It's Cindy's fault that I'm posting this late...
She came back from a family trip to Disneyland. Unfortunately, seems like everyone else gets tomorrow off. For me, it's understandable that I'll be heading back to work later on today because there is so much to do this week that hopefully Ann and I can be able to accomplish everything being that this is another 4 day week. I'm happy to report that I did get a lot of sleep this weekend. It's nice to have that extra day off for that one!
Can't love Cindy enough. She gave me DJ Hero 2 and Epic Mickey for Wii games, headphones, and a X-Men poster. Awesome stuff! On Christmas I spent most of the day playing DJ Hero 2. Really love the mixes that they have in the game with a lot of recognizable songs. I have a feeling that if Rock Band 3 gets a lot of people picking up the pro instruments that Activation may have to get rid of Guitar Hero and go with DJ Hero as for their primary rhythm music genre. Probably everyone's dream is to bring in Pro Guitar, Drums, Keyboard, and the turn table and make some music with them.
I guess one of my ideas with using all of the instruments is to have band centrist games to incorporate the instruments. I could see Slipknot and Limp Bizkit using the turntables, Dream Theatre and Dragonforce with the keyboards. I think one thing that's missing with band centrists games is a "concert" mode where for the ambitious players that want an entertaining marathon, there's this mode where they mimic one of the band's favorite set that they performed and the songs played goes through exactly how they ordered it during the concert. Because it doesn't go by progressive increases in difficulty, people can already get hit with a hard song then get to easier ones in between, but it's all based on how the concert that was conducted. Man, I wish I had loads of money to get into the gaming industry...
Other than that, Christmas was mellow for the most part. I only spent last Friday with Cindy, but not on Saturday or Sunday. Kind of weird that I didn't see her this weekend. But, I know after the New Year's, we're going to get busy with wedding planning again. For a while, it was nice to see Cindy without stress, but I know I'll be emotionally drained when she gets to planning mode. It's necessary, but hopefully she remembers to keep in mind my feelings as well. Hopefully...
Well, got work to do tomorrow, found some key discoveries over the weekend for one client's project. Hopefully we're able to improve or control the outcome in later studies...
