Just an update - 1/20/2012

I never thought my life could be
Anything but catastrophe
But suddenly I begin to see
A bit of good luck for me

'Cause I've got a golden ticket
'Cause I've got a golden ticket
I've got a golden twinkle in my eye

I never had a chance to shine
Never a happy song to sing
But suddenly half the world is mine
What an amazing thing

'Cause I've got a golden ticket
'Cause I've got a golden ticket
I've got a golden chance to make my way
And with a golden ticket, it's a golden day!

If you haven't figured out by now: I got into the "VIP" closed beta test for Continent of the Ninth Seal. Webzen is finally localizing the damn thing after three years. Better late than never, rght? Even though I'm eager to try this out, I am a bit curious as to how well this game will do once it's out on the market. Back when it was first annouced, it looked pretty slick, but now there's a handful of action MMOs out there, making C9 look a bit bland in comparison to titles like Vindictus and Dragon Nest... but that' s just me.

Other than that: I've been going through my backlog of articles including a review on Cabal Online, CosmicBreak, Face of Mankind and Vindictus. I just got started on Cabal, thinking it would be a nice bit of nostalgia since I played the hell out of it back in High School. Certainly doesn't feel as fun as I remembered it to be, though.

Hopefully I'll get that out of the way by next week.
