Exams? FFFFFFFFFFFFF

Okay, so it is Exam time again.
And while I only have one more (tomorrow) I felt I should update my blog.
don't worry, I am studying. I have just taken my 20 minute break after 2 hours study ( I will still be lucky to pass, I have struggled with maths this year : ( ).

But enough about IRL, this is gaming blog!
I would like to say that I neglected blogs because I was studying for exams the past three weeks. But really, that would be no where near true, no where.
I recently started playing Oblivion again.
you know what I realised?
When you have exams coming up, don't start a new game of something so addictive as Oblivion.
Now while Oblivion is you know, BUGGY, GLITCHY and LONG (yeah I said the words you arent supposed to) I really love it.

Like LOVE.

Infact it has gotten to a point where all I play is Oblivion in my spare time. (after my last exam prepare for a 24 hour marathon).

So I thought I should say why I was so addictive:

First of all, RPG's create a character you really can feel 'close to'. I know my character is my creation, and I can be a badass dunmer or a weak ass Argonian.
This time I decided to go with:
Khajiit
The Shadow
Archery
and I am really happy with my selections. Magic just feels like cheating to me because it can be so ridiculously powerful. I also stay away from the Imperials and high elves. I never really liked classes that were seen as superior (I like the underdogs : ) ).
Also archery is just badass, unlike the other classes it requires skill.

I also like the immersion. A lot of people commented on a lack of immersion, and I suppose that is true when you start floating or the trees turn funny colours, but I find the scenary very immersive. The characters voice acting REALLY needs help but for such a large game something had to give.

However the 'culture' of the game is so massive (many a day have I spent on Oblivion Wiki). Witht he different races, different architecture in each town and things like that I feel when I travelled I am actually somewhere NEW. I think that is what a lot of games struggle with, changing scenary while still trying to make the game have a distinct setting.

- That is enough for now, 20 minute break over! I shall return later.

DeltaTech signing out.

Year 12 makes me FML

SO basically, I did this to prove to myself I wasn't lazy....

and basically tried to keep it up but then got a bunch load of tests.

And because I was also proving to myself I could study and get good grades ... yeah .... I no longer have a life due to year 12. *sadface

So anyways this is a blog about gaming mainly... which is really freaking hard when you are in year 12 btw.

Recently I played 5 minutes of Dark Sector (in between studying for a Chem test). To say the least Australian censorship makes games bad. It looks like a promising game but I really don't like playing shooters on anything other then PC (NOT a console fag). So yeah was hard to adjust to that, I haven't read any reviews because I like to be unbiased in my opinion of a game. Seeing as all tests finish this week I shall endeavour to play more on the weekend.

The Left 4 Dead 2 mutation looks freaking awesome (I kinda watched a friend play when I should have been using the 'yr 12 study room' effectively... my bad). Gotta love Valve and their shaking things up.

I also finished CoD: MW2 Campaign. I was impressed with this game ... no really (yeah me like a CoD game, what is this I don't even). The graphics kicked ass (I ain't no graphics whore but I can appreciate good graphics). I must admit I didn't bother to follow the story as much, because you know is CoD, what story? But there was a certain diversity in the game play (what with the driving boats, flying in helicopters while sniping). One thing the game could of gone without though is the freaking climbing the snow at the beginning, never have I died soo much.

Hilarious game play moment of the week:

this goes to James who owns a Mac. he tried playing CoD MW 2 and was very angry to find out that the climbing scene involved using a right button mouse.... ouch.
