Morning Discussion

Jan 06, 2009 8:33am CST
Frankly, I have no idea what's going on in my subconscious these days. All I have is a vague notion that my recent dreams have left me content, and a fuzzy suspicion that the last one was primarily centered around the presence of root beer in my fridge.

And with no transition whatsoever, I've run into a small snag with Fallout 3--I don't want it to end. I know I can go back and replay and different quests and so forth, but still. So instead, I beat Prince of Persia last week, and now I'm playing Penny Arcade Ep. 2.

I haven't felt that way about a game since, oh, whenever Ico came out on PS2. After getting to the last area, I held off on beating it for almost two years, just saving it for a rainy day. I tried to do something similar with Shadow of the Colossus, to take things slow and maybe beat a boss or two a day, but I couldn't help myself. I finished fast:(
