My iPhone 4S arrived this past weekend. I disabled Siri because as much as I liked Computer from Star Trek: TNG, I was never interested in using it on the go. My home screen's wallpaper is a pic of our cat. The 8MP camera is amazing (and a lot better than the 3MP ala my then-iPhone 3GS). I can finally play Infinity Blade without any worries of slowdown. And I love the crisp display, almost like there's no pixelation at all.

Despite wrapping up the remaining weeks I have left for the fall term, I had a few moments to play some of my game library. The tower area in Shantae: Risky's Revenge (DSiWare) doesn't take itself lightly. It's a timed-specific mission and I've yet to reach the top. I'm slightly improving so it'll take me a bit to beat this part of the game.

I played a little bit of Dark Souls recently, but only so I could soul-farm in the Darkroot area. It took me a while to get the method right, however I won't be dependent on this area so I'll level up whatever stats I need before resuming more on my current progress.

Shortly after my iPhone 4S was activated, I purchased Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light (it was on sale for $1) and after playing the first two areas, I much prefer playing the PSN version (in which I should get back to playing, one of these days).

Last night I played a little bit of Ocarina of Time (original, not Master Quest) via OoT 3D and I'm currently in the process of completing it 100% much like I did when I played the N64 original. I mainly collected Skulltulas (which I'm now at the halfway mark) and a few heart pieces while as Child Link.

Despite my concerns regarding the 3DS, I'm willing to give it another shot. Given that I mentioned that Skyward Sword will be my last game purchase for the year, Super Mario 3D Land might break that oath. Then again I really don't need to buy it this holiday (unless if I see any deals for it on Black Friday or something), but in the end I might just wait until early next year to purchase it. Speaking of which...

I think I mentioned this comic-related project earlier on a previous blog or two this year. I'm going to at least try to get started on it early next year. I hope. *sigh*
