My husband...

The man whom I have shared 5 wonderful years with. A man who shares a lot of my likes and dislikes. A man whose love of video games is the hardest of the core gamers, has been lost to the only genre of video games he has never been truly interested in. That genre is first person shooters. And the game responsible for it....Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2.

I knew something was wrong when he was playing an awful lot of Uncharted 2's multiplayer.

That was his gateway drug, now he's hitting the hard stuff...

BTW I don't really like first person shooters...but from what I see out of the corner of my eye, looks pretty interesting.

(Yes, I'm aware that Uncharted 2 is third person, but if it wasn't for the multiplayer and him conversing with some of the other players to try this out, he wouldn't have even giving it a passing glance.)

*Sigh* He even pre-ordered it too...

So, its not much. Just an update of my ID and my avatar but, you gotta start somewhere.

My hubby and I finished beating Resident Evil 5 at around 5:30am this morning. We started where we left off the last time at Chapter 3 and kept going. It was murder, particularly the final,final, FINAL boss fight where we died 21 times 'cause we didn't know how we were supposed to kill 'im. But it was great. I am now a fan of the game. As long as they keep the non-online co-op that me and the husband can play together, I'll be there!

Yeah I know we're late to the game but we just don't jump on bandwagons like most when it comes to game unless it something that looks really interesting. I didn't play GTA 4 until it had been out for 3 months and I didn't even know it existed until my best friend told me he had it. And I didn't care because the GTA series didn't hold my interest besides going on rampages of doom for kill time or relive stress. And San Andres was just dull to me. But this isn't about that, this is about RE5 because this is actually the first Resident Evil game I've ever played. Like ever. I played GTA games before even the old top down ones but they didn't hold my interest until 4 which is not on my top ten favorite games EVAR!11! But, I have never even demoed, let alone touch a RE game. And now I'm hooked. I liked the game, and unfortunate implications aside, it was done spectacularly. Even better that, as I said above, its the only type of game I can play with my husband outside of MMOs!

Side Note: The reason I never played a Resident Evil game before was because when they were first introduced, the were marketed as a horror game, and I dislike anything horror related. But this didn't feel and more like horror than Devil May Cry imho.

P.S. The quick time events,aside from dodging, felt less 'God of War' to me and more 'Dragon's Lair' and 'Space Ace' to me. Probably because they happened through scripted cutscenes and not actual game play.

P.P.S: Yesterday was our 5th year wedding anniversary. Funny, no?

I need to work on making clean pencil line art.

Time for bed!

Trying to put together a portfolio. Only problem(s) is (are) A: For anyone who employ's illustrators, I need to upload my work to the interwebs for easy viewing (cause there are no or very, very, veryx1000 few illustration jobs where I live and B: ....I don't have access to a large scanner because I tend to draw big.

I know I can scan in sections but it never comes out looking quite right.
