Since I’d done one of the five tests, I figured I’d finish off the rest of them in Hellgate today, and they were actually easier in Nightmare than I remember them being on the normal difficulty. Since I knocked them off fairly quickly, I also made my way to St. Paul station and parked there for the night. Now I just have to kill Sydonai, though he’s supposed to be nigh-impossible to kill solo in NM.

I also popped into rFactor to try a bit of karting on the Calgary track, since that’s what I’ll be doing in real life tomorrow as a company “team-building exercise.” Turns out that the Calgary track available for rFactor isn’t the one we’ll actually be going to, though. Oh well.

And I also played Audiosurf for a bit, since it had been a while and various improvements had been released in the meantime. The major ones were a built-in ‘radio station’ for downloading new music tracks to try, some tweaks to how tracks were generated (seems to be more side-to-side curves now), and the ability to customize the gameplay by embedding certain tags into the MP3. I didn’t get a chance to try the custom tags, but I did become the top ranked player on various songs. Of course, they were obscure enough ones that I was the *only* ranked player…
