game, more so than I thought I would! I have always been a die hard RTS fan. I love RTS games because of the amount of control you have. Until Halo Wars, I had not ever played an RTS on the 360 that I liked. The control scheme never worked out very well so I always played the games on the PC. I am still hoping Halo Wars will come to the PC so I can see if it will be as good there. We shall see!
PC Games... I bought, played and beat the Campaign mode of Dawn of War 2. Got to play some Co-Op campaign with my friend RJ, which was fun. The game dynamics of campaign mode really hooked me, but the repetitious missions were meh... But all in all the game was a lot of fun to play.
I just recently got accepted into the Beta for Battlefield Heroes! w00t! I only played a little bit of it, but I love it so far! Its Cartoony, and a little goofy, but its fun! And as I understand it, it'll be free when it comes out! The only paid part is if you want to upgrade your character with clothing or items. Some are permanent and some are only temporary. And you have to pay for them with real money, which is kinda dumb... but hey, they need to make money on it somehow!
Well, that's all for now. I'll update again when I have something to say!
