  Dragon Ages..

  
  
  
  Absolutely love Oracle Of Ages. Finished Seasons a while ago but didn't bother to record anything..Oh well. Ages will be drawing my attention for the next little while. If you have not played this game and don't wish to be spoiled do not watch.
  
  I've put about 20 hours into Dragon Age: Origins so far and I am very impressed so far even though I never planned on even buying the game at first. One of the best things about it is the freedom of choice - you are free to customize your character as you see fit. You are also allowed to make your own decisions, unlike many other rpgs. If you want to kill everyone in your path you can. If you don't want someone tagging along you are free to send them away. However this makes the main character kind of dull. The character is essentially a shell that is capable of making his / her own decisions but that's about it. He / she can't talk or make any gestures that other characters can but this is to be expected.
  
  Character development is pretty deep. You can talk to them on a individual basis and learn more about them, which is very interesting(Morrigan in particular). By talking to them their affection meter either goes up or down, depending on what you say to them. You can offer them gifts which brings their approval up by a lot if they love your gift. Because the main character is the one calling the shots and is usually the one to be addressed by other characters the others don't usually have a chance to be the center of attention so they add their 2 cents in, which can also affect their affection if you do something they disagree with. I am only playing on Normal and am enjoying combat so far. I decided to make my character a blood mage with arcane magic. I only got it a while ago and it works pretty well so far. One thing that annoys me though is the lack of re spawns..Leveling is difficult when theres only a set number of enemies around.
  
  Overall the game is pretty fun. It is surprising how many glitches made it in considering the amount of time the game has been in development though.

  I Had Lobster...

  And it was disgusting. I was really hoping that lobster tasted different then other seafood since I HATE seafood but it didn't...Like a mix of salt water with extreme bitterness.
  
  I am getting Dragon Age today so I'll let you know my impressions eventually. It looks really good from trailers and reviews and stuff. Anyone else have it? Let me know your impressions.

  Level 41 - Thunder Force

  Level 41 - Thunder Force - A series of side-scrolling action games for the Commodore 64, Genesis and Saturn.
  
  I really like the name for this level even if the reference isn't that great. This level took a realllllly long time.
