We also had a few script meetings on the BPRE graphic novel. I need to add a crawl to the beginning as well as a few points of dialog. I wanted to just drop the audience into the story in progress and explain on the go. I think it gave the story a very immediate feel, but it also disoriented the hell out of half the people who read it LOL
I also made a decision to rewrite one of the major action pieces as well. It was too big...and just felt wrong for the the story. I am hoping to be ready with revisions by the time our artist arrives in September.
I've been trying to squeeze in all the new Comicon stuff since I returned. Last week was a non-stop run through hell featuring daily temperatures of 100-110F with 90-100% humidity, intermittent rain and block after block of chain stores and churches, which are admittedly a chain store of a less interesting variety. As a side effect of living my dreams, I missed all the live Comicon covergae and have to play catch up.
Despite following a bland and mediocre first title with an even worse graphic novel, I must confess I am a bit curious in the new Army of Two games. Not enough to place a pre-order mind you, but interested enough to tune in. I think the allure is pretty obvious. Similar subject matter...radically different approach to what we are doing. The first one was boring and tedious. I still am not sure why I bothered to finish it. The story, acting and level design was all fairly generic, with the conclusion being face punchingly textbook. It was like Lethal Weapon 3 bad...
On the other hand, Modern Warfare 2 multiplayer videos are starting to surface. I can't say I'm really jumping up and down with excitement, but they've got my $ anyway LOL
I also canceled my preorder for the US edition of Bayonetta and ordered the Japanese version from ncsx.com (since the jp version is out in October versus January). Also pre-ordered Lost Planet 2 and Halo ODST. Now that 360's with the Jasper motherboard are arriving in stores, I can finally get one without worrying about another RROD.
I also just finished Red Faction Guerrilla...It put me in the mood to play Black again. Which I promptly did last night ^_^ If you are interested in my copy of RFG let me know - $40 shipped baby. If not I will be parting with it shortly via ebay.
Just starting the new book by Charles Stross
, to be followed shortly with The World Is Flat 3.0: A Brief History of the Twenty-first Century
and Death's Head: Day of the Damned
.Have a better one ^_^
