metroid prime and other news

i may or may not have mentioned that i'm playing metroid prime at the moment. and i also may or may not have mentioned that it is the hardest adventure game i have ever played in my entire life. so this is the official announcement that i am giving up on it and am going to play bayonetta instead.
after 17 hours of play i was only half way through metroid. i definitley don't think the designers had intended it to be that long. i just kept getting lost and falling off ledges when i was almost at the top of a room, and being annoyed by the constantly respawning monsters. when you go the wrong way as often as i did you get really annoyed having to kill the same guys over and over again.
so yea. i might go back to it at some stage, but i've had enough of ending the night in a sort of post-rage-quit haze.

also, this weekend, i tried playing rock band drums on hard. it was hard. but i think i managed to get 70% once on one song. or was that bass on hard. yea - i think that was bass. bass on hard is actually somewhat easy. except for when you have to slide you whole hand down one to hit the orange notes. then it just gets confusing.

ooh, yea. i have officially been unemployed for a whole year now. that's kind of mad. i'll be finished draft 2 in about 2 weeks and will start looking for work then. one whole year to get from draft one-point-five to draft two. that seems like a very long time. admittedly, it took me six months to realize i actually had to rewrite the entirety of chapter one. once i figured that out it was smooth sailing.
