Mind and Crumpet

So.

( I think by this point I just have to accept that there'll never be another Sands of Time. )

( Spoilers are here. )

If you got through all that, I have a present! It's the comic commissioned by Ubisoft from Penny Arcade. It's lovely, and simple, and indicates some of the backstory created for the villains without spoilers. Heeeere you go.

After three weeks without internet in my apartment, I have learned an important lesson.

It is - and you must listen closely - it is that you must, whenever possible, read the instructions.

I could have really used that twenty-five dollars.

Sigh.

In any case, you may have noticed the tag, which refers to the fact that I finally picked up Mirror's Edge and - well, it wasn't everything I was hoping it would be. No spoilers after the cut, but there is a great deal of pretentious niche-gamer rage.

Goddamnit, DICE, you make all these promises, you get my hopes up, I invest my unwavering faith in your commitment to making a new and exciting IP, and ( you pull this shit. )

I'm going to go play Sands of Time again to mitigate the rage.

Goddamnit.

...At least Fallout 3 is awesome. Pretty much exactly what I'd hope a 3D Falloutverse would look like and full of care, detail and love. I might talk about that later; it'll be nice to not be complaining about something.

*Oh god. After this, the new Prince of Persia game had better cure fucking cancer or I just can't take it any more.
