Travel, Work, and Games
16 years ago
This week begins a rather busy period. This weekend I'll be venturing to Chicago once again to attend MFF. There are several friends who I'm used to seeing who won't be going this time, which is a shame. But there are still some more. Without people to hang with until after hours, there's a chance I could continue a steady stream of work during the daytime hours. After that I'll be spending Thanksgiving in sunny Florida. Mahrkale is visiting college friends down there and it'll be a splendid time to make sure I remember how to swim. There's also a slight chance I could be spending part of December in New York, but we'll play that by ear. Either way, I'm going to get as much work done as I can.

The project I'll be doing next is a simple one. I'll probably do a nice detailed black and white number as a bit of a break from the full color exercise that was my last project. I decided a new Flounce and Persia project should win out over the little Beth story I've also had batting around in my mind, since it's been longer since I've done anything with them. After drawing one muscly wolf after another, a slim mouse is a welcome departure.
The holiday game blitz is on, and I've decided not to feel rushed about it. Normally, there's so much good stuff coming out you want to partake of it all, but I'm refusing to let it bite into my work schedule, especially with all the travel going on. I'm sort of building a little title collection that I plan to work on throughout the beginning of next year. At the recommendation of many people I've started on Dragon Age and I can tell it'll be a game that can soak up a lot of time and part of your soul. It's one of those games I can easily put aside and do something I can beat in a week or less, and then go back to it. Assassin's Creed 2 takes place during one of my favorite historical periods, so I'm interested in seeing how well they've smoothed out the problems with the first game. And then it's probably Mass Effect 2, Bioshock 2... Modern Warfare 2 can wait. For some reason I feel no huge drive to beat that game, even though it'll probably only take two days. I still wish games didn't lean so heavily on the multiplayer aspect. Oh well.

In the meantime, I'll be killing zombies in between doing different art pieces and homework.
It really is a small world after all XD
As always, I look forward to seeing the completed project. It's always good to take a break from the norm every now and then.
Dragon Age hasn't really peaked my interest, but considering all the rave reviews for it, I may look into it more. I'm dying to get my hands Assassins Creed 2 and Bioshock 2. And Call of Duty 2....let's just say there are moments that will will make you say "What the fuck" and "Holy Shit" out loud. And I'm not talking about the infamous airport level.
mice. yaaaaaaaaaaaaay
Anyway. take it easy and have a great trip.
those games are awesome.
