I am in a very good mood, right now. I had a good time
\ntonight. I went out for dinner and to the cinema with a Japanese
\nfriend. We had Chinese food and saw Lord of the Rings. That movie is
\nawesome. I’ve read the books (didn’t quite finish the last one), and
\nthere are quite a few differences, but I really like the movies. Books
\ncan very rarely translate well into movies, but I thought LOTR was done
\nvery well.<\/p>\n
In contrast, I saw Battle Royal 2, last night – and that was
\npretty bad.<\/p>\n
Not only did tonight put me in a good mood, but it made me
\nwant to create. The art in LOTR is awesome. Everything just seemed so
\nwell put together. Battle scenes were so well done. Amazing. Reminded
\nme of playing Warhammer (tabletop war game played with miniatures) and
\nit especially made me want to design a Real Time Strategy game.
\nWatching that, I realized a couple play mechanics that could be added
\nto the genre. Oh man, I really should try and make a game…<\/p>\n
Maybe, instead of writing a couple emails (that I
\nmust<\/b> eventually write), I’ll try out the wacom on
\nGentoo – for the first time…heh.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
