End of a Galactic Adventure
I beat Super Mario Galaxy this afternoon, but just went for the minimum 60 stars so that I could say that I’ve beaten it rather than aiming for a higher total. It has 120 like Super Mario 64 (and Sunshine?), but collecting all those would probably take at a minimum another week or two because of the scaling difficulty in the later galaxies.
After finishing Galaxy, I started Lego Star Wars. I had heard very good things about the first one when it initially came out, didn’t pick up the second for whatever reason, and now this version is both of those games combined together with the features from the second added into the levels from the first. I haven’t really been using the motion sensing all that much as I’ve been finding it easier to just hit B, and I haven’t fallen in love with the game yet either. It’s entertaining, but it also looks like it’s one of those games where there is a shorter campaign and lots of extra stuff to do. Good for a quick playthrough, bad for me probably ever seeing a significant part of what the game has to offer.
My first exam (Digital Logic) is at 2:00 tomorrow, and it’s even an open book/note one. My exams Wednesday and Thursday will require slightly more reviewing, Friday is a take home exam that I should start on tomorrow, and then Monday is a presentation that I have yet to create. Nothing really hard or even all that time consuming; I just need to make sure that I pace myself well over the next week. After that, what needs pacing??
