Dynasty Warriors 7 XL is killing me, and masochist in me is crying for joy. Damn. You. Nightmare. Difficulty. Legend mode is just about most beautiful thing I've seen lately.

Gameplaywise Wang Yi is lovely. Of course, she is so character wise too, as is Guo Jia also. Cannot say anything about his gameplay though, since I promised him to my roomie.

And you know that stage in legend mode where Lian Shi and Zhen Ji were having catfight with pretty video and all? I laughed. Damn forever Cao Pi crashing that pretty scene. Zhen was clearly ready assrape both Lian Shi and Sun Quan to the next week~

Finding nice MMOs when you're Mac owner is kinda hard. Offtopic: I don't think Macs are better than PCs. Honestly I just don't care. Anyway, I found out game called Wakfu yesterday. It looked kinda epic and what's more awesome - you can actually run that thing on Mac.

I installed Wakfu only to find out that their lastest... updater update(?) wasn't very successfull one, so the damn thing won't start properly. Great. Well, let's see that again in February when the beta testing is over and the game'll be complete. I'll be ready to rock.

Not that I wouldn't have more games I can play already. Effin DW7:XL and finally properly modified Playstation to play Sengoku Basara 2. How I am supposed to survive holiday week away from home, from those two darling disks of beat-them-up goodness?

Mildly pissed of just about everything after buying Dynasty Warriors 7 I left Livejournal and Koei Warriors unread for a while. You know, to take timeout from Koei's Warriors/Sengoku Basara fandom, because suffering so much for fandom is crazy people stuff. Ahem...

Anyway. Today I come back and what I will find?

Just the best fucking news ever! Warriors Orochi 3 will happen for real. It will be here, or at least in Japan sooner than god damn Christmas. Now I don't have energy to start to speculate wether Koei is gonna share this upcoming episode of most ridiculously awesome crossover ever with the rest of the world. Right now I'm just gonna enjoy my fangasm. Fearing that Koei is going to slap me in the face with cold fish like with SW3XL and Strikeforce2 will have to wait for another day.

I have waited this motherfucker to happen ever since laying Warriors Orochi 2. Since this spinoff series is kinda like huge guilty pleasure badfic, I have the most insanest expectations for this game coexisting with non-existant expectations. "Please WO, blow my mind again. Make me cry and laugh because of my stupid fangirlism. Give me my PiNari back - even single short dialogue between those fuckers will do me more happy than anything I can come up with right no. PLEASE."

I might wanna take aother long timeout now. BEcause suffering because of fandom is crazy people stuff.

EDIT Shuten-doji and Ne Zha look kinda awesome. And when I say awesome, I mean it yaoitasticly. I need new cracpairing anyway. What does it matter if only thing I know about these characters what they look like.

Except that pink haired chinese alien mystic is actually, technicly, that lesbian from Mystic Heroes?

Yopedooo...!

I've lost my sense of time few days ago - at least I think it is a few days ago, cannot know for sure because, well, I've lost my sense of time? Why this happened? Because of certain Samurai Warriors 3 combined to my roomie buying us real Wii classic controller pros to replace out broken cheap chinese copies. And boys, have we played!

These Warriors games, beat-them-ups or however you call them are such a devious games. I can agree with game raters who whine how repeatitive this genre is (though frankly, which genre isn't?), but... at the same time, truly, when you give these games you pinky, it continues to rip your whole hand off and sucks your soul. True story.

Regardless the virtual repeatitiveness I'm gonna use word refreshing to describe my current fangirlish and euphoric state of mind with little bit despair and frutration mixed in. I swear I haven't had this much fun since Warriors Orochi 2, though only because I had to skip Dynasty Warriors 6 and because Sengoku Basara, as badass series it is and despite the fact that I was Capcoms girl first, just do not reach into the level of Musou... in some certain, still undescribeable aspects.

Though we have owned Samurai Warriors 3 for like forever now, getting our hands on those better controllers has really brought up my perfect game completion tendencies. Yay, it is like with SW2:XL again, just withouth refreshing sugoroku breaks. Ah, the memories of beating favourite characters' dream stages on expert just because, and that tower, Katsuie, Kojiro, Ranmaru's and Okuni's weapons and top three horses! Even if SW3 do not offer 'are-you-fucking-me-?' level difficulty modes, fifth ultimate-ultimate weapons or cleverness of orbs spoofs, it is still challenging bastard. We're all the time short for those bigger red gems, and it bugs the hell out of me to know that we are three tanuki statues short of getting that awesome effin bear!! I very much gate bonus missions - oh why completing them is required for golden story mode clear and worse, ultimate weapons?

I kinda hate KiyomasaxMitsunari pairing, but I love the characters separately. Before... well, yesterday I hadn't thought very much of Kiyomasa. I don't know why, but while leveling him up I very much grew to like him. Motonari is such a deadpan snarker - I can't but wonder how sweet it would be if he would met his Sengoku Basara counterpart. Hojo clan went from lame to cool, in this installation, right from one extreme to another. I still love almost everyone but Ieyasu. But what the fuck is with Motochika? I can't but agree with everyone when they blame him from manipulating Mitsuhide because... well he is.

