Holidays

So yeah, I've been on holiday for two weeks, catching up on sleep and games. Got two late birthday gifts, in the form of Max Payne 3 and Alice: Madness Returns. Two great games from two great friends.

Haven't had the chance to play Max Payne 3, but I did manage to play through Alice. And I have to say: I loved it. After watching a Let's Play of the first game, American McGee's Alice?, I also looked at some videos of Madness Returns. Loved it, been wanting to get it ever since.

I played it over two days, completed it with little difficulty. Loved the art direction, the way the story is told, the picturebook-like cutscenes, even the gameplay.

My holiday was otherwise normal, if by normal you mean still plagued with shadowy visions, loss of sleep and periodic coughing, then yes, my holiday's been normal. I know he's still stalking me, though how far or close by he is, is still a mystery to me. The Nightlanders, confident in naming them now, have been appearing in my vision more now. Perhaps they're warning me of something? Or perhaps their presence is a sign of my continued descent into madness. I'll never know. Such Eldritch things are above me, impossible for mortals to understand.
