Bioshock/Procrastinating

So the Gamespot review of Bioshock was not as glowing as others. They encountered a little bug that was annoying, but their main beef seemed to be with the gameplay. That's part of the problem that I have with their decision to eschew catergorical numbers that feed into the collective score - in the old days they would have slapped this thing with tens for all categories except gameplay, and it would've been a high 9 in aggregate, but now they can be much more subjective about the process. They certainly didn't need to give it a 10, but I feel like 9 was a little low. Part of it is just that they're obviously a staff of hardcore shooter fans, and Bioshock doesn't fit that bill, but it really shouldn't be expected to, though it certainly will. So, Gamespot is really just reflective of the gamer market - Bioshock is a great game, but its commercial success may be somewhat muted by the fact that the Halo whores may not be that interested in it. If nothing else, it'll end up being extremely important, if not succesful.

So, yeah, I was gonna call her - should call her...but I'm dragging my feet.

First day of school, in other news. Didn't do anything, and I'm kinda curious to see which classes are going to end up being hard and which ones will be easy. Physics is gonna be a breeze, as will Latin 3 and World Religions, but beyond that...I'll have to see how it goes. Mertens didn't really appreciate my work on our summer project. It wasn't bad, but I was shooting for higher than a B+...oh well. I was afraid calc was gonna be hard, but we'll see how it goes - the homework tonight was actually quite easy. I think Chem will be the best, most thorough of the APs, cause Pantano is hellbent on making it so, and Euro may actually end up being one of the hardest ones, or not. Rothering is threatening daily quizzes and promising that they're not that easy, but I'll believe it when I see it. They're all multiple choice, and as long as he's not an asshole about the wording like Reginator, it shouldn't be that bad.

We basically led an open rebellion in CC today, appointing various new captains and whatnot. Quite delightful, though it did go a little too far when someone threw a nut @ el capitan. Oh well, he's a whiny bitch, so I'm not particularly concerned. I have to say, I really enjoy the fact that we are doing different workouts every day - I think we can credit that to Cooper, and the infusion of fresh ideas into the program is definitely going to help us, I think.

So, 30 minutes or longer after my original self-imposed deadline...Well, now or never (or tomorrow)...

for some reason I think "definitely" should be spelled "definately", don't know why, but I always do - I think it's a more phonetic, sensible way, but that's just me
