uni life

So I've just moved in to uni halls and so far all is peaceful... No stoners wandering around and no streakers jumping in to hedges. To put it bluntly its quite dull, no one knows anyone and everyone wanders around with their heads in their arses. Where is the non-stop drinking of freshers? where are the late nights and crazy stories?? I'm not even a particularly outgoing person, as any one who has read any of my other posts could probably guess, yet here i'm the most outgoing person around.
On the upside the accommodation is great no mold, no rodents and a half decent mattress.
From this point uni life can only go up, the few people who don't jump half a mile when someone says hello are very nice and so given enough time the rest will come round.
Anyho that's it for another rant

Magicka


Finally a small studio has put out a decent game. All too often small studios produce games that look cheap, have a shit plot line and are just BORING. Magicka completely changes the game. Designed by arrowhead studios magicka uses a 8 element system to produce Magicks, the main way of killing things in the game. Sounds confusing but after a while it becomes very intuitive.

With an engaging campaign with replayability (often a gaping hole in small studio games) magicka also brings a challenge mode, survive waves of enemies and a PvP mode. With the many dlc packs the challenge mode becomes almost as extensive as the campaign and 4 new pseudo-campaigns give even more. This cheap as chips game is better than almost all large studio games and definitely deserves a place on the steam best buys list.
