Let the Games begin~

So I'm back on track on practicing music again.  I've been doing practice sessions, experimenting with recording, and playing piano/guitar a bit more regularly.  Despite all the efforts I'm putting in, I feel that I should've done more this year.  I made good progress with completing games, and I learn a lot for sure; however, I've also accumulated a lot more games and possibly have a larger back-log than before.  I also didn't draw anything other than the Team Fortress 2 picture at the beginning of the year.  I think I need to go back into drawing comics to get myself hyped up about drawing again.  I never got around to making my online profile, but I think I have the materials I want to put up now through the work I did for Camera Obscura.  In any case, I'm putting a lot of work behind me these next two weeks as I relax and enjoy the games I've bought and will be buying as Steam Winter Sales has started today!

This past month, I made progress on a lot of PC games.  I finally got around to playing Shank and surprisingly enjoyed it a lot.  It's a game that you'd have to play to know what it's like as the videos don't really convey the controls and feel of the game the way it does when playing it.  I finally beat Resident Evil Revelations a few nights ago on my 3DS.

It seems IGN didn't really like the story.  I actually really enjoyed it.  The game still holds on to more of its action-orientated combat system of the newer Resident Evil games, but it also feels closer to the originals where they're more scary and put tension on the player.  After completing it, I continued playing Raid mode and really liked how I was able to mow through enemies, find stronger weapons, and level up like in an RPG.  But right now, I practically completed all my 3DS games and crave for a new game.  I'm thinking of getting Code of Princess or Paper Mario Sticker Star, but not sure if I should at the moment as I'm going to be spending quite a bit on Steam Winter Sale games.

This past week, I've been feeling some odd pain in my lower left abdomen.  Two nights ago, it got really bad and it got me worried.  I'm not sure if it's a muscle spasm or if I have a lot of air trapped or what.  I'm feeling a lot better today than earlier this week, but I still feel a bit off which worries me.  Hopefully it's nothing serious and nothing I have to worry about.

In any case, I'm off to finish the remaining work I have and start enjoying my binge on gaming for the next two weeks.  Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year everyone!
