shade184This week, I'm going to be trying out the game S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl.
It's apparently an open-world shooter with RPG elements (sounds a lot like Far Cry 2, if you ask me :D) with a rather large game world. To quote the IGN AU review:
"The very first thing you'll notice is that S.T.A.L.K.E.R.'s world is big. Scratch that. It's f%!*&ing huge. RPG players, who earned their stripes playing Oblivion or Morrowind, are used to this scale."
I can't wait. I love huge worlds.
By the way, S.T.A.L.K.E.R. stands for "Scavenger, Trespasser, Adventurer, Loner, Killer, Explorer, Robber."
Let's just hope it runs on my compy. And yes, I know there are other games in the series. I'm deliberately starting with the first one.
This evening was great. I got to hang out with Jess and her boyfriend Lewis. We stayed at home, had some pizza and watched a movie. I gotta do this more often. (I'm really quite impressed with Lewis. Most of Jess's other boyfriends have been pricks, and I'm happy that she's got someone who actually cares about her.)
As for tomorrow, I've got the day off classes, and I'll be meeting up with one of my classmates. A girl, my age, and a rather cute one too. We're only friends at the moment, but I wonder if this will lead anywhere? :/
Not overly hopeful. I doubt I'd make a very good boyfriend, what with how accessible I am, plus I don't want to have to spend the next seven weeks full-time in an awkward situation. But we'll see what happens.
But at the very least, I'm starting to get a life. ^_^
