Day 138: Raiding Tombs

I began playing Tomb Raider today.  It is just how I remembered playing it back when I bought it.  It was one of the first games that I bought myself.  I've had it for so long, and yet I never finished it.  Back then, I didn't see the appeal to it, and I found it to be boring.  Now, I still don't see what's so great about it.  Maybe it's just that you are playing as a woman?  Probably.

Anyway, I have gotten through the first two areas.  I know, it's not much, but it's a start.  I didn't want to get bored of the game and not finish it again, so I am pacing myself.  A level or two each day should fine.

And then throughout the day I practiced for the Osu! tournament.  I am slowly getting better at the maps.  If I can just raise the consistency with my scores, I will have a good chance to win.  The advantage I have right now is that I rarely play with mods on.  Yeah, my scores are naturally lower because I don't make the maps more difficult, but most people always play with mods, and then that's the only way they can play.  They find normal play difficult, because everything is always super fast.  My training partner tends to play maps with double speed.  That's good for him overall, but the tournament doesn't allow mods.  That's where I'll excel.

The tournament itself has seen a lot of people applying to participate.  So far, there are 2 in Beginner League, 1 in Intermediate, 8 in Advanced, and 65 in Expert.  I still perform the newest maps to help get more performance points.  Though I technically don't have to, I may ask to be moved up to the Intermediate League because of my ranking.  However, that could prove to be bad, because it means I have to learn 15 new maps.  Maybe I won't.

Well, that's all for now.  So, for the coming day, enjoy the games you play!
