but i'm eating ice cream now.

yay comfort!!!

Because of one good conversation? That completely negates my shitty week?

it doesn't negate the week, but it does show that the WHOLE week wasn't shit.

cheer up, dear.

Does someone need a hug?

A bare-ass bear-hug methinks.

are you offering, ab?

haha everyone needs hugs. there's no bad time for a hug.

i like hugs.
specially the squishy kinds.

Finally stopped being lazy and learnt the blues scale in each key.

Having my PS3 hooked up to the internet is nice, because now I can play demos of games and see if they appeal to me or not. I'm not yet decided on Uncharted, but Folklore was kind of a disappointment. I also didn't enjoy Fracture or Tony Hawk's Proving Ground (I'm glad I've stopped getting those games), and despite the improvements made to Alone In The Dark on the PS3, it's still a shitty game. On the other hand, I continue to love Dead Space, and Valkyria Chronicles surprised me with how great it is. I'm not sure if I should play the MGS4 demo or not, since I already know I have to play the game either way.

Folklore disappoints in what way? I'm somewhat interested in the game.

I only played the first of the two worlds in the demo, but the combat wasn't very satisfying. The four face buttons are assigned to "cards"; each of which summons a different monster. One card just acts as a "slash" attack, and the others vary from blocking single attacks to shooting bubbles at airborne enemies, and huge slow slashes, and stuff like that. After you kill every single enemy, you have to hold R1 and jerk the Sixaxis upwards, which gets annoying; especially when you kill a bigger enemy, because then you have to jerk the controller upwards multiple times whenever the enemy's "spirit" thing flashes red. When I did it to the boss of the world, it felt like it took an entire fucking minute to do it. That's annoying, and I also had to go on the internet to figure out how to kill the final boss. The game technically tells you how to kill each enemy, but you have to figure it out by looking in this "picture book" in the pause screen, and it's annoying. I could make out one thing I had to do, but trying to identify what attacks to use when by looking at a picture book is frustrating.

Maybe the demo will grow on me, but I'm not as excited about it now as I used to be.

Went and had a few drinks with a friend today. It was rather relaxing.

I wish I could have some drinks.

You were supposed to drink with me.
