Xbox.com says my console's repair is "in progress". i like.

playing UT3 again after mainly getting it for the editor for school (been making lots o' cool particle emitters, fun fun). decided to finish up the campaign, which has nothing to do with the tournament at all save for some familiar names and that the gameplay is still the tournament game types, but tied into a single player story (so capturing flags "deactivates Respawners" and such). honestly, if they're going to call it "Unreal Tournament 3", it might as well just be the tournament.

also the retail version happens to have achievements, called awards. many of these i won't be getting any time soon, but it's a nice little thing to do while i wait for my box to get repaired. also, Betrayal is an awesome game type, for seriousnessly.

HOWEVER... why the hell did they not include Assault? That's the best game type of all time, ever (aside from Nazi Zombies in World at War).

and now, new favourite song of the moment:
Tegan and Sara - Hell
(somehow i thought it was Metric when i first heard it. then i remembered Emily Haines' voice is a bit higher than theirs)

that is all.
end communication.
