Rinse, Repeat.
In other random news…i reinstalled Bioshock. I bought it the day it came out. Found it too old school and did not play it much. Decided to finish it, again did not play much. The reason i want to finish is because i want to buy some new games.
Left 4 dead
Mirrors Edge
Tomb raider Underworld
Silent Hill 5
Problem being i cannot stop playing Quakewars…something about the game that is as good as Quake3 (which in my opinion is a perfect game).
In work related news. One of the BIG levels i worked on for Age of Conan will be out soon in the next patch. Its a level in the Thunder River section. These are few paintovers made over my mockup. This is one of the three levels that i have done post launch and are far better than any levels we have in AOC as of now. Will post the rest as and when they are made public.
