GTA made me unconsciously size up cars as they trundled by.

Katamari Damacy made me unconsciously sort everything around me by size so I could start working out an optimal roll-up path.

Shadow of the Colossus is not making me unconsciously look for hairy surfaces on nearby tall objects. Discuss.

I think I've gotten the hang of this game. The game has sensed this, and has upped its meanness. The whole game is just mean... not in a cruel way, just a brutal one. I'm a little confused at the alternation between sweeping, beautiful landscapes and frantic, desperate violence, each more or less exclusive of the other. Of course now that I put it in so many words I think of many recent big-budget Asian action/adventure movies I've seen in the last five years. Does this work in a video game? I am not sure.

My mood has been rollercoastering since some time before everyone went home. Doubt and optimism duking it out more than ever. When I'm actively working and absorbed, or talking with someone about the whole thing, I feel great, and confident. When I'm alone, *foomp* comes the rain.

This month is the month of the office appearing, unless the seed-capital effort completely fails. I will feel consistently better when it's done.

After re-playing Ratchet & Clank 2 to get all the bonuses and skill points, whenever I was walking down the street I'd keep looking up to estimate if the airplanes were in range. Kinda scary to realize, actually.

I know how you feel.

It's one of the reasons why occasionally I like sticking around the office later than I should, but then the people around here leave....

responsibility.

The whole doubt/optimism things a normal cycle. You should ask daerr about the depths of dispair he has seen from me, and the head-rush highs from the days when we really win.

You are doing fine.
