GameFly<\/a> shipped me Portal 2<\/b>. I played through a bunch last autumn but had to send it back to get something new (can’t recall what), and now it’s time to get back into it. I’ll say, this is a frustrating game. Like all puzzle games, if you’re stuck, it’s downright shit. However, when you do<\/b> complete a level, it’s a very rewarding feeling. <\/p>\nStill playing Magic Piano<\/b> (by Smule<\/b>). It’s fun and somewhat relaxing. I need that during weeks like these.<\/p>\n
Got two new Yankees shirts. \\m\/ <\/p>\n
Also got Beowulf<\/b> finally. This translation is by Seamus Heaney and I nabbed the illustrated edition. It’s actually a cool edition and I look forward to finally<\/i> reading it. Also on the to-read list, Catching Fire<\/b> (Hunger Games book 2), Sigurd & Gudrun<\/b>, Tolkien’s poem and Game Of Thrones<\/b>. Let’s face it though, that last one is gonna take forever. <\/p>\n
Oh, playing Ys: Oath In Felghana<\/b> on the Vita. Sure, it’s a PSP game, but the ability to pause and run other apps is kinda cool. The game is fun but the difficulty ramps up ridiculously on boss battles. Meh. <\/p>\n
Ahh, forgot to mention that I solved the megaminx and the windmill cube the other day each without algorithms. It’s a good step, makes me feel good about myself and only through this do I really count it as ‘solved’. I started a tutorial on the windmill cube. Editing takes 10x longer than the filming. <\/p>\n
OK, that should be it. Need a vacation from the vacation!!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
Oh vacation, how I loathe thee. I should love vacation but every time it is just full of suckage. BUT, rather than complain, let’s see what’s good. First off, GameFly shipped me Portal 2.
