Last night I saw Fight Club for the first time. It was completely different from what I expected. If you haven't seen it yet, you should. If I had to rate it on my awesome scale, I'd place it between the "sweet jesus" and "bee's knees" levels.

I got my PSVita today. I really like it so far, and what has surprised me the most that many sites or ads may not emphasize is how may applications the thing can run at once and how freaking nice the screen is. It's like the 3DS where a camera can't quite capture the elegance of the screen, and really needs to be seen for yourself.

I played Penumbra with a few friends and recorded it the same way I did with Amnesia. Now I have 527 gigabytes worth of video to sort out. Sadly some of the sound didn't come out very well, so I'm going to have to mess with that a bit. We only played the first episode in the series, Overture. It wasn't terribly scary, at least no where near Amnesia. We had scares and screams, and looking at the other episodes I definitely feel like the others will be much better. Originally I planed on having the Penumbra episode recordings uploaded in three different videos, but as of right now I don't feel like I gathered all that much footage. Idk, maybe once I filter through it all I'll have more than I anticipated, but if I have to I'll combine episodes one and two.

I changed my game making focus onto another new game. I thought I could try and stick with one project at a time but I guess I'm just as bad as everyone else. This however, I think should be finished fairly quickly (I hope). The only thing that is going to slow me is spriting, so I'm going to try and just push through that as much as necessary and then ask for help at the end.

The game is mostly about story and not so much gameplay. So besides looking good, it also has to have a good ending. Honestly though, I just can't quite think of one. So I need to ask your guy's opinion, would you rather have a happy ending that makes you feel good for a while and delivers a good message about self worth and heroic deeds? Or would you rather have a devastatingly sad end, that would probably stick with you longer, but would probably make you feel like shit.

Who knows, maybe I'm not giving "good" endings enough memorable value, it could come out better that the crap I'm thinking of right now. I always felt that if a character got in such a shitty situation, he/she could either: pull it through because of outside forces and thus gains little to no experience, or pull through with his/her own intuition and tools/experiences they had learned on the way. The latter is obviously the best way to do it, no one likes to see corners being cut, but the shittier the situation, the harder it becomes to make the protagonist make it out on their own. I suppose the first step would be to give the characters tools earlier in the game so that they can succeed further down the road.

Sometimes I talk to myself out loud while walking in the cold night air.

Strange… writing that actually helped my thought process…
