a Third for a Third

Once again, let's put the class requirement first, and make Lillis' day easier. This week was particularly hectic for me, as it seems that it's the same week for at least two theology courses, (and my lucky days, I'm in both. *shake fist at Murphy's Law*), to pump out two papers and a journal due at random points of the week. One at least has had 3 weeks notice, so that I managed to buffer against somewhat, although I almost forgot to turn it in. As a result, I don't feel like I retained as much of what we learned in my computer classes this week. The html is really starting to pick up, we're learning some of the useful stuff now like formatting and drop boxes, but at the same time, too much is whizzing by, and the speed I have to write it down as he puts it up for us to look at is making my notebook look schizophrenic. I can already feel the nightmare it's going to be for me to find stuff later. I really hope he gets the important stuff up on the web so I can just pull up named examples when I need them, I remember that being a great help way back in Java class, and all the others he gave handouts for.

Onwards.

Today's game of choice is actually going to make for a very uneventful rant. This would be Kupo707's game, Epic Battle Fantasy 3 . The reason why it's going to be very uneventful, is because this is a really well made game. It's the third in a series he's only kept on improving his skills with. The art is his own, with several concept and idea gifts from fans, so it's very original and refreshing. The game is really well balanced, and still challenging. There's really only two nit-picks I have with the game, and that's the 'medal rooms' and the upgrades. The upgrades are powerful, and useful, but can be really unfair. You could spend all your early game money upgrading something that will be completely useless at level 5 compared to free random stuff that happens when you get other gear up to level 5. Really this is hard to criticize, because it's suppose to be a surprise when you get that item to the fourth tier and the description of the fifth suddenly says in the description "randomly summons No Legs" or "randomly calls in Airstrikes". The last nit-pick I have is getting really nit-picky, and that's that the last medal room doesn't tell you how many medals you need to get in it, and doesn't even clue you in that it is a medal room, because the character blocking it doesn't say anything. Well, ok, she/it says ". . ." but really. Says nothing of use. That and you aren't even slightly warned that all medal rooms have invisible surprise battles when you step into a certain square, battles with monsters that are above-averagely strong for that area. Again, this is suppose to be a surprise, and after the first one it's not at all a problem anymore.
As a forward warning though, the game includes humor and cameo's from several 'Classics' in gaming history, so a few jokes may go over your head, but the game will still entertain you greatly, and is very fun to play. Since its release, it has taken, and maintained, the #1 position in Kongregate's front page 'Adventure & RPG' category, so it's very worth your time.

Taking things out of context is hilarious. oh right...
