I'm still alive, really.

I'm semi-actively working on Timeshift. There's nothing aggressively bad about the game, it's just... boring. There are no weapons I feel comfortable with and it's just a little bit too similar to FEAR, I guess, being as it's a first person shooter where you can slow down time and the enemies take maybe 3 full clips each to kill, even on the lowest difficulty setting. They're not dangerous, just borderline invincible.

I'm more than halfway through the game now. I'm halfway through the fourth chapter out of what the achievements lead me to believe is six and I stopped caring about the game about... say three full chapters ago. Full review when I finish it. I don't have any specific complaints in mind, the game is just not gripping me. I am in a state of complete non-grippedness.

My main reason for going AWOL, however, is that my PS3 came back from repair the same day my new rock band pedal arrived. While it's significantly better than the standard RB pedal, I can NOT fully recommend the Destroyer pedal. It keeps falling apart on me and for the $100 I paid, as well as the freaking 11 week wait on shipping, it's a pretty huge letdown. Also I somehow seem to have cracked my blue pad. The Ion kit can not release fast enough.
