Today's Work: More questions to answer, with a little more work on the documentation.
I updated my 360 to the new Dashboard tonight... it doesn't look much different, but I love the way they think I need a tutorial. I could have used a tutorial in scrolling the user agreement - how often do you have to use the right analog stick outside of a game?
Speaking of using the right analog stick, it was the key to beating Cerberus in Dante's Inferno, as I discovered last night. Who would have guessed that dashing INTO the mouths was the key to survival? I'm serious. It took a while, but I managed to beat it, and then had a lot of trouble with a sandworm. Then had a lot of trouble with a room full of sandworms. Once I remembered that I have a ranged attack and didn't need to get within biting distance, they were a lot easier, and I finally reached the save point so I wouldn't have to refight Cerberus. But I had a little time left and decided to keep going to see what was coming up. In the next minute or so, I gained an Unholy level and bought another Relic slot, which gives me the chance to equip more Relics that I don't really need, and the last Relic slot will require Holy level 4... so I'm debating switching to the "more Holy experience" relic and going for that next. I could also pay for some of the upgrades, I suppose... I only have two spells, and neither is particularly useful, but I don't know what I'd do with more of them, and the additional relics would just be more stuff I probably wouldn't bother to equip. Plus, it'll be more fun to beat the game naturally, assuming I can. But having accomplished that much, even as easy as it would be to do again, I didn't want to quit, so I got through the gauntlet of enemies, a boss (easy one, only took two tries - I expect I'll see them later as regular enemies), and a puzzle room where I'm pretty sure I missed a collectible, to reach the next save point only about 15 minutes after I wanted to go to bed. I have plenty of time tonight and may go ahead and play something, but I've got LP work to do first, and I have to fill out that Nielsen book so I can get them all in the mail tomorrow.
