Boring Days Lead to.. Boring Nights?
Well, today was very dull. I woke up at 9:30 today, watched a little MadTV, and my Mom left for a sewing workshop in the neighboring town. So, I just sat here, playing some more of Tenchu: Wrath of Heaven.

I bought this game last Monday, when I finally gave up on searching for a copy of Metal Gear Solid 2: Substance (For now..). This should hold my desire for stealth games until I order a copy of Substance online.

Tenchu.. Is an okay game. The graphics are above average, particularly in the character design department, and the stealth kills are always fun to watch, but the AI is atrocious, compared to Metal Gear. Basically, if an enemy sees you because you opened a door, and then the door closes because you walk away, he automatically shouts "Huh? Where'd he go?" and walks away.

It makes the stealth easier, and in a sense it's more enjoyable than Metal Gear, but it's not as challenging. In MGS, I spent hours trying to figure out how to get through a room. In Tenchu, I end up spending hours trying to figure out how the hell I'm supposed to get to my destination. The map they give you is almost useless.. Well, at least the designs aren't too linear. There are two or three different ways to get into any location.

It's too bad they're far too remote to locate.

I also ended up buying a used copy of .hack//Infection. At first, I wasn't entirely impressed, graphically speaking, but now I'm getting into the plot, and everything's nice. Battling is a little dull, but Data Draining different stuff is always fun, at least to see what sort of strange thing a Headhunter will turn into.

..Yeah. So I played those games for a while, then got online. I.. Located the screen name of a classmate, and ended up talking to them for a few hours. Not too many people were on today, for some reason, so I just spent all day looking at various Flash Animations. The Matrix Has You still is my favorite, but Kerri's Big Invention and Harry Potter Puppet Pals are also quite nice.

And.. That's about it, heh. Toonami and Adult Swim are coming on soon, so I'm gonna cut this short. Good night, and have a pleasant tomorrow.
