Thirded, love me some Heathers.

I totes bought it yesterday because I just the gulliblest. I WANT MY TEARS BACK DICE

Aww, thanks for the shout-out Dice. I appreciate the thought; made my evening. :)

I never finished Genbu Kaidan, but I agree with the Takiko vs. Miaka thing. From the few volumes I read, Takiko was leaps and bounds more compelling and capable than Miaka ever was. Of course, Miaka is one of my least favorite characters in any anime or manga, so I may be a little biased.

Stomach flu. Done a lot of sleeping and barfing today.

And that, as they say, are the haps.

Yeah, I plan on getting something cheap, and not just for that reason, but also I wanna try to get a desktop soon as well. I dunno, just something I've been percolating about. I just feel kinda unsatisfied with just vidja games; I kinda want something else to be passionate about.

Now that I'm done with homework, I've been kicking around some ideas for some hobbies. I want to do some other things outside of games, so I'm debating on learning how to play guitar. I'm willing to invest time into practice, since I have learned how to play an instrument before (saxophone) and I understand that it will take a lot of time and hard work. Or maybe I'm just a savant and will be killer awesome. Maybe I'm just trying to fill the void where homework was?

Anywho, any tips on starting up with learning to play the guitar? Also, what other hobbies do y'all have outside of games? I know there's like a thread for this somewhere in the aether but whatevs I'm curious.

That trailer: Goddamn.

Working on my last project for my last class before I graduate. Its due tomorrow, and once I finish my practicum next month I'll get my Masters in May.

Pretty pumped about this.

Mass Effect: Anything with the Mako

Baldur's Gate 2: Irenicus's Dungeon (I know there's that mod to skip the beginning, but still) and that dungeon in the circus tent.
 
Persona 4: Void Quest (great concept, annoying dungeon)

Final Fantasy 9: The Ice Cavern. I just remember that dungeon dragging and fighting flan after flan after flan after flan.

999: Puzzles in later playthroughs.

I really don't want to see a remake of the Honeybee Inn, if for just the reason that the dudes there will be the traditional muscley gay stereotypes that are prevalent in anime and gaming culture. Not that the dudes there are positive portrayals of, well, anything, but I'd rather not see it get any worse.

This as well. Although I may change that based on whether its a type I've used a ton in previous games. For example, this gen I'm torn between Froakie and Fennekin, since I like Froakie aesthetically, but the last three Pokemon games I've played I've chosen water starters. Boyfriend wants Chespin so that's off the table.

I started replaying (rereading) Umineko no Naku Koro ni the other day. I had before played and read the first two episodes, and got through the 1st night in episode 3. However, I stopped at that point due to other obligations. I decided to pick Umineko back up and started back at the 1st episode and recently finished the 1st one again. It still holds up on a second playthrough, especially since I recently finished Higurashi and the music and visuals got a nice upgrade. The atmosphere and the themes of the story are still fantastic and it hasn't lost its creepy atmosphere, even though I know what was going to happen.

Some spoilerly thoughts for Episode 1:


In terms of theories, since I haven't gotten to the answer arcs yet, I don't know what really happens, but I do have a few thoughts:


Taking a break to do some homework, but I can't wait to get started and reread Episode 2, which, if I recall correctly, has an amazing climax.

I...I would play the hell out of that game.
