Nothing new to post today. I keep wanting to do a more in-depth, thought-provoking post but I haven't gotten a good idea yet. Still searching. As for gaming news to talk about, there really hasn't been much. Not really a shocker in late December but still kind of a bummer.
In the meantime, I have been playing a lot of Metal Gear Solid HD Collection (early Christmas present) and World of Warcraft. I started with MGS2, easily my most-played game of the series and found it holds up really well. Some of the mechanics are certainly dated and the cutscenes are both ridiculous in length and some of the most confusing and pretentious in the series' history but I still really like it. I did a Normal run and it kicked my ass more than I'd like to admit. Seems I'm not quite as good at those games anymore.
Holding off on MGS3 and Peace Walker until after Christmas, in case I get something I'd rather play first, instead of something I've already finished in another form. I might just go after a full 1000/1000 in Metal Gear too. Some of the achievements are pretty tricky (all dog tags! all food types!) but it sounds like a fun challenge. Will have to see how that turns out.
As for WoW, I was inspired to get back into it after I remembered I had foolishly locked myself in with the Annual contract thing. I got too caught up in the excitement around Blizzcon and signed myself up, even though I didn't necessarily play anymore or have the money to play. Now, I feel like I have to play so I'm not throwing money away.
It isn't so bad. Rolled another hunter (probably my sixth one by this point...) and chose to do two things I had never done: level a Horde from 1-85 and level on a PvP server. Of course, the random server I picked is pretty much dead but that's how it goes sometimes. Been enjoying it surprisingly well over the last week or so (and already 32!). My play might taper off a bit when I get new stuff for Christmas but I'll keep playing.
Guess that's it. Will try really hard to avoid another one of these for awhile and get back to the point of this blog. Happy holidays!
