Charley Horse

Well, we say Charley and the Chocolate Factory yesterday. It goes into a lot more than the first movie and makes me want to read the book. At first I thought the words to the Oompa Loompa songs were odd (odd they even had songs) until it was pointed out in the credits that these are the songs they sing in the book. Wow. Dahl was really messed up. I like it. Anyway, I thought this was very well done! There were a few nostalgic moments when Edward Scissorhands would pop into my head, but they were quickly whisked away.

City of Heroes has made a few changes on the test server that upset me. I'm going to assume that when they messed around with defenses, accuracy, life, damage, and the like, they're keeping it somewhat even and fair, even if it is in a roundabout method. However, they limited the number of pets a controller can have out to one at a time. This annhilates most controllers' pets, which are tweaked to create as many as possible at once. In fact, this will make soloing completely impossible for Magical Mew Mew. *sighs* bastards. They keep trying to force players to play the way THEY want you to play. They also added 4 new power sets. On the whole I am disappointed in them. I was expecting something fantastic, unique, interesting. No. They merely mimic other powers sets of their type. The tertiary effect is unique, I'll admit, but honestly they could use a bit more imagination. Meh.

Anyway, enough of a rant on that. Went out to a Japanese Steakhouse today, Sakura. Very yummy! And I got a lot more ideas that I have to use in my campaign (which I'm working diligently on). I'm also feeling in a bit of a funk again. I better get over this soon, whatever it is.
