Evening Reading
by Garnett Lee, Feb 02, 2011 5:00pm PSTGood Wednesday to you. Mine started out great with some hands-on time with the Witcher 2 over at Atari's offices. Wish I could share that with you sooner but the embargo on coverage is the 24th. It's worth the wait, though. Along with Reach, I finally started the Witcher over the weekend (it was a glorious weekend of gaming for me). It's impressive what they were able to do with Bioware's aurora engine--technology created for 2002's Neverwinter Nights. Granted, the Witcher packs its own rendering engine, but what really stands out to me--from a mere six hours of play--is how well they're able to use relatively dated tools to make interesting characters in a pretty detailed world and then tell good stories. For as quick as we are to get excited about tech, there's a helluva lot more that makes a great game.
LOL, after that stunning revelation, here's the top video game news of the day on the Shack:
So I'm going to Japan to snowboard! My passport should be coming in any day now. I need to book a flight and I'm wondering the best airline to fly with. I'm in upstate New York, so I'm also wondering what the best/shortest flightpath would be as well.
I'm going with a snowboarding camp so it should be pretty amazing. They'll show us around and whatnot. I guess the only pain in the ass is that I have celiac disease. I found a couple of restaurant cards that have written Japanese explaining my condition. I hope no further clarification is required. :P
If we have some time to roam, what do you suggest I do? We're landing in New Chotise Airport in Sapporo. We'll be riding at Mt. Niseko.
