This has been quite a term… these last few months has been stagnant. I haven’t been watching anime actively and this blog is suppose to be anime related.. since I put my site around some RSS aggregates. Just these last couple of days I am catching up and doing anime marathons on everything I missed during the autumn and summer anime season. This post will be just about the stuff I did. It is kinda funny. I would much rather stuff about my life to the internet where everyone can read it than on Facebook where only people I know read it.
Anyways, here is my list of anime I watched, games I played, guitar songs I mainly practiced, and stuff I did in 2010.
YEAAAAHHH!!

I really felt like I need to share this. I Got Next is a documentary by Ian Cofino and is about the fighting game community. He goes and talks to players, new and old to the scene, and gets their input as to what they think of it at their current state. Anyone serious about the game deeply cares about the community and wants to see fighting games grow to higher than when it was its peaked several years ago before the arcade scene died out.

I just downloaded the demo and I got to say… The shit is awesome.
Alma is one scary ass bitch. Her malice is stronger than ever. In FEAR: First Encounter and Extraction Point, Alma is mostly up in your face. Now she’s a lot more aggressive directed towards the protagonist than any other character. You’re no longer playing as the Point Man but rather Michael Becket, member of the Delta Force Team who was sent to arrest Genevieve Aristide who was behind Project Origins. The game takes place thirty minutes after First Encounter.

LONG ASS TITLE.
Need a picture for this post.
Copy paste from Atlus.
About Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Summoner 2: Raidou Kuzunoha versus King Abaddon:
A new threat to Japan’s Capital calls for the return of its case-solving, tube-slinging Devil Summoner: Raidou Kuzunoha the 14th. When a woman walks into the Narumi Detective Agency and asks to find a man, Raidou’s boss is reluctant to accept, but soon it’s clear there’s more to the case than it seems on the surface. It isn’t long before Raidou is on the trail of crooked gamblers, masked ninja, and strange insects… a trail leading him inexorably to the mysterious King Abaddon.
Sounds interesting. Looking forward to playing it. Might preorder for the plushy.

I finally beat the game.
Completion Time: 103 hours 46 minutes.
Now I can have to look back at the game and compare it to it’s predecessor, Persona 3 FES. Most of the stuff here will sound generally the same as anywhere else from an official review site except that I know what the hell I’m talking about. As much fun as I had with P4, I was quite disappointed in a few things about the game. But before that, here is my analysis of the game and every other thing about it.
A hell of a lot of spoilers here. Since I do not have a TV capture card yet. I will just throw in random Persona 4 pictures I find from the internet.

School has just about to began again and I most likely will not be touching the game much until Reading Week next month. Kind of disappointing since something huge just happened.
Anyways, here’s an update for those who care.
Game mode: Expert
Time spent: 83 hours 17 minutes.
Boring blog post ahead. Possible spoilers.

The otaku game came out a few days ago. I just picked it up a few minutes ago.
Not a good idea to take a picture while driving…
I have some other things to do before I start playing this.. I would have to finish Persona 3 again and get through “The Answer” scenario. If I was to start P4 before finishing it.. I probably would never pick up P3 ever again.
Also need to finish Eternal Sonata but that could wait.
But even before I can do that.. I will have to study for a final exam on Monday.
Good bye social life.
Artbook is top tier.

Continuing on from last time, I am now looking at YMK. A game by Ruf. English translation and poorly edited by Peach Princess. I’ll mention again that I picked this up mainly because of a funny screen shot from the 4chan image boards. Many people were saying it was good so I decided to give it a shot out of pure curiosity.
What can be said about this game that hasn’t been mentioned by junkies. Features three girls each suffering from unique dilemmas. It deals with big issues that is happening in Japan and the rest of the world. Everyone should know how a visual novel plays so I won’t bother going with the mechanics of it.

I sort of set this up to lead into this two posts ago. My focus has not only been on SWR but also on some eroges. I would say it has been at least a few years since I decided to pick one up to play.
I don’t remember what gave me the sudden urge to want to play it. I was most likely a 4chan thread I read some time ago on ‘Yume Miru Kusuri’ where you see a catgirl like character saying that semen gives her power. I will go more depth about that game later but before I decided to fire that game up. I decided to go old school by playing a ten year old h-game called Dividead.

I have a habit of putting things off until later on. A draft post still requiring me to do some minor picture updates has been in the works for about three weeks now. It isn’t that I have anything better to do. But one game I’ve been playing lately is Scarlet Weather Rhapsody (Touhou 10.5).
Sequel to Immaterial and Missing Power. This new fighter has been taking away my soul. Because of this, I’ve been neglecting my Melty Blood.

Closed beta has ended a few weeks ago and open beta soon after. Stuff happened these last two weeks and I finally gotten around to doing something. I’m too absorbed into this game…
Last week, me and my nerd anime friends made a guild. I believe that this was the best name we could come up with based on all that has happened in game so far.
I thought it was funny when someone came out and yelled out “POOL’S CLOSED!”.

