So here I sit on my lunch break and I thought I would take a minute and write a quick post to update anyone who might be reading this.

Now working at D3 Publishing (publishers of games like Dark Sector, Naruto series, Ben 10 series, Eat Lead and others) as a QA tester in their Tempe Az, office.

Beats the pants off 7-11 I'll tell ya that much. My gaming has changed significantly in the last few weeks as well. After achieving end game raiding in WoW I couldn't find a reason to sign on anymore, so I shut off my account (GASP) and started playing Final Fantasy 11. One addiction to another right?

So far I'm enjoying it, though I will admit (with some glee really) that it is more challenging and frustrating. Actually having a penalty when I die is refreshing.

I have also been using my PS3 more in the last few weeks as I recently purchases both Prototype and Infamous. Additionally I've been exploring the Sims 3.

Prototype and Infamous. If ever there was a videogame rivalry right? I see so many posts about this or that. Personally I haven't finished either and would like to reserve my faovoritisim until I do, until then though here are my personal observations:

Storyline in both is impressive, Infamous is more styalized with it's comic book super hero/villain aspects, while Prototype is darker and more gritty (a personal fav of mine).

Controls both suffer from a few lacking aspects. With Infamous I'm forced often into a jerky aiming system which becomes easier to use only when I can use both aim and movement, which more often then not isn't the case. Prototype is more fluid but suffers from movement problems when using the all important Air Dash.

I like the movement in Prototype better however because between the two I feel slow and clumsy in Infamous where in Prototype I feel flexible and in control. Infamous does seem to have a much broader range of powers, even though they are all electricity based, but Prototype utilizes both melee and ranged attacks where I've noticed going in for melee in Infamous is usually suicide.

So far those are my observations.

Hope all is well, time for work.