This is me, ranting about old game I've co-owned for a good while now. But I can help it D=

Pokemon aside, later last spring I had another coming of my other lost object of fangirling! Superheroes, superheroes.

I adopted love for them for my uncle, along Star Wars. X-men has always had special place in my heart, but they have been insidelines now. Instead I've been reading Iron Man and Deadpool and dear god, have I been enjoying comics more than this in ages!! - Nope. And as a sucker of even the suckiest superhero movies I can say that Iron Man movies seemed better than I remembered. Much better.

After spending my whole visit to my parents with Deadpool and Cable however, I missed animanga and that... at times totally fantastic, and at others totally crappy dramaturgy japanese do with their cartoony goodness. Ha ha, so to go with the medium and picked somewhat hyped Tiger and Bunny.

I have no words for Tiger and Bunny, but this is wholly sympathetic and satisfied silence. I was pretty concerned about complains of extravagant gaylust fanservice apparently stamped all over the anime, that's what I heard beforehead, but it seems that I have either lost my yaoi goggles because... I've seen worse. Or better, whicever perspective we take.

Well hello, brace yourself for more pokemon.

I 'hacked' pokemon game two days ago first time in my life. God bless that genius wo came up with Pokesav. I suppose it is also good thing that I do not have access to wi-fi, and I'm generally uninterested in battling online, because as far as I've come to understand hacking is bad thing.

Wouldn't do otherwise if I had time machine, however. I'm in love with the idea that I do not need to waste TM's. That's pretty much most of what I have done: taught my monsters moves, but only legit moves, if that redeems me even a bit. Well yes, we created army of shinies for my roommate, and turned few of her legendaries shiny, plus got her azure flute because thanks to can't-remember-which-movie Arceus is now her second or third favourite pokemon. I admit, Arceus is kinda cool, but in the movie he sounded like gay.

Back to the pot. I didn't turn any of my poopsies shiny. If I had turned one, I should have turned all six just because, and unfortunately all of my monsters wouldn't have looked so awesome as shiny. In fact, I think perfect shiny team would look even more tacky thank perfect legendary team. I did one totally impossible pokemon, however: Umbreon, with extrasensory, cant remember what other move and perfect IV's.

I have best reason ever. She is my favourite Eeveelution. Everyone knows that attacking move on her would be usually a joke, and only thing she is good at is being mean look+baton pass annoyer, which is not possible in gen v. It sucks that she do not learn crunch. Umbreon just sucks.

But not this time.

I wanna write a crossover fanfic like thirteen years old. It would be epicest crap ever, because it would be like Sengoku Basara and Pokemon put in blender. I dunno. Knowing me the main character would be Yukimura, and he would be somesort of mid-boss goon from Kai gym obviously specializing to fire pokemons. Yep. And then the gym leader Shingen becomes ill or something, and Yukimura goes nuts, and goes on journey like in Sengoku Basara 3. You know, to sorth things up. Sasuke could be his main battling pokemon, but I have no idea what pokemon he would be. Masamune of course would be the rival character, and might be or not also gym leader. Kojuurou woul be his badass electric-type pokemon. And then Yukimura would just go on adventures thought the Sengoku region and meet all sengoku basara characters turned to pokemons or pokemon trainers. Nobunaga would be of course champion of elite four. Kenshin could be in elite four too, and Ujimasa without a doubt, Kotaro as his badass main fighter pokemon. Toshiie and Matsu would be the daycare couple. Magoichi would own murkcrow. Yumekichi would be simisear. Motonari would be grass gymleader, oddly owning solrock as his main pokemon. Motonari would be contantly challenged by Motochika in battle for the pokemon leagues offical licence for calling you gym the offical one. Like that story of Sabrina beating the crap out of that late fight pokemon gym in saffron city. Like Motochika and Motonari seemingly fight each other, supposedly to settle who is the true guardian/lord of inland sea. And as if this wouldn't be enough, the criminal team around would be mysterious Team Zabi. "You have been challenged by Team Zavi Grunt". Like that.

I just needed to get this out of my head. Sorry for huge amount of typos in this and that earlier post. I'm tired, and I couldn't care less of spell and grammar checking.

During my time of disfunctional internet I've played quite lot pokemon. Blacks storymode two times, planning to do the third round + Soul Silver to help my roommate get Groudon, because that's one of the few monsters her almost complete pokedex needs.

Back in the days when second generation of the Pokemon was new and hot, I remember that I had not enjoyed any Pokemon game more than Crystal. Now, beginning Soul Silver felt like I would have returned home - in the Johto region of dear memories, plus with much more vision actually how to raise and battle pokemons. As kid I never kinda thought it, and made pokemon learn bad HM's and screwed their movesets altogether.

