Wonderful rainy days.

Today the rain started. This puts a damper on my commute, but on a positive note it also makes it easier to stay in and play games. Drew and I booted up the PS2 and put in Psychonauts last night. Honestly I was hoping for more. Maybe because my father is a psychologist I was looking for something that exceeded my expectations and would live timelessly on my shelf. I loved the direction they went with the design concepts. Seriously, the idea of soring "emotional baggage" and confronting "figments of the imagination" are classic. But the art is average at best and doesn't seem well supported by technology. Somewhere on this game was a great designer, it's unfortunate that person didn't work with a team as good as they were.
