19Nov02 (Monthenor): Hmm...so how do I get the plot from here to there?...

Oh, what -- we're on? Crap! *scuffling sounds*

Ahem. Hi. The Wai storyline is starting to wind down. We'll get to the real meat of GerbilMechs any month now, and I just bought a shiny new .3mm lead pencil for fine face detail and stuff, so GM is only going to get better. Yay!

I ended up renting Rachet+Clank for another day...I beat the game literally half an hour after it was due. For a game that was an amusing if moderately easy diversion, the last boss was a real kick in the ass. It's been a while since a last boss could bend me over that consistently, but I triumphed in the end.

I would like to find the camera guy for Rachet+Clank and give him a good whupping. Not that the camera was bad or unusable, but it had severe issues with the magnet-boots sections. Since these sections invariably involve narrow paths above certain death, adding in an insolent camera only frustrates the player. I finally conquered these parts by taking tiny little baby steps and keeping the camera adjusted manually. Heads up for anyone else out there who wants to play it.

And the Chicken Ray. CHICKEN RAY!!

Boy, if I want a comic up over Thanksgiving, I better start on it soon...
