Catching Up

So over this last week I have been insanely busy, probably because it is the typical end of semester crunch time. Either way I didn't post last week because I was overloaded with papers and homework and Easter and all that other stuff that we love to do this time of year like study for finals :D So in an effort to make it up I am going to post a bunch of things in this post. First off on the one free day I had I ended up wasting it away playing Metro 2033.



And to tell you the truth I was really surprised by this game. When I had seen the previews of these games I thought it would be RPG open-ended like Fallout 3 but more realistic, but it turned out to be a mission shooter that was really quite fun. It also had the surprise scare tactic that really worked for the game as you fight your way through the subway system of a post apocalyptic Moscow. You find things that are far beyond normal, and something is coming to destroy you, it is you mission to save your home station. The other thing I found interesting over my week of busyness was I found this cool little script that makes a "Rainbow Worm", found here.

I really love these kind of things it is a nice lil way to look at scripting. Anyway that is the thing I did during the week I shall hate.
