For the first time in eternity, I spent a significant chunk of time not playing Destiny. The game is definitely losing shine. Of course, I say this after having invested 150 plus hours into it but still, the grind has finally got to me. Time to play the game like a filthy casual and move on with my life. NBA 2K15 is just around the corner and that seems poised to take over my life next. After that, the hits just keep coming with The Order, Bloodborne, The Phantom Pain, and Uncharted 4.
I've had some pretty epic sleeps once I've stopped staying up so late. I can tell because my dreams have taken on that quality that makes them almost indistinguishable from real memories if it weren't for the fact that I know for a fact that this stuff never happened in real life. I've been waking up late as a result--like in the afternoon.
The reprieve from the heat was all too brief. It only lasted a couple days. It was nice to go to bed without a fan for once, but it's back with a slight vengeance. It's not quite take-the-shirt-off hot, but it's enough to make me uncomfortable.
I feel a little starved for social contact at the moment and would like to see a movie. I want to see The Equalizer. Despite the less than stellar reviews, it's right up my alley in terms of taste. I never get tired of watching old guys kick ass. You gotta credit Liam Neeson's career reinvention into an action star for kickstarting the trend of over-the-hill veterans committing to genre shifts. The world needs more Taken clones, although The Equalizer is probably more Man on Fire than that.
What's with the new RottenTomatoes redesign? It looks like crap, and I have to scroll down to see the ratings now. Incidentally, I just saw the reviews for Gone Girl. It seems solid so far but it doesn't look like the new Zodiac. Man, I love that movie. It's so amazing.
TGS passed by during my Destiny daze, but I was paying enough attention to catch the FFXV footage. The game is shaping up nicely and there were a number of announcements from Japanese devs that I'm looking forward to. Next (current) gen is finally in full swing. Hell, there's gonna be an avalanche of games in the next couple weeks. It's always a good time to be a gamer.
