snow = think about Christmas

There's too much Christmas in the pre-Thanksgiving air.
And too much It's a Wonderful Life on this post.

----
I realized that in about 2 weeks I will have... some money from selling my textbooks. This will make paying postage possible. (this sentence brought to you by the letter P.) So because I love you guys and I don't need money to be happy. I would like to send out ~~Holiday~~ Christmas cards. I can't promise they will be all that special other than I wrote them and therefore impossible to read.

So I'll be needing your address.
And your favorite colors!

GAME IMPRESSIONS ; FRAGILE DREAMS

2010-03-17T03:05:08Z

i decided to do my own log of this game since i've been counting down the days since last summer. for 90% of the gaming community the must have game was FFXIII but for me it was Fragile Dreams: Farewell Ruins of the Moon. which i finally got today!

i have never taken the bus to the vally mall before. so that was a little bit of an adventure in itself. it's a strange feeling of freedom a bus pass can bring, just knowing i can be anywhere in the city i want. so long as i know how to read the schedule and can allow 5 minutes plus or minus each way.

i got into gamestop and told the guy working there i had a perorder i wanted to pick up. he looked at my receipt with surprise. "Fragile Dreams...? hm" then he rung up the price and retrieved the game from the locked drawers behind the counter. i could hear him muttering something as he looked over the box. over all i'd say he'd never heard of it (big surprise) but was now interested. he had some trouble opening the cabinet to get the bonus cd (really pretty music btw) because he was paying more attention to the case than his keys. haha

i had forgotten to ask the driver where the stop back to the plaza was when i'd gotten off at the mall. i knew the bus came at 2 and the next one wouldn't be for another half hour. i wandered around the parking lot for about 15 min. until i found were i'd gotten off and i saw the other stop across the street. that makes perfect sense!

but the cross light wouldn't change and the bus was almost there. so i ran across four lanes of stopped traffic. the bus driver laughed at me for living so dangerously and told me to be careful. "i couldn't risk missing the bus." i told him and he laughed some more and said "i'm glad you made it."

the rest of my trip went as it always did. i will reiterate that i HATE having to carry my coat around. it's so cold at 6:30 but by 3 it's a comfortable 55F.

[vague spoilers start here]

so i got home and no one was here. perfect chase to turn on the wii. this is the first time i've taken Tatsunoko V. Capcom out since getting it. haha.

starting up the game i just let it go with the defaults so english voice acting with english subtitles. immediately johnny young basch starts narrating about how he's truly alone in the world now that the old man he lived with has died. and i have to say i had some doubts but he does a good job. i believe him as a 15 year old. he conveys the emotions well and only made me think of bleach a couple times. it's slightly different than the voice he uses for ichigo. less mature and more sad, lonely...

seto is likable and identifiable, good traits for a main character. i find it cute that he doesn't know what a lot of things are. like the broken t.v. he says he wonders what the box is actually for, it reminds him a mirror but...
and the way he'd reminisce about the old man who raised him. just the little things like keeping track of his growth every year on the wall. the little things you miss the most... reminds me of when i lost my pop.

the only other character i've met is wendy lee's p.f. and for a computer she's very likable and unintentionally funny. she'll feel the need to explain which way is right by saying it's the hand you hold pencils with but seto is left-handed so awkward moment get. she's always calculating the probability that something will work or the chance of getting out safely. good thing seto is pretty optimistic.

is it res-pit or re-spite? because i've always said the latter but the a.i. pronounces it the other way. respite. not really a word i'm accustomed to hearing, mostly i've just read it.

and yes combat is really simple:
step one listen for the spirits.
step two sweep the room with your flashlight to make them visible.
from here it's just a matter of timing, keep the light on the enemy and hit A when they're close enough. if you timed it right most will only take one hit.

at this point i've only encountered three kinds of 'thought entities' the basic blue jellyfish blob. they're no problem i run over to them and hit them with my stick. then there were these arms reaching out of the wall. black and transparent. preventing my advance. it was actually fist time i felt a little scared in this lonely world. the third kind was a pack of dogs. they ran around a lot so it was hard to keep the light on them. and when i searching one would get me from behind.

this is not a game i got into for it's hack and slash. it was for the atmosphere, characters, and story. i already said what i thought about the characters so far so atmosphere. oh boy does it deliver. the game looks beautiful and i'm not even going to qualify that with 'for the wii' because the wii is capable of so much more than most developers are content to give us. but that's a rant for another time.

i haven't seen many locations but they've all felt like there was once a lot of life here. it's gone now. and every new location gets added to your map. have i mentioned that i love the map? it's so cute. it's like he drew it himself with crayons and he marks it up like in silent hill. but instead of circles and x's we get "GHOSTS!" with an arrow pointing to a staircase.

i'm a little bit stuck at the moment. my mission is "fallow the tracks" but there's a gate and a train ~~stopped~~ rusting at the platform. i probably have to trigger something. i'll sweep the room again when i get another chance at the tv.

tl;dr : was it worth the $50? yes. does it live up my self-manufactured hype? heck yeah.

i've always wanted to make a Kanye West joke

Day 08 → A photo that makes you angry/sad

2010-02-20T22:29:23Z

if a picture make me sad/angry I don't like keeping it around so I've got nothing for that. here's another meme:

Leave a comment saying, "COMMENT" and I will give you five words I associate with you. Then post this in your journal and talk about what they mean to you.

