Week Progress 3/10/14 to 3/16/14 & Updates


Posted on 03/18/2014 at 11:49 AM | Filed Under Blogs

Good job on your goals! I've been stocking my house with fruit instead of candy for my sweet tooth, and trying to eat more veggies and less pasta and processed quick meals. It's hard, because I live by myself (by choice!) and cooking for one isn't a whole lot of fun. It's so much easier to just open a box of mac&cheese than to cook a real dinner.

St. Paddy's Day Gaming

Good choice on Mini Ninjas. I really liked that game, it's pretty easy, boss battles are fairly simple QTEs, but it was cute. Mini Ninja's name is Sho, by the way.

And on to my pet peeve at this time of year: It's PaDDy with two Ds. Yes, it does make a difference. Patrick is the anglicization of the Irish name Padraig, hence PaDDy. Patty is short for Patricia, or is something you put in a bun. I come from a long line of Patricks, all the way back to the potato famine in ireland when they emigrated to New Brunswick, and they've all been called Paddy.

They make a higher profit margin on used games than they do on new games, so unless you specify, you're going to get the used copy. Don't blame the employees, they're just following "guidelines" and if they don't, they get dinged for it. Same with trying to sell you pre-orders and all the other extra crap that they push. I once worked for what was a really nice little local chain of video rentals stores that go bought out by a big corporation. Our manager got fired because we weren't pushing enough of their package deals on our customers (who didn't want them anyway and that's why they came to our store). The entire staff quit in protest, and all they did was bring in people from other stores to staff the place.

So yes, Game Stop sucks, but don't blame the employees for the carppy policies.

Stuff and things and things with stuff.

Three and half weeks of working before my first paycheck hits. And I owe my wonderful landlady oodles for letting me pay my other bills and eat before rent got paid. I'm behind by over a month :(

I don't have a lot of hard drive space left, and no money, either, so I'm ok without the update.

Oh, dear. here we go again. I wish people could just learn to enjoy things for what they are and not try and shove an agenda that I'm not interested in down my throat.

Yes, yes it is. I'll finish it, though. And then I'll sell it to KnightDriver so he can be disappointed, too. Misery loves company!

Ever played Dark Cloud 2?

Yeah, I've been going through in my head how I'd redo the game so it would actually be fun. I'm leaning more on the RPG end of the spectrum rather than the FPS end, I hate FPS games!

It's not horrible, because I'm still playing (or maybe I'm just a a masochist), but it's not great, either. I did finally get a better lens, which has lessened the frustration a bit.

You seem to be in the minority with Bravely Default, most other people that I know relly like it. I have no opinion, not having the harware to play it on.
