Visions of Silver


Yeah! Pokemon Soul Silver finally came out in the states! which means I have it. I'm really enjoying it actually, there are people who say that the remakes are rubbish, but they're really not, the same nostalgic storyline, with added colour and animation, and now also your Pokemon following you, what's not to like?

Despite the sudden appearance of the game I have actually done some work today (shock horror). I wrote my pre-rewrite evaluation for Stage Writing (this is actually a load of crap, because I have yet to write the bloody script, but still, it's not bad). It was 1500 words which wasn't all that hard to punch out of the brain: total writing time = ~3 hours. Not bad considering I also wrote a post on my lit blog in that time.

Today has also been a day of training. I've recently begun to teach myself to heal on gw. AoM needs a healer for the big missions we do. It's fine to bring hero healers if there's space, but the other day there wasn't and Tom had to face healing along with Mark. Mark was fine, almost flawless in skill, but Tom frankly could have done better. And so, I set myself this task, to be able to heal a party of eight in Hard Mode.

I'm taking it slowly though. First healing in a couple of wanderings through the desert, then through caping some skills in Factions, then the Zaishen Mission (Minister Cho's Estate) in hard mode (first with a well formed team, and then with three warriors and just me), and then today some normal mode missions in EoTN.

It turns out I'm not bad at healing, though sometimes the lag does catch up. But in general people tend not to die around me (unless they're being a Sin and Noob at the same time and agroing everything at once). I'm learning quickly, though I'm kind of dreading this evening as Mark is going to put me up against different damage types to see how well I do. I hope I'll do ok, he's a bit scary as a teacher.
