Strange Days
It was late last night and there are a lot of spelling errors and just general bad writing in my Brothers in Arms stuff. Sorry about that... I also forgot quite a few things I wanted to mention, generally negative stuff, because that's what stands out the most when you play a game, and while I don't want to over exaggerate it's flaws, but it's worth pointing most out I guess.
One of the things I forgot to mention, or two things actually is when the enemies pop up from cover to shoot at you, they often remain physically standing and facing your other squads, say to your far left, but their shots go towards you, so it looks like they aren't looking at you but you get hit and you can see the little bullets flying by. I thought that was kind of frustrating because I'd think I snuck up on them, and they won't be facing me, but I'll pop out of cover and their shots will magically go towards me even though they aren't facing me.
The second thing is somewhat related to the first thing: If you are out of cover, the enemies, regardless of suppression level, distance from you, angle, or what your other squads are doing, the enemies will always prefer to shoot at you, always. So, let's say you have both your squads shooting at the German squad. Shooting, shooting, shooting non-stop, you crouch and slowly sneak from behind cover to get to another piece of cover, the enemies will just turn and focus on you, even though if this was based in reality, they wouldn't know you were there because a) their being shot at, and b) you were basically sneaking. This is probably the most frustrating issue with the game, because it means you personally can't ever sneak up on enemies, because enemies will always shoot you no matter how distracted they should be. I want to be able to order my two teams to shoot at German squads and then in turn give me a chance to either run into the open and not get shot (because they should be trying to kill the ones shooting them) or give me a chance to pop out of cover for a longer amount of time and pick them off, but they'll always, always go for you.
Anyway, I guess that's all I could remember for now.
Today was a pretty weird, bad day. I didn't feel like myself, I didn't feel like I was in my own home, or like I was at my work, and it was just weird, today doesn't feel like a normal day, and I don't feel normal. Boohoo for me right? boohoo. I kept waking up around 10:00am, but I refused to wake up... it was weird, I'm not sure why I was so intent on staying asleep, but I wasn't even tired anymore. I kept trying, and trying to sleep. I'd roll over, push the cat off, fix the covers, just do anything I could think of to go to sleep. I had this pretty intense fear going on inside me at the time, and that lasted until halfway through work. I was genuinely scared, really, really nervous. That was when I knew it was going to be a bad day. I woke up and I felt like I didn't belong, like this wasn't my room, and that feeling persists even now, just less so. Maybe it's just the weird hours I worked today, or some mental thing, or both, I'm sure it'll be fixed soon. Plus I'm going through a transition right now in my routine, and that's a giant, huge deal that no one seems to understand. My routine is my life, and I'm nothing without it, but I'm no longer playing WoW with my free time, and I don't seem to have a set dinner schedule going, and now when I have free time and I don't know what to do with it, I feel a mess, like I should be doing something. It's really unsettling.
So yeah, pretty bad day. I feel strange, make no sense and all that... Gotta figure some stuff out I guess. I'm hoping everything falls back in place, and all is well soon enough.
Oh, and just a note, I'll be purchasing new webspace and domain in the next month or two, and I'll be uploading my old entries for reading, however I believe I'll continue updating this blog, and just keep the old Exrambling for historic reference. We'll see... I still need to decide if I want to start saving money for a new PC or not.
