We get into a routine because it helps us get done what needs doing, but not following the routine doesn’t mean the work doesn’t get done anyway.
My regular routine is I get home from work on Friday and draw an Animus Wars strip. On Saturday morning I draw a Funnies strip and on Sunday I draw the other Funnies strip. For Animus Wars I draw the strip for the following week and for the Funnies, I work three weeks ahead. This schedule works for me, because I draw my strips and still feel like I have time for other things (like playing games).
Well Friday, I didn’t feel like drawing an Animus Wars strip, so I took the day off. The plan was I’d get the strip done later in the weekend and if need be, I’d draw my second Funnies strip sometime during the week. Turns out, I got all three strips done on Saturday. I fell in a rhythm and knocked out the first Funnies strip and the Animus Wars strip back to back. My second Funnies script featured some interesting action poses I hadn’t tried before which I was eager to try so I drew the strip right away instead of waiting until Sunday morning.
That left my Sunday open so I worked on the RPG rules and finished one of my Li’l Animus pieces (two more to go before Wednesday).
I want to play SOMETHING, I just don’t know what. Mostly I’ve been playing games on my cell phone (Fantasica and Candy Crush mostly), but I’d like to play something a little more substantial. Yesterday I considered logging back into Lord of the Rings Online, but the prospect was rather daunting so I decided against it. I’d have maybe played The Old Republic, but my computer overheats and shuts down when I play.
Games I have in progress:
Ni No Kuni (PS3)
Skylanders Giants (PS3)
Final Fantasy Dimensions (cell phone)
Lego Pirates of the Caribbean (PS3)
Valkyria Chronicles II (PSP)
Games I haven’t started
Green Lantern (PS3)
Tron (PS3)
Lego Harry Potter 2
Final Fantasy Dissidia (PSP)
Final Fantasy (PSP)
Kingdom Hearts (PSP)
Final Fantasy Tactics (PSP)
Mod Racers (PSP)
Admittedly, all the games I haven’t started are games I either picked up used or from the bargain bin because I . Still, with all these games to play, I don’t feel right buying NEW games. Fab tells me I need to buy an Xbox 360 so we can play together. I’m not convinced. Maybe if the Xbox 360 had an exclusive title I wanted to play.
Really, I need to just pick one and play. The PSP games are tempting because I can play them while I’m watching TV, which is how I play the cell phone games. Maybe I’ll hop back into Valkyria Chronicles II. Yes, that sounds like a plan. You read it here. I’m committing myself to playing Valkyria Chronicles II, maybe tonight even.
What mega-awesome games are you all playing?
