Wow today was Christmas and I was quite forced to go to a really quite boring Christmas party (no offense to the host) and ate a small lunch because I had just eaten a large breakfast and while I was there I alternated between drinking Coke, playing Pokemon and staring into outer space but I then again I was used to this and got through it without much (if any) complaint although I guess my ego could have altered my memory and changed my perception of my patience but anyway I digress as I was saying right after the 3 hour wait my mum asked if we should go to BSC to ask about the Wii (which is kind of a long story but basically we’re looking for a ‘special’ type of Wii which can play ‘special’ games and it so happens that the game store in BSC might have one of the very few in Malaysia) and when we got there I had some orange juice and then we went to the shop and lo they had 2 sets left at an extremely inflated price (though now that I think of it it really wasn’t too bad) but with an extra set of controllers and 13 free games so my dad (bless him) bought it on the spot and we brought it home and set it up and so now I have something fun to do until school starts up next week but anyways this has been a rather great Christmas so yeah Merry Christmas to anyone who even bothers to read this and congratulations on reading so far into a paragraph which doesn’t even have a comma let alone a full stop and which probably violates a hundred grammatical rules but I’m finding it hard to sleep so why not be hyper?

GOW!
Let me tell you a story. Not a particularly interesting one, nor a funny one, nor sad, nor thoughtful. In fact, I’d say it’s really boring, unless for some reason you like hearing a story about how one human who likes gaming has to sit for over a year drooling at the fantastic PC games coming out but not being able to play them, but finally managing to get a graphics card (NVidia Geforce 8500 GT, btw), and playing some of those games at last.
Well, skip the story if you like. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.
Alright, story over.
Anyways, I played Bioshock, and man was it good. For a while anyways. Then it started to get kinda repetitive. I mean, all you do is perform fetch quests. Over and over again. Imagine this :
Quest :
Go through the door in front of you.Woo, easy! And then, about 10 metres from the door, poison gas enters, kills all the trees, and for some inexplicable reason, locks up the door until it is completely impenetrable. Thus you are supposed to revive the trees, which somehow is linked to opening the door, but to do so you need to collect 7 samples of Item A, B and X, which can only be found by through a suddenly exposed hole and killing about half an hours worth of enemies before managing to find everything. AND THEN THE FRIGGIN CURE TAKES ANOTHER 5 MINUTES TO WORK, leaving you to survive against a horde of enemies that basically turn up from nowhere (if the exit is blocked and the entrance is barred… never mind).
Rinse, repeat and dry clean.
But now I’ve got Gears of War, critically acclaimed and probably sucky in my eyes. We’ll see.
