In the last 3 days there's a lot of awesome things have occurred but after tonight I'm feeling...a bit bummed to be honest. Not sure why or how to express it I mean usually gloom thoughts yield to better nights of sleep for myself but I wish not to contemplate too much over it. To sum up though Thursday I went to a friends place to play a round of Pandemic which considering the difficulty I'm surprised we won (about a turn away from losing completely). Friday I hung out with a friend for a bit and from there went to Richmond Comics meet 2 new people and we played Frag along with 7 Wonders.
Frag is a game developed by Steve Jackson, same individual who did Munchkin, so you can already expect good things from it as a result. We played a single round and I won which I was quite pleased in my skill in predicting re spawn dice rolls and gibbing the person over and over again. Basically did the reverse of a legitimate strategy. After that we played two rounds of 7 Wonders in which I didn't win either of those but a fun game none the less. Its basically a civilization building game that focuses on building up resources, constructing armies, gathering resources, researching and so forth through a drafting system. Overall it was pretty good.
As for today I watched some HoNcast which one match was particularly good, watched the next episode of X-Men the anime...which I might drop its alright but nothing fantastic. Well correction it was quite good but now its not really catching my interest. Though on the same accord though it comes out on the weekend and I tend to watch it while eating dinner so I might dunno yet. After that Sat down for a few hours and played my way through Portal 2.
Which finally leads to my point as to why I'm bummed. Reason 1 I found out earlier today some friends were out hanging out for about 7 hours and didn't invite me along to join them... so ya I'm kind like....?????. Same group I played the board games with earlier this week. It could possible be due to the fact that I don't particularly like playing one game with them but I'm not going to make any assumptions. Just partly elude that 2 weeks ago the thought of one of them going 'oh ya we definitely need to do this again' is mentioned for a Saturday event, then epic board game followed by no heads up. Not going to fuss over unsaid words but gotta vent by some medium which blogging and talking to myself is nice for that.
As for possible solutions already worked on one this evening which was already in the works which was finishing Portal 2 single player. Earlier this weekend a friend and myself trucked through multi in a couple hours and felt it fit to finish off single. While I must admit that the ending for single was about on par with multi-player I felt a bit disappointed that after 12 hours the game was complete...
The comedy I'll of course reflect back on but all and all the only thing left to do is get achievements and perhaps beat the game again for amusement or speed sake. It kind of left a bad taste in my mouth looking back at my purchase though. I look at the menu and there's two options still Single and Multiplayer (for the most part). There's no challenge maps, no import map option, no SDK...so ya stuck in the water. Have to admit bit disappointed almost like purchasing a ActivisionBlizzard title. Knowing valve though I'm sure they'll come out with this stuff later but still feel a bit cheated... Though if they bring as much free content as they did with TF2 I can't complain.
Thoughts are kind of roaming at the moment. I might read for a bit to take my mind of things or contemplate till my skull collapses on itself. Tomorrow won't be much better due to possible multiple family related activities that I may have to attend who knows. Gonna head off to bed for the time being. Night all!
