MSc done!
Oral exam went well, got my MSc with distinction… They seemed to like my dissertation. ^_^
Professionally destroyed
Someone has invested a lot of time and effort to unravel the rankings in P.N.03. So Professional is officially better than Destroyer.
Japanese Food
Went to Abeno Okonomiyaki in London today (next to the British Museum) to have lunch with Chris, Lindsey and Nick. I had an excellent time and the food was very nice. Next we strolled off to Chinatown, where some sort of Moon Festival was happening which involved Lions eating (and spitting) cabbage and money… (?)
Colourful Grays
Something that no review of P.N.03 has mentioned is the lighting. It is very subtle but quite impressive. It seems that most surfaces are somehow specularly lit (most likely using environment maps). This creates some slight banding issues on gray-ish surfaces (either because of the low bit-depth of the environment maps or because of frame-buffer compositing), but the overall effect looks very nice. Or maybe my flat-panel display’s composite input has trouble digitising dark grays? In any case, it’s nifty!
Who’s the Boss now?
Well, I’ve gotten it. The caveat is that you have to possess all of the “regular” suits before beating Alraune to obtain it.
But…
Where is the bloody “Blackbird Suit”? I deserve it!
