i got my space adventure finished. i'm debating posting it on the absolute write forums for critique. i'm so paranoid, and doubly so because i want to submit to an ezine. i got davidnarby and penelope_stone to read it and they liked it. i did some more edits to it today, and i think it's as good as i'm going to get it without critique from someone who has better writing skills than me. and because it's going for submission, i can't just post it on the web. oh well.
in other news: i played hard rain for a bit. my verdict - it would be better if it was a movie. it lacks the essential ingredient that makes a game a game; fun. it's not fun at all.
i'm playing splinter cell conviction at the moment, and really enjoying it. but i think their writer got a bit carried away with them-self. half the dialogue is too wordy / badly structured to follow. i found myself zoning out and at the end of the scene going "i have no idea what they just said." but that's a minor thing. i love sneaking around (even if i'm really bad at it) and getting sneaky kills on guys (even if i feel bad for it - i'd like to have the patience to play the whole game without killing anyone.)
emmm. i'm still looking for a job. i applied for a computer room tech job in a language school. i would absolutely love if they called me for interview and offered me the job. i always wanted to be a tech. i'd see the ones in CIT doing their jobs and i was like: i could do their job better than they are doing it. but sure. we'll wait and see.
so, i think that's all my news.
Oh, look how warm your room is.
ReplyDeleteThat's cool your still applying for jobs, hopefully people will start getting back to you soon. I'll have to read your new edit of your story.
