Misa annoys me because her character was just a throwaway. It had such potential to be interesting but instead it was cliche.
So I saw Children of Men today with Essner. This is a movie I never would have seen if Essner hadn't invited me. I saw the preview and it didn't look all that... interesting... all in all, though, it was alright. I wasn't angry at it, or annoyed at it, or felt it was a waste of my time. It was just a movie with alot of people getting shot and one really long scene of people running about and getting killed with no cuts... I dunno. It definately wasn't my thing, but it was fine. A strong but mediocre showing. Man, this is like... the most useless review ever.
Star Fox Command, though... not thrilling me at all. Granted, I've only put in about an hour or maybe two into it, and I mostly got it for the online multiplayer (I'm a furry, I have online furry friends, and oddly enough, many furries like Star Fox, it makes sense to me to have access to it... I base its popularity mostly on the amount of Star Fox porn I've seen, though.), but of course I had to try the single player. I like the concept of this tactical map where I send in particular team members to attack particular groups of enemies and stuff... but I dunno... they didn't do anything interesting with it from the couple of levels I played... in fact, they added a fog of war that just served to frustrate me further. On a normal RTS, you can see things like terrain and still do some planning and stuff and try to think out where your enemy probably is (Hint: Probably where the resources are). In Star Fox Command there is no terrain to speak of. I mean, I guess there is... if I engage the enemy over water, I fight them over water, but it doesn't really affect anything. So when you fog of war everything basically all it's doing is making me have to play the level once to figure out where everyone is and again to beat it. And that's artifically extending the length of the game and that makes me mad. Also, the "arena" levels were a nice difference to mix it up in Star Fox 64, but the more traditional on-rails levels were alot more fun, in general... and this is nothing but little mini "arena" stages as you engage each enemy on the map. I think there might be some "chase" style engagements later, but... bleh... it doesn't catch me. Also, there's no reason why I should have to control the action parts with the stylus. But eh, like I said, I picked it up so I have the option of multiplayer and it was under 20 bucks, so I'm not angry or anything... very glad I didn't buy it at full price like I was thinking of for awhile.
I also started playing through Prey on the 360 during my spare time. I still like the game. It's fun, even if you are completely invincible. I love Tommy's voice. It just feels... so... terrible. His voice isn't annoying or anything, but everything he says is so... overly-dramatic? It makes me laugh. Heh. Anyway, it's taking away from my Uno time, dammit! It actually tracks exactly how many of each type of card you play. I've played something like 1048 number cards since I started playing Uno on my 360. Heh.
I also think my mood has been picking up. I haven't been as depressed like... yesterday and today. Here's hoping I didn't just jinx it.