"It's a Wonderful Life"

BEST. MOVIE. EVER. What more can I say? I instantly fell in love with the characters and how their stories are all woven together. It's a simple concept, the way one man can touche the lives of everyone he meets so when he's shown a world without him nothing is the same. Although I do agree with the NC, his wife's life without him should have been different. There was no reason for her to never marry if there was no George. She had guys vying for her affection and she didn't seem to completely dislike them but she was holding out for George so logically if he had never been born she wouldn't have been hoping he'd marry her and would have probably gone off with that other guy like her mother wanted and no longer live in that town.
IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN THIS MOVIE YET I ASK YOU NOT WHY BUT HOW? It's on every year around Christmas... except I didn't see it on this last year.

Oh also! SHREK 4EVER AFTER? DO NOT WANT! The 3rd was pretty painful and now this... thing. The trailers don't look like a Shrek movie and it's BLATANTLY RIPPING OFF MY FAVORITE MOVIE. Not paying homage like so many other films and specials but RIPPING OFF.

Ouran HSHC

Haha, I loved this show. I haven't watched it since it was new though. I hear the dub is pretty good so I should probably go check that out. I never really got into the manga though. But I still use that Tamaki mood theme.

Haruhi Suzumiya

I used to RP her. Yep. Some people told me I was really good at her, no one really told me I sucked but I don't know I think kinda burned myself out on her and S2 didn't live up to my excitement. Here's hoping the movie turns out better!
hm...maybe we should start begging the people who publish the Haruhi novels in the states to bring us Baccano!

alchemy

This must be because of my journal name, right? I never talk about alchemy on LJ but it is a really cool SCIENCE to study about. It was my main reason for taking Chemistry instead of Bio or Physics in high school. And it makes me happy when shows and books reference and/or use alchemy in their plots.
And yeah I was thinking about FMA when I made this thing in case you were curious.

and a Wii.

I love my Wii. I'm kinda weird and like to personify my electronics so to me the Wii is a bouncy happy little guy that just wants to have fun and make friends. Even when the "next gen gang" hands the "no ~~girls~~ Wiis allowed!" sign on their fort the Wii doesn't let it get to him because he knows they're mostly all graphics snobs and it wouldn't be fun to hang with them anyway.

O HAI THAR just gonna leave this here

The IC Trick-Or-Treat meme!
[Li Hua | Roger | Haruhi]

...I need to come off hiatus one of these days. xX

TRICK-OR-TREAT!

2009-10-31T03:29:54Z

1 ★ Create a graphic (200 x 200 max size) to represent your personal "candy". It should have your username on it, but otherwise can feature whatever you want. Make it something special since it's self-representative.

2 ★ Make a post with the subject "trick or treat?". Put your "candy" somewhere in it, and be sure to repost these instructions.

3 ★ Then, go around other people's LJs and reply to them with either "trick" or "treat". If you reply with "trick", they will give you an LJ dare that you have to perform before taking their candy. If you're too wimpy for that, simply say "treat" and take their candy.

4 ★ List all your collected candies in your original "trick or treat?" post to show off your collection!

THIS!

Push those Daisies

2008-11-15T13:30:22Z

~~This is not a real update!~~

Everyone know Pushing Daisies? It's an amazing show I've been missing because I started school right when the new season started.

It's about a pie maker who can bring the dead back to life with a touch but only for one minute, any longer and then someone else has to die. It's kinda' the universe's way of keeping things balanced. So when his childhood sweetheart gets killed he brings her back to life and lets someone else die in her place. Only problem is he can never touch her again or she goes back to being dead. Forever. There's also his dog, Digby. Ned can't even pet his own dog.
Aside from being a pie maker, kind of an obsession of his, he helps a PI solve murder cases by waking the dead, asking them what happened, putting them back and collecting the reward.

That's my summery.

This show is fun, original, and pretty much the best thing since Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy The problem is it's in terrible danger of being canceled! D:

Please help us save Daisies?
Sign the petition! It doesn't matter if you've never seen it but just like the sound of it. I think it deserves to actually finish it's story.

no idea~

2008-11-10T10:33:54Z

I just had the uncontrollable urge to spam everyone on my f-list with this evil little tempting rp ad of... something?
I KNOW NOTHING. but um... It kinda makes me want to join? ~~as a Shaoran~~

But more than that I want to meet the mastermind behind all this. Creating hype without giving any info? That takes some srs skillz and foresight. And they were even creative enough to come up with cool movie-like tag-line "how will your echo sound?" and the banner itself is so pretty. Simple yet eye catching, small enough that it won't stretch or break my journal, grabbing our attention in 5 well written sentences. And somehow, although it says nothing about the game's actual plot people are already saying "I'm so there!"

Bravo anon game creator, bravo! Now we'll see what comes of all this in December, won't we? Don't let me us down!
