I finished devil may cry last night. i found the last 2 missions utterly frustrating. the second last is set up so that you battle all the bosses that you have already battled twice. it seems that capcom ran out of interesting ideas, but i guess people who prefer battles would like it. i prefer puzzles. the last battle was stupidly hard. hard to the point where i got the guy down to one bar of life and then couldn't hit him any more because he started jumping all over the place and casting spells and being generally annoying. the only reason i managed to beat him was because of an item i had, not because of any combos or weapons. i roll my eyes at that game.
ah well. i then went on to uncharted2. i think i'll have fun with this game, once the controls sink in. the first mission is unlike anything i've played before (not that i've played that many games) but i was impressed with the way they structured it. and drake is, as always, so much fun.
writing is going well - i got three scenes done yesterday. they were about 500 words each, but still. i should be finished ch. 3 today. ch. 3 is about 3,000 words - which for me is pathetically short - i have scenes longer than that (ok - almost). so i may have to shuffle it into chs. 2 and 4. or maybe i'll leave it, because it does stand nicely on its own - a wrap up to act 1.
i don't have much other news. going to london on friday for mcm expo. the excitement hasn't really sunk in yet. i don't think it will until i'm standing in the queue waiting to go in.
