Friday: I played a bit more Dead Space 2. Single player this time. Since getting Dead Space 2 back I've now played enough of the single player game to re acclimated to the story. I'm also working on getting all of the weapon specific achievements, such as kill 50 enemies with the flamethrower or kill 20 enemies with deployed mines. Here's the thing, as I said before I've already played Dead Space 2 but I didn't have an objective opinion because I was riding the new-game high. Now I can say with confidence, Dead Space 2 is an incredible game. It is a vast improvement over the first game, and the steps Visceral Games took to make Isaac (the main character) more of a character than just the avatar you control worked really well.
Eve update: I mined asteroids for ore yesterday. A lot. Mining ore in Eve is what seems to me to be the easiest way to make ISK (money) in the game. So I collected a crap ton of ore then refined it into alloys. Alloys are the prime ingredient used to manufacture ships and equipment. Finally, I put the alloy up on the market (auctions essentially) and some other player buys it up. Cha-ching.
Hopefully I will be running a Call of Cthulhu game for some friends in 3 or 4 weeks. I'm currently putting together an adventure for the players to run. Obviously I don't want to post details about that in case they read this, but after the game is done I will be posting details about it. If you don't know what Call of Cthulhu is, it's a role-playing game similar to Dungeons & Dragons without the Elves and Dragons and shit. It is based on the writing of H. P. Lovecraft, an author from the early 1900 who is considered (by some, myself included) to be one of the greatest horror writers ever. I'll be postnig more general information about CoC periodically. I don't want to cause information overload.
