I woke up this morning drenched in sweat. My clothes were literally dripping. This sickness has been dogging me the whole day. I've shaken off the headaches and rapid temperature changes, but my throat has gotten way worse. I can barely talk. I had to resort to cough drops to soothe my throat. I even had to hassle my little brother to get me a fresh bag. I don't know if it's gonna last me. I probably popped twenty for today alone.
The thing I hate most about being sick? It's not just the physical part, it's the mental part. I cannot, for the love of me, fall asleep. In my delirium, I have no control over my thoughts. It's zips and zooms around all manner of illogical thought processes. It's partly my fault, since I stayed up a bit to play the Hardline beta, but I barely got any sleep. I'm not doing myself any favors.
I put all intense physical activities on hold and I'm starting to feel it. My stomach's a little flabby. I wonder if I can make up for it later?
Whereas last night where all I did was win on the beta, today, all I did was lose. I was trying to level up the sniper class but I wasn't really contributing to the team. Once I decided to play for the win, we still lost. And since loading takes forever, it gave me enough time to think "screw this" and do something productive.
Nintendo did their little thing today and I think they had quite an impressive showing. I won't be buying a Wii U anytime soon but maybe down the line when I've cleared out my backlog (ha!) and gotten a steady income stream.
Today has really been the redemption of Destiny. My hype was wavering due to incessant negativity online but that has been washed away by the positive impressions of the alpha. I didn't care too much about the competitive MP but watching Ninja's stream has really piqued my interest. I always viewed MP shooters on two extremes: Call of Duty and Halo.
In the former, I die way too fast, and in the latter, it takes forever to kill someone, so it's nice to see Destiny reach a Battlefield-like balance between the two. Then again, all the supers and power weapons might screw up that delicate health balance, but we'll see how it shakes up. For now, Destiny is the only game that's looking to be a sure buy coming this fall.
In Bungie, I trust.
