Chasing a good blog post

I have graphite, colored pencil, and a fading henna tattoo on my hands. The smell of turpentine still lingers in my nostrils, damn that stuff smells bad. A finished art project is on the table behind me. And still I question if I'm an artist.

So...

...So...been busy lately? Weather gettin' cold?

...So...we haven't talked in a long time. How're you doing? You know, I'm sorry I've been gone so long. It gets kinda tough around here. But I haven't forgotten you. I think, right after the culmination of my efforts (the Oregon Trail post), which, in my own world, was fantastic, I was burned out for a while. C'mon, that post took me two days to make.

But I'm back now. I didn't mean to leave so abruptly, but I might again anyhow.

~`~

So, like a meth addict that happens to work at your local Burger King (oh wait) I've returned to playing S4 League. I dropped it a few months back because I figured that I had done enough posts on it. But I'd been wanting to play it again, and there's a new mode out, soo...

So like a drug addict I've taken the game back into my arms like an old lover. It feels good too, like it did before I left it (although I'm a little rusty now). Seems I've become crappier at aiming, but my bat skills aren't as fail as they were. And I have to say, despite the bugs, I'm very happy with Chaser Mode.

For those of you that can't read Spanish (for some reason they have the Spanish version on the English site), Chaser mode is a type of match much like Touchdown and Deathmatch. You have, for example, 12 people in a Chaser match. One of them is uber and overpowered and really fast. This person has to kill everyone else. Everyone else has to not die and maybe kill the chaser if they're good.

So yeah it's really fun. I don't like being the chaser cause I suck at it, but I do like fighting the chaser because if they hit you once you're pretty much dead. So I obviously rush them with my bat, gettin' up in their face and smashing them into walls, it's really quite satisfying. Especially if you can knock them off the stage and they die, that's VERY funny.

Of course, like I said, it has its bugs. The main bug is called the camera bug. It's the only one I've run into. There are varying degrees of how much the camera bug sucks. The least...er, bad version is the one that just takes your targeting crosshair away. Makes movement and aiming awkward but possible. I dunno if that's the one that most people complain about, but I can still function with it, although I tend to try not to melee too much cause you only swing in one direction. So in you have the Chaser on your left, but you only swing to the right...

Anyways, there's a definate worse version of the bug, which is when the camera is locked into place. You can move, but you only see yourself moving, the camera doesn't stay behind you. I've only seen this happen in the Temple stage for Chaser, and I would guess that's why there's NO FUCKING TEMPLE MAP ROOMS. Makes sense eh? That bug almost completely debilitates you although I did end up kiting a Chaser for about 30 seconds with it, just jumping back and forth. I finally was killed because I was laughing too damn hard.

So yeah, instead of writing more about obscure games that most people don't know, I'm going to go play that game. I've got some drawings of S4 in my notebook, and maybe I'll scan them in right as soon as I scan in my avatar and a few other things. Riiiight.

Want to tell this author what you think, but you don't want anyone else to see it? Think she's full of it and need to set her straight? Want to worship the ground she walks on? Well, good luck with that last one, but you can email Chrys at catharticgamer@yahoo.com and at least tell her what you think.
