I've been playing the game God of War at every chance I have for the last week. It's one that I haven't played in quite a long time. For those who know the game, I'm currently at the Cliffs of Madness, the start of the upper section of Pandora's Temple. Still quite a lot of game left, it is rather long, I'd forgotten.

After I get through God of War, I'll move on to GOW2. After that, I think I'll play through some of the other game series I have on PS2, e.g. Devil May Cry, Prince of Persia, Kingdom Hearts, maybe even Final Fantasy X and/or XII if I have the patience

Other news, I have been very pleased to find out that people that I've worked for in the past are giving out my phone number and recommending me to people. Just yesterday I received a call from a woman who was looking for a piano soloist in a choral concert. She asked me for my fee, as well. That was excellent, but I really didn't know what to tell her. It is very difficult in the music industry to have a standard pricing system. Thinking back to someone I worked for previously, I used to receive around $250 to perform in a concert, so I'll take that as a base fee to begin negotiating with.

Expect more on games, I'll try to regularly update about my progress through my PS2 collection, whether it's going well or I've given up

About the subject of my last blog, my sister's ex who had the gun, something I didn't know at first is that shots were fired during the stand-off, but nobody was hurt. This incident was of course triggered by an argument he'd had with his current girlfriend the night before. The guy is receiving psychiatric assessment and treatment and will be in court on August 6. He's charged with firing a firearm in a public place, possessing a loaded firearm in a public place, possessing an unauthorised pistol and use of an unauthorised pistol.

EDIT: I beat GOW earlier, and moved onto GOW2, however it seems that the disc is a little damaged. While playing one of the cutscenes early in the game, it freezes up and I can't go any further. Given that the game has been in possession of my younger brothers for a fairly long time leaves me really no doubt that they didn't take care of it The good news is that I have free access to a resurfacing machine, so I'll try and get the disc resurfaced as soon as possible, but until then I'm leaving GOW2 alone to play something else.

I want to play through one of my game series I have, so why not do something interesting and put it to a vote? Assuming I can get enough voters Choices are

-Devil May Cry Series - DMC1, DMC2, DMC3 Special Edition, DMC4

-Prince of Persia Trilogy - Sands of Time, Warrior Within, The Two Thrones

It's between DMC and POP, I don't think I would have the patience for any long RPGs such as Final Fantasies or Kingdom Hearts, at least not now.
