May 2008

Journal Entry: Thu May 1, 2008, 6:20 AM
May 2008 already!

I haven't worked for a week and a half! They're tweaking a lot of things for the show I'm working on, so production on the storyboards are on hold. So meanwhile, what do I do? NOTHING
Very odd since I draw more at work, for fun, than I do here with all this free time. I guess waiting after something gives me a lot of inspiration. I've been reading a lot of mangas. One of my favorite discoveries is artist Shin'Ichi Sakamoto.

All this means I've been able to play GTA4 this week. Fun game. Wish I had a widescreen TV (damn iMac screen won't allow you to plug anything to it...there's a workaround, but there's delay, so it's useless....and it works with my Cintiq, but the colors are a little flat, and I don't want to waste my 2500$ investment on videogames). It simply feels like any old GTA 3, Vice City, San Andreas, with a fresh new coat of wax and polish. Everything runs rather smoothly, there are fixes to old gameplay (evading cops is harder now), the characters are all a LOT of fun (probably my personal high point to the game) and...well, I would say the experience is similar to the first time I played GTA3, seeing the sheer size of the places you could go, the rain effects, the sounds everywhere, the immersiveness: it's as poignant as that time.

So I've been playing Team Fortress 2 again. Oddly I seem to be getting killed in single shots a lot lately, without being hit by critical attacks, with my character at full HP, while all the same time, my demoman weapons seem to be a lot weaker. I get a feeling there are a lot cheaters who managed to pass through the cheat-radars. UGH they also made a new update with the fun GoldRush map, and the new medic weapons & achievements. So we get a lot of medics who have no idea how to play medics...and seems there's a cheat to get all the weapons without grinding through the achievements to obtain them. Waddaya want. Though I can be a pretty damn good medic myself (with no exageration), I'm not really interested with wasting time with those achievements. The medic was just fine the way it was. : )

Enough about games anyways. Keep drawing!