It’s almost been about a week since I’ve started playing the closed beta testing time. I absolutely love the game. I’m not spending too much time absorbed in it mostly because I don’t want to burn myself out when open beta comes around. It’s well known that closed beta usually wipes before the open comes around.
The game following the item mall style is nice because it doesn’t really force the person to grind themselves stupid until their paid period is over. The item mall states for the equips is still uncertain right now. Whether or not they provide any defense and such is still unknown to me since the people that has these equips right now are very snobby.
Primitive Catgirl… or fox?

About over a year ago, we finally see the release of the 3rd and final installment of the Mother series. The last game, which was called Earthbound was released about ten years ago and was for the Super Nintendo console. I cry a little bit when people tell me they’ve never heard of Earthbound or the Mother series before Super Smash Brothers. The sad thing about this game. It may never see localization and possibly be a Japanese only release. Very similar to the Final Fantasy 5 game. This time, it isn’t made by Square and our chances of seeing it is very small.
The graphics for the game doesn’t seem to have evolved at all but then again. It is made for the GameBoy Advance. The battle screen looks the same with random colours in a water flow-like background. There still seems to be that element of wit around every corner and behind every wall of the game. You’ll have to play the game to understand what I’m talking about.Currently, the translations for the game seem to have come a long way. They still have a huge chunk of the game to translate though. Although I know nothing of the people working on this project. I am glad to see that there are these dedicated people trying to please the Earthbound community. Good people working on it.Every update on their site gets me so excited. Check out their 1 year later video. It’s very exciting.. in a nerdy way.

Again, I found another gem off of Kotaku.
Japanese developers Idea Factory and RED bring us Record of Agarest War, the “Soul Breed” strategy RPG. Players capture the hearts of game heroines to “create” a successor. When this happens, there is a “special” movie that’s shown. The new successor is then revealed.
A strategy game for the PS3 that requires.. breeding? Those crazy Japanese.
With an anime like style artwork and a high chance of adult content. This game could have been made for the PS2 looking at the technology they used. I strongly doubt that the game will be localized here though. A real shame too.. it looks like it is going to be so fun to play. It has that Disgaea feel to it but I doubt it will be as comical. I’m looking for more artwork and official screenshots to be posted on the main site. And game play videos from gametrailers.com.
If Metal Gear Solid 4, Fatal Frame 4 , Disgaea 3, Silent Hill 5 and Grand Theft Auto 4 isn’t enough reasons to dish out a big wad of cash for a PS3. Still need to wait it out. There are no games I really want to play on the PS3 at the moment so I don’t think I feel the need to buy one at this moment. Not that I have that much time to absorb myself into a game for 10 or more hours. Oh woe.. How I wish I did.

These last few days I’ve been playing this game. It’s the first time I’ve ever heard of the series and I picked it up through suggestion from a friend. The price tag for this game was quite a hefty amount. I’d say it was a good investment overall. You can say I’ve somewhat grinded these last two days playing it about 24 hours of play time. But it doesn’t feel like it what so ever.
The characters in this game are as realistic as they come. You play as a mysterious high school male whose name is whatever you want it to be. The music is unlike any other, it’s uniquely composed and very fitting to the style. The comic book like style of animation and the clean character design is simply amazing. Again, the characters in the game are very real. Such as you met people whom have problems (most of the time at least) and being the new guy that you are, you help them through it. Whether it be comforting a little girl with her parents, helping your classmate get some action, and even flirting with your dorm mates.
I really like how it is open and you’re free to make friends with whomever and however you want. It even has a little dating simulator in it which makes it a little more interesting. During the day, going to school and answering little questions, improving your popularity and knowledge. Studying for tests and joining clubs. And at night, fighting evil. There is just so much to do but very little time to do it.. given only a 1 year calender. Love the beach part. :)
One of those games where exists replay value. I will definitely replay this game when I finish it. Aim for a more perfect save file.

I’m already looking forward to a possible 4th Persona.

A few days ago, I had the sudden motivation to start playing Disgaea 2 again. And yesterday, I finally finished the game. Just like the first, it did not disappoint me. The dialog is comical and the characters were all unique. The ending pretty much cleared up all all mysteries and how everything fit together.
What is nice about this game is that it has replay value. Although fighting through the story just to get to a certain point is pretty gay and I hope they will improve on that in the next game. The main reason why I’m playing it again is because of …

I just went through this visual novel by Key/VisualArt and I’d have to say it was really good. Now you think when I say visual novel, it would have adult situations and all that. Wrong. There is none what so ever. Unlike most visual novels, you can’t pick paths or anything like that for multiple endings. You can go in only one direction and there is only one ending. Planetarian came out in 2005 so it isn’t exactly new to the world. To be honest, I’ve been putting it off for some time.
The original cover.
