1831 and the blog

Dear blog, it's been a while since my last entry. Synergy and I are still going strong, and I also have my school certificate!!! Because we were busy with other things, Synergy and I went a couple of weeks without spending time together- it was tough but I managed it. We finally went on a date this weekend and we had a lovely time gfx battling each other- she's still waiting for me to submit an entry, lol!!!

Afterwards, I went home and played Gears of War 2. While the story and particularly the writing for the emotional scenes was weak, I did enjoy the 'I heard there's a shitload of grubs over there!' 'More like 10 shitloads' exchange and was thrilled by the gameplay. I think that while I enjoy the tightened mechanics, the first Gears had a better campaign. But that's okay, because Horde is very good fun. I haven't played online yet, because i'm too lazy to get live, but that's okay too because i've heard bad things about the online. I have concluded that despite its faults, I prefer it to Fallout 3, which I am having a lot of trouble getting back into, and Mirror's Edge. Of all the games I have spent a significant amount of time this year with, it is my favourite, excluding Fallout 2 and Pokemon Blue. I think I might buy Gears 2 for Synergy for christmas, which coincidentally marks our 26th day as a couple, so then we can bring in the new year mercilessly slaughtering locust!!!
