I read the Candy Shop Wars recently (like, yesterday) and I liked it. Brandon Mull is a Utard (like me) writer, and he wrote the Fablehaven books, along with this stand alone novel. The book follows the seemingly standard template of having people involved in something bigger than them by the bad guys, and then they switch to the good guys. It's interesting how Brandon Mull's books all focus on children. This isn't uncommon, he's a children's author, but he writes about children in such a specific age group, which is around fifth grade.
Yeah. So I recommend it if you like fantasy and are looking for an easy read.
ENN EE WEY.
I got Mass Effect for the Xbox 360. It's pretty fun, but it seems almost... unfinished. There are no cinimatics, because the graphics are always amazing, but as a consequence of this, you can see the environment and people's bodies and stuff trying to quickly load into the detailed texture right in front of your eyes. It's kind of distracting as a space ship takes off to see the walls go from craggy gray to polished steel.
I've also been playing Final Fantasy X. It's also pretty fun, and I've had it for ages. If you've played it before, I've been stuck on the "Seymour Natus" stage. It's not even the final boss, but I had such difficulty with it. So I've restarted, and I've reached that point, so now I'm kind of nervous to progress to that point, because even the random encounters are really hard all of a sudden.
I've also signed up for Blizzard Betas. I'm hoping I'll get chosen for the Starcraft 2 beta, because that would be awesome, and the comic I submitted didn't win. D:
I will leave you with an updated version of my video game wishlist:
Bioshock 2
Assault on Dark Athena
Street Fighter 4
Modern Warfare 2
Starcraft 2
Resident Evil 5
Braid
Singularity
