Damn...block leave is coming to an end. I'll admit that i had my fair share of fun though. Don't think i went out enough, but at least i enjoyed my...conveniences...to the point that it became "normal" again. By next week i'd be wishing it were back i think.
Hmm..let's see what were the fun stuff i did..oh yes i played mahjong! Won $14.60 off my 04s15 classmates..feeling a bit guilty about that..=x My luck always seemed so horrible at first, but when i started to draw cards..woohoo sia. Went to french restaurant too! Where the escargots were like..almost 20bucks for half dozen. Woah..$3.20 a pop. And the rack of lamb was almost $40. Then again, food in New York was almost just as expensive anyway. So that made it feel better..somewhat.
I also watched "Underworld: Evolution"! A movie with lots of action and fighting and blood and gore..heads were coming off everywhere. Well, they're vampires i suppose. If you stabbed them through their heart (or rather, where their heart is supposed to be) they'd still live. Oh wait, but there's that "oak-stake-through-the-heart" thingee, right..Anyway the movie was, all in all, quite shallow and lacked the depth and continuity of the first one. Had less logic too. The main fun was in seeing the main characters get stronger..haha that was like pure SEX, man. Oh and there WAS sex too..but it was censored. You can't expect much from an M18 i guess. Although i won't be surprised if some 18 year olds thought it was a BIG thing or something.
I've been playing Fable too..a very fun game, though it seemed pretty kiddy at first. I would put its realism and interactivity as somewhere between Neverwinter Nights and the upcoming Oblivion (NWN being the worst and Oblivion the best)..Can't be bothered to say more, but if you like RPGs you should get it! Though it's a pretty short game too, as RPGs go. I'd estimate that you can complete it within 60hours with the occasional help of a walkthrough for first timers..40hours if you already know what you're doing. And maybe even under 15hours if you rush and don't try any side quests.
That still doesn't compare to Baldur's Gate II and Elder Scrolls III (inclusive of side quests) which could both go over 200hours if you try to do everything. Then again, that's for secondary school kids with whole months off during school vacations..not for block leave people with just a few days. Argh i just got my posting today too..SISPEC infantry DOTZ. Quite far from that 9 to 5, huh..ahwell i shall see what happens.
The countdown has started. I fear the depression will start setting in again.
