The main reason I haven’t been writing in my blog is that there’s nothing to talk about, without spending some time…. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Since the beginning of the year, I’ve been struggling with work; it really piled up in the holiday seasons, and I want to be able to buy some time to be able to dedicate myself to games again… specially because I’ve been having an idea brewing inside of me that’s begging to be developed… for now it’s just a story (one that I rather like) and a game mechanic (summoning\/possession based), but hopefully it will grow into something really neat; problem is that I want to develop this one by myself (so there’s the “surprise” effect of the story in everyone), and I suck at art! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Anyway, I’m almost completing one project, and the next one is more or less under control, so hopefully I’ll have time for some more game development stuff (my own project and the bigger game I’m developing with some friends), and for the return of my “feature blog posts” (which take some time to write properly!)…<\/p>\n

Damn, my blog looks more and more like one of those blogs that get abandoned after a while, and I certainly don’t want that!<\/p>\n

So this post isn’t completely bereft of real content, a word of caution: don’t see “Skyline”… it’s sucks so badly it hurts; it’s not because of the limited scope (it all takes place in a building), or the low-budget special effects (I can live with that)… it’s because they spent 45 minutes developing characters (in the most boring way ever, I might add), to throw all that character development out the window and replace it with a slasher-cum-alien invasion movie, with no sense of purpose or direction…. and the end of the movie (while a tad lame) could have been a decent beginning to it, to be honest!<\/p>\n

So, I’m giving this one a 3\/10 (I’m being generous ‘cos the movie only cost 20 million to make, which is cheap for today’s standards)…<\/p>\n

Can hardly wait to be able to watch Tron (it only came out yesterday here in Portugal)… from what I’ve heard, the movie is awesome! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
