It's already the end of the month! I didn't get much done at all this month, and it makes me sad...BUT, I've been having some fun. I got to hang out with my close friends early this month right before they all went back to their respective colleges. League of Legends' Dominion mode finally came out and I've been playing that with my friend whenever we have the chance. Rusty Hearts came out and is being hosted on Steam as well. I started playing it and I happened to learn the theme for the Character Select. This has lead me to playing some more piano as I've been neglecting it for producing music and practicing guitar recently. I bought Dragon Age 2 and am loving it. The dialogues are quirky, humorous, and interesting to listen to. I finally finished Torchlight a few nights ago (after 20 hours of gameplay) only to find out that there's more after the ending. Also, the ending of Torchlight sucked...It was pretty much a "oh, I've defeated the main boss, but there seems to be more amiss and I must prepare myself" self-dialogue and that was it. Oh well, I guess I mostly enjoyed the game, but it makes me that much more excited for Diablo 3.
There's actually a lot of games to look forward to this upcoming fall/winter and next year: Dark Souls, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, Diablo 3, Phantasy Star Online 2 (I really hope this gets brought over to America), Mass Effect 3, Battlefield 3, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword, etc. I'm hoping for some better games to come out on the Nintendo 3DS. In fact, I hope a new version of the 3DS comes out since I'm still not convinced of buying one. There's also been some great games that came out recently that I haven't got yet (mainly because I'm still working on older games I haven't finished) such as Dead Island and Deus Ex: Human Revolution.
I'm still looking for a job right now, and I'm searching to no avail. It seems the open slots for positions in companies this year is a lot worse than last year for some reason. Looking at the market and the economic movements (mainly on how China's economics is bringing down the global market), I'd say we're slipping back into a recession (or we never got out of it). So far the time being, I'm working on music for one project and sound effects for another. Both projects plan to be published on X-box Live Arcade, so I'm working hard to give the quality of a published game. I've been wanting to work on my own projects, but I've either been busy or lazy these past few weeks and focus mainly on job searching, practicing guitar, writing for the main blog, or working on those two projects. I work all day and by night time I just want to relax and so I've been getting back into reading manga and I've been playing games. I need to stop being lazy and start prioritizing my time. I haven't been going to the gym as I once did very often religiously each week and I do minimal floor exercises each day. There's so much I want to do, but never enough time in the day to do them. Most of my day is spent researching and writing my blog for Superpad Unplugged, though I'm not convinced that my writing has improved all that much. Oh well, I'll find a way to get thing sorted out.
