No Blog for Time

Let me apologize to my ~0 readers about the lack of updates. No, wait, never mind.
I’ve been busy. School full time plus work part time plus pregnant girlfriend amounts to about a 130% demand on my time. My schedule goes something like this:
- Monday — School 8:30-12:50, girlfriend 3-?, work/sleep.
- Tuesday — Girlfriend 10:30-11:15, homework, girlfriend 3-?, work/sleep
- Wednesday — see Monday.
- Thursday — see Tuesday.
- Friday — School 8-12:50, girlfriend 3-?, work/sleep.
- Saturday — Girlfriend, work, homework, sleep.
- Sunday — Girlfriend, work, homework, sleep.
Yeah, kind of sucks. When I actually have free time it’s mostly spent playing games. Which brings me to my next point.
So, Doom 3 sucks. It’s interesting for about two minutes, scary the first three times Monster X jumps out from Dark Place Y in Dark Hallway Z, and then pretty much boring. Dark hallways, stupid monsters, stupid plot, stupid levels. I can tell Carmack picked up on Halo’s policy of “instead of making interesting mission objectives, we’ll just make one that’s like ‘find the flashlight’ and make a maze of a level so that they have to wander around for ~24 days until they find the super secret spot.” Asshole. Goldeneye and other 007 games are the only ones I’ve ever played that actually have fun mission objectives that consist of more than “find this one spot in this one map.”
Yeah I was going to make this longer but I’m bored with it now.
