I finished Ico last night and was completely blown away. At first, I was extremely annoyed with the controls, and the combat. I had to keep reminding myself that the game was over a decade old, and that some of the mechanics may not be as smooth as modern day titles.
On the other hand, the setting was intriguing, and I felt like I had to keep exploring. I love how the game never tells you what to do. It so well designed that it doesn't need to explain itself or give you hints. I liked that there wasn't a life bar or anything else on screen to clutter up the experience as well. The lack of dialog really had me thinking about the story, and where it was going as I was playing.
After getting used to the controls and upgrading my weapon, I couldn't put the game down. Ico is a truly amazing game.
I graduated in 2008 with a degree in Social Studies Education. I teach American History. I'm mulling over getting my masters in history or administration.
I understand what your going through. I'm getting married in 15 days, and unfortunately my father in law will not be there. He passed away in May. The wedding is going to be hard, my fiance and I are still having a hard time dealing with his passing.
They are herding dogs that were bred to round up sheep and other livestock. It's not like they are lame lap dogs. They need a lot of space to run around, and will get too pudgy without exercise.
Don't let any of the chicks know that your bummed about it. Try to find someone else to go with and act like you don't care. It will drive that girl who likes you crazy.
After the dance I'd confront your friends. If they knew that you were into her, I'd drop them like dead weight.
