A Plague Doth Cometh

So my grandmother is visiting from Baltimore. That's interesting, most certainly. We went to dinner tonight which hilarious and extremely dull at the same time.The dull bit was that it took 3 hours, and the hilarious bit was when she asked the waiter oh so politely to "Please ask those people in the table over there to be quiet". It was all I could do to contain my laughter as he stared at her for a few seconds, muttered something incoherent and walked off.
Anyways, good news in the gaming industry. It looks like games are picking up in style again. Mirror's Edge looks freakin' kickass. I'm definitely getting it if it comes out for computers, which it will according the rumors and such. My theory about game development is that one day the graphics and physics and all the programmed things won't be able to get any more realistic, so game designers will be forced to come up with better sotrylines and new ideas for gameplay to compramise. I'm halfway looking forward to that day, and halfway dreading it, because it will mean that there will no longer be much of a need to upgrade computers to deal with new graphics and engines, because all the ones out will require about the same amount of power due to being as lifelike as possible, which means that all the computer company's revenue will drop significantly. Anyways, that day is pretty far in the future, as well as near impossible to happen, so I'm not worried too much. Also, there's several sequels coming out for games I've enjoyed extremely: Portal 2, Starcraft 2, Bioshock 2 and Dawn of War 2, which is my most anticipated. Feast your eyes on some trailers:




Also, here's a little loop I made in an attempt to revive my animation skillz, or what there is of them. I don't think it's too horrible, but it could still use work...





Suggestions on it anyone?
