My blood pressure was 130/101 and I have this weird feeling in my chest. The hypochondriac in me is not f#cking helping.


Yikes...I hope you'll be alright. :( I know it's difficult, but try not to stress out about it too much. If you've been pushing yourself a lot lately, take a day off, sleep in...or whatever else might help you relax.


CT: Buses were cancelled today, lots of snow coming down, and the wind's just a-howlin' right now.

It was so good to crawl back into bed, though. ^^

Y'know...it's kina funny: when a game only has autosave, it really ticks me off and I want a manual save option. When a game only has manual save, I always forget to save and so I want an autosave option. It would really be easier if all games had both options. >_<

+ Are you really eating ice cream for lunch?
Yes. :unsure: Shut it and think up ideas to write about later. :banghead: Besides, you're one to talk, Mr. I-can-eat-candy-every-second-of-every-day-and-never-get-sick-or-gain-weight.... >_>

@Shadow: I agree. I guess giving everyone both options would make things too easy for us. I mean I actually think games without autosaves/checkpoints are like that to make it more challenging to get from one save point to the next.
I don't know about the sequels, but the original Dead Space only had manual save points. I always breathed a sigh of relief when I saw the next save station.

That's...actually a really good idea for why they do it. I've been playing American McGee's Alice and I forgot there was a manual save...so I've been cursing at my tv for the last couple hours every time I die (which has been often...friggen boojums *shakes fist at them*) because I keep losing all my progress. Seems to make sense that they would do that to trip people up. :S

Haven't played that game myself, but I can relate to what you're saying. It gave me a greater sense of achievement in a way. You know, instead of just getting a checkpoint every five minutes. Except it comes down to how difficult the game is meant to be anyway or the difficulty you play on.

@Shadow: Yeah I would reckon that would be a reason as to why they don't put an autosave in some games. It seems pointless to not just have both save options anyway if they aren't trying to make a game that is trying to be challenging.
