Wow.
I just discovered that there’s a link to my blog over on another blog page I look at. It’s kind of cool because I really dig her site, it’s definitly one of my favorite.

Administrative changes.
I ditched my movies page for now. Mostly because I want to database enable it so that I can keep it updated more easily. It fell so far out of date. In its place is my handy dandy new guestbook. Give it a try.

(Possibly) final Majestic review:
I’m getting to the end of the pilot epiosde. And now they are hoping that I’m hopelessly hooked on this game and will pay $9.99/month for it. I just can’t see that happening right now. I mean, it is interesting, and for that $9.99 you get access to a bunch of web based things over at ea.com. But I’m just feeling kind of enh about the game. I’m sure the demo was designed to give you a taste of what the game could do, but I still don’t feel real inspired. I’m thinking about maybe trying it for a month or so then turning it off.

Overall, the game wasn’t bad. It has a lot of potential. But as I said in an earlier post. They need to have more variation in it. You’re set up to interact with other players, but you are all stumbling along the same trail, so that interaction becomes more a case of giving hints to other players, as opposed to different people getting different clues and having to compare notes. I just watched an interview with the show’s creater over on GameSpot, that says they do expect it to get harder. So I’m not sure what I want to do. I think I may actually give it a try.

The humidity has started to get bad again. ick.

So I’m adding a new blog to my list of blogs/livejournals. This one is for Bree, The Hollywood Starlet. Because I’m sure she’s destined to tour the country following around folk singers and writing about them. I hope she doesn’t hurt me for sharing the link to it :).

Majestic Update:
To be honest. I’m still not real sure about this game. It’s kind of interesting. But the story is (as far as I can tell). Mostly just on rails. You can only do things as they give information to you and there isn’t any real branching that I’ve been able to tell. So it comes down to did you happen to figure out the needed clue to get to the next step. It isn’t even like there are multiple ways to get there (that I can determine).

It’s definitely a very interesting concept though. I could see this kind of game really getting quite complex. I’d love to have there be little side puzzles you can stumble across that are part of the overall storyline, but if you miss them you aren’t missing anything.

One of the funkier things is getting IMs from the game. I personally think that is pretty cool. They do need to work on the parsing of stuff a tiny bit, but it isn’t too bad for a start.

okay, one good thing about being on this late.
