How Did This Happen?
So I went to bed early yesterday, collapsing from the tiredness, so you'd think I'd be back on schedule. And yet, here I am looking at two o'clock, wondering what happened. I'm still going to go exercise, though, which means I'll be awake for even longer!
Most of my day was dedicated to finishing up my next Beyond Tetris article, which should be up later today. Sneak preview: It's about Minesweeper. And for the first time in a long time, I know have a full two weeks to plan and prepare my next article, so I'm going to get on that tonight. I should also do an Ebay check to see if I can pick up a few out-of-print games for future topics.
Most of the rest of my day was taken up by Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney—Justice for All, which sucks up time like a TARDIS Hoover. I mean, I was just finishing the game, how did it take so many hours? Stupid nonadjustable text speeds.
Anyway!
The game is pretty fun, and the final chapter is fantastic. But, as many reviewers have noted, there are tons of spelling and grammar errors. Not Engrish, just errors, the kind of "slipped through the spellchecker" things that show up in the writings of English speakers who aren't paying close attention to what they're writing. The puzzles have the standard adventure-game problems, but the penalties are sometimes overly harsh, which can be frustrating. (I've already said more on the subject in the Gamer's Quarter Forum.)
And in between all that, I took a nap too. So, all in all, too much rest has put my schedule off. I must work vigorously to realign myself tomorrow.
On the bright side, I only have to work three days this week because I'm switching to my new schedule. I shall celebrate my first Friday of Freedom by going to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
satch's birthday party. I like "Friday of Freedom," I'm going to have to do something with that.
But tonight, while I'm sleeping late because I went to bed so late, I will be missing Jeopardy, with special contestantcramerica! Luckily I have a VCR. If you don't make sure you're by a TV, perhaps in the common room of a dorm you happen to live in.
