The Michael Swayne Story V: King of his Castle

It rained all day yesterday. On top of that, there was thunder and lightning in the morning and and again late last night as well, which is why I didn't post an entry before going to sleep. I am so tired right now, because I couldn't get to sleep. I don't know what time I finally conked out, but I think I may go back to sleep after I post this.

I played Nier all day yesterday. I have reached the halfway point in the game. Well, the first segment of the game. I managed to complete all of the sidequests available up to this point. So, I saved over my original file. Before I start playing today, I am going to delete my other save file. You never know when I'll need the extra space. I finally figured out fishing in this game. It's not that hard once you figure it out. The game had some useless information. It said to hit the X button when the fish bites to begin the reeling in process, but you don't use the X button at all. It's all the left analog stick. Oh well. I have complete five of the fisherman challenges, and that's all that matters. They're pretty pointless, because the reward for completing them are just an increase in fishing skill. What's more is that it detracts from the main story. Nier is trying to save his daughter, who for all he knows could die while he is out searching for a cure. But then mister fisherman goes and puts him on a boat for a month. And then Nier doesn't try and commandeer the boat to get back to Yonah. Or goes overboard and swim back to her. No, He just fishes. I hope that the final reward for fishing is that you get to wrap the fishing pole around mister fisherman's neck.

I sent a message to Mom last night, but I still haven't heard back from her.

I received a bill from my phone company saying I owe -$7.15. I already knew this, but I was figuring I would be getting the check. After all it's been nearly six weeks since I cancelled service.

I have the sudden urge to watch Miss Congeniality.

And that's about it. It's still raining right now. I hope to see you around the forums, and until then...

Later!

Michael
