So I finally got around to 100%ing Grand Theft Auto 4 on the Xbox 360, and like I said last time, I highly enjoyed it. From a technical point of view, the engine is fantastic, and it’s making me want to look into open-world technology for my degree’s final year project (Something to do with loading, memory usage, level-of-detail, etc?). I’d certainly enjoy it, but it’d all depending on whether I can do something like this. I’d best learn Direct3D soon, so I’ve got a big advantage off the bat.
Well, I’m not completely 100%, to be honest… just the single-player mode. I still have the multiplayer achievements to get when I buy a Live Gold account, and I’ll probably purchase The Lost and Damned at some point as well when I’m bored.
Other stuff? Went to see Spinnerette last night, and thoroughly enjoyed it. The place was full of skinheads expecting Brody Dalle to start playing Distillers-style music, and boy, did they look pissed when they first song was over.Oh, and I complete the new Monkey Island episode as well, which was fantastic. Here’s hoping it gets even better.
And because of the release of the new Harry Potter movie, my search results for Tonks are going through the roof. Damnit!
