It sucks that it’s tomorrow at noon but there’s nothing I can really do about it. Seeing as it’s a fill in the blank test for Intro to the Internet I can’t say I’m overly stressed about it either. I lent my textbook to a friend who doesn’t have one there’s not a lot of studying I can do right now so I thought I’d give Halo 3 a shot. Mostly, however, it shoots me. While I possess the necessary FPS skills to get through Portal* unscathed I am still a bullet magnet when tasked with taking out the enemy. There’s a reason I play as Engineers and Medics in team-based games. It ‘s nice to have a way to contribute that compensates for my less-than-stellar aim. Wiimote shooting? Point Blank series? Time Crisis? I am near godly. I’m competent with mouse look but this controller aiming thing is not going well :(
Since I keep trying to move my view with the wrong analog stick I think it’s time I try some different control schemes to see if that helps any. I don’t expect it to but I can hope! They even have some options for lefties that seem designed with me in mind.
*get this game. NOW. I don’t care if you go for PC or 360 but do it. And don’t read anything about it either! Spoilers are everywhere and I’m glad I got to enjoy it for myself.

mmmm…. did you mention team fortress 2 :P
portals was almost worth the purchase of the orange box alone
Sorry to burst your bubble there but I actually only bought Portal through Steam. With the present CAD->USD conversion it was too good to pass up… and every single person I know was raving about it and dropping spoilers left, right, and centre so I knew I had to get it and pass it soon or the whole thing would be ruined. I know I made the right decision. <3 WCC. It’s my desktop right now and has been all week.
awwwww, the Engineers and Medics line lead me on :P
I had the choice to buy either the Orange Box or PGR4, and I went with PGR4! Tell me I’m still a man… Anyway, I like the song at the end for Portal (even though I never played it), quite possibly one of the endings to any game.
one of the greatest endings*
…no you know what, my last comment stands pretty well on it’s own. :)
My bad, Underseen! I used to play Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory with my brother (he’s the superior engineer and spy though) and that’s where the engineer and medic experience hails from :)
OnePiece, it’s ok. I’ll still talk to you! I didn’t want the rest of Orange Box since I haven’t finished HL2 yet so I cherry picked the most fun I’ve had with my PC in years. We do what we must because we can ;)
heh, gotcha :P
portal was good one time thru but im not sure i could play it thru again anytime soon, so now im in need of something else.
have some friends trying to drag me into WoW, i havent yet, but tempted
