(no subject)

I played some more Dragon's Dogma this afternoon, and I liked it a bit better this time. I think that last time my mood wasn't brilliant (I'd been travelling a lot and so was knackered both times and I honestly can't brain when I'm that tired).

Fighting stuff all the time is annoying (I just did the escort mission to Gran Soren and NO), but I have that problem with RPGs anyway. Also more fun now I know how to use my secondary weapon (a bow and arrows). It would be more fun if the camera didn't go screwy and I had more time to aim at flying enemies/wolves but eh. That's a vague niggle, and I'm sure I'll get the hang of it eventually (like I did with aiming guns in Mass Effect, ahahahahahahahahahaha *chokes* *falls over*).

I took some pics of my Arisen and her main pawn because I can and I'm sad, and I wanted references for if I ever draw them (I also have bad phone pics of most of my Shepards. I'm sure I'm not alone in this).

When I last left the game, Quina is missing* (I don't know if that's a main quest but I guess I'll do it anyway), and me and my guys were lost in Gran Soren because I was looking for the inn, and I don't know where it is (also because the mini-map doesn't show significant places/shops until you've discovered them yourself, which I think is really bad). Also nearly every door is locked, so I sort of got Silent Hill flashbacks ;)

*That will not stop amusing me that that is her name because I expect to see someone who looks like this, not like this. Though now I post these, I wonder if it's a shout out? *shrugs*

(probably not).

In other news, I accidentally found the third book in the Dark Tower series (The Waste Lands), so maybe that will spur me onto finishing The Drawing of the Three (I'm about a third of the way through, which is further than I got last time, but I haven't read any for months, and the thought of restarting AGAIN (for a THIRD time) just makes me want to groan loudly. So continuing it probably is).

I also found a game guide for Lost Odyssey and that was amazing. I didn't even know there was one! (That makes me want to replay it even more).

Also my phone is in for repairs because apparently the microphone is fucked. I have had that phone less than three months. I don't know if it's a common fault with HTC phones, but I thought they were supposed to be a good make, and I'm not very amused. (I was also not amused because I went to the nearest shop, took it in, couldn't leave it because I hadn't backed up recently and had to go back the next day). So yaaaay. The phone shop gave me a loan phone to replace my actual one, but it was the oldest Samsung I've ever seen (it didn't even have a camera!**) But I discovered I could use my old phone so that's what I'm doing.

**I've been using camera phones for ten years now. Not having one is really freaking weird.

Anyway, I think that's it for now. I need to go and get some sleep.
