Event Log: 8/13/14 - A Fleeting Impression

All I've been doing is following up on the P.T. demo. People have already beaten it, but they don't know how. Cue experimentation on a mass scale via streams and message boards. Did they solve it? Apparently, the solution involves the microphone but it's not 100% consistent. A lot of people were finally able to beat the game because of it though.

I've watched so many streams that my mind has fallen into the gap. Whenever I close my eyes, apparitions appear in the dark. I can't help but imagine a pale silhouetted woman in a nightgown standing out in my front yard. It's just that kind of day.

I watched a livestream of The Phantom Pain presentation with Geoff Keighley and Hideo Kojima. There wasn't much new content since it was the same demo from E3, just slightly different. The most interesting tidbits involved PT but not much was said. The whole event was a tease. We'll just have to wait for another show--like TGS.

I started putting together my Vegas playlist. I was alarmed by how many of my songs lack the requisite energy to pump us up for the trip. I had to borrow music from my little brother. We share similar taste, although he leans heavily into the indie side. I'm just cherry picking upbeat and energetic songs from his folder. I want variety, energy, and just something to keep the mind occupied while we watch large swaths of desert pass by.

In the evening, I jumped into BF4 with my friend, whose new schedule precludes playtime before midnight. Yikes. We had a decent run. The session marked my 200th hour in BF4. Talk about value. Now I don't feel so bad paying $110 for the game and premium. After we finished up, I named my clips to get ready for editing tomorrow. It's time to put together some new compilations.
