Calories: 2025/2040
Now it's Friday. Today wasn't too bad, actually. Had to endure the usual Friday morning conference call — which included us trying to convince our superior across the Channel that the thing she was asking us to do was impractical bullshit and a complete waste of time, which is always fun, since she's 1) stubborn and 2) French (which are essentially the same thing in my experience). After that, there were a few lightweight projects to finish off and then I was pretty much done by early afternoon.
Which left me plenty of time to write today's piece on MoeGamer. I was sort of dreading writing about Atelier Totori's plot, since its kind of freeform, event-based nature makes it a bit trickier to analyse than some other narrative games, but I ended up bashing out 4,000 words on the subject, so evidently I found my groove somewhere along the way. It took several hours — meaning by the time I'd finished there wasn't a lot of time to just settle down and relax for some games, unless I stay up unnecessarily late… which is always an option — but I was satisfied with the end result.
This weekend, since I have the coming week off, I actually am going to take it reasonably easy, since I have a whole week ahead of me to get some videos done. I'm probably going to fill most of my time with Atelier Lulua, but I've had the good fortune to get a beta version of the upcoming Evercade firmware update, so I'll spend some time fiddling around with that, too.
I can confirm that the nitro no longer gets stuck on Top Racer, if nothing else — that and Mega Drive games no longer get cut off behind the screen bezel. Those two updates alone are wonderful. Not sure when the new update will be live, but it sounds like it will be pretty soon, so if you're an Evercade person, keep an eye out for it.
Anyway. Time to sit in bed and… well, maybe play some Top Racer, actually, since I've kind of had a bit of an itch for it lately. And definitely looking forward to Top Racer 2 on the new Piko cart… even if that's a fair way off yet.
Have a pleasant Friday evening!