So here I was, heading for the third gym with my team of three pokemons: starter female croconaw Fafnir, at first as HM slave intended female rattata Techie which I had grown to like and decided to keep as my good side, and with it's Leech Life useless male zubat Yakun. Sad, but these were only pokemons I had faced, and wanted in my team. Well, not maybe that rattata, but as said I had chosen to keep her. I had catched gasthly too, but since I always have gasthly if that only is possible... well, I was kinda looking for change the pattern this time.

From goldenrod city started my downhill, in the form of game corner. As soon as I realised that there I had chance to get Dratini I was instantly on it. There was just tiny little problem, namely the insane price tag on that damned Dratini. Curse me for not getting cold feet, because I played the rest damn day that invention of the Devil game Voltorb flip, and eventually got my Dratini but... darn. I've never been math person. I'm smart and kick myself through mathmatics courses easily, but that will never mean I like it. I freaking hate math. I hate sukodus and all that kind of crossnumber shit japanese seem to love like lunatic one loves porridge. Needless to say that flipping voltorbs... kinda took it's toll on my mental stability for the rest of the evening.

I admit it, gamecorner got it perks. Dratini, and in theory infinitely flamethrowers, ice beams and thunderbolts, which sounds like sweet honey, if only there wouldn't be that hours of calculating between you and the price. I'm seriously on the verge of going x0 or selfdestruct myself. DAMN VOLTORBS!

And so you can laugh little more, when I thought I would never go back to gamecorner again, I thought wrong. I chose Flareon as my fire pokemon. As anyone, I love how incredibly cute eeveelutions are, but at the same time I hate how... totally crappy their stats and movepools are. My favourite is umbreon and I'e never get to use her frankly because attacking move on her is joke. I have annoyer Umbreon in my Black savefile, but ingame annoyer is just useless.

God bless my player characters mother for using the money I chose to send her on firestone. There I had Flareon, but without any good attacks, and next gym would be the Ice one. Flame Charge did not exist before the 5th gen. Oh crap, but then I had brilliant Idea. Buy flamethrower from game corner, which would require five times more vork than Dratini. Ooook...

Took two days and at this point I think third of all the time spen on my soul silver save was time spent on game
corner.

At the Ice gym I got seriously shocked. That old fart used Dewgong as his main pokemon. fire attacks 'not very effective'. Make it double. Dragon gym. Leaders main: Kindra.

Around 13000 coins spend on gamecorner is going to become 23000... because I seriously need thunderbolt. Yat Voltorb Flip! I want my sloth machines back. Can we add a little bit more irony into this? Yes we can. I heard that japanese version do not even use this new game in their corners this awesome crossnumber thing. No. They still retain those sloth machines of more innocent happier times. Sloth machines which were taken from european and american pokemon trainers because of overselsitive moms or something. I don't even now.

Srsly.

Motherfuckers, guess who collected Samurai Hero trophy in Sengoku Basara yesterday? Hint: I did.

Of course I have some fugitives to hunt and one or two objectives to unlock in less played stages, but I suppose after that i may leave the poor game to be.

Mostly to Gominolasyfresa, and... people who have wondered why I have been so offline, my internet is has not been working properly last month, and is not going to do too soon, but this situation is going to be fixed, I hope, at the beginning of June.

Stole this from Darksilverhawn. God bless that awesome woman.

From top to bottom, from left to right. Maybe I commedn these someday.

Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time - First Zelda game I played. Damn I still replay this again and again. Magic has not changed even if the tears of angry forever failing 8 years old has changed to the tears of 20-something nostalgiafag.
Final Fantasy VIII - First Final Fantasy. VI, IV and IX have stolen it's place as favourite, that's it if I could put these in line. I will never abandon Ultimecia = Rinoa theory. I played it first time looking the story through those goggles. I don't think I could do it any other way.
Kingdom Hearts - To hardcore FF fan who had grown up with Disnay and Moomins this was like drug from the momen one to far away to the future.
Devil Kings - This made me dig Sengoku Basara. I just do not have heart to be mad at this game. Spoonfull of sugar, like Mary Poppins said. With a little use of imagination you can cover up the flaws of the floppy localisation and find unque kind of edge no other SB game after this gives away.
Pokemon Crystal Version - Forever I thank my dear cousin who let me play her pokemon games. Poor me who never got gameboy. Crystal was my favourite... I miss my starter girl Ferligatr now...
Onimusha: Dawn of Dreams - As shamefull as it is, this made me Onimusha and Sengoku period geek. Gameplay of this game was mindblowing, heck I even loved the plot an d all. Zombie killing samurai's, what mor eyou want. PS. forever waiting the 5th game to come.
Claw - Alongsize Zelda this gamehas extra special place in my hear forever. Pieates, pirates!
Samurai Warriors 2: Xtreme Legends - First Warriors game. Lukewarm first impression grown to forever burning fire. Thank you Koei for the best history lessons I've ever had.
Devil May Cry 3:Special - First DMC. Funny thing, I started to play as Vergil first. After playing the other games, excluding and hearing the new of fifth... I don't know. I'm worried of the direction DMC is taking...
Crash Bandicoot - PS1 was my first own console. Crash Bandicoot games were my favourite. I rebought the third game a while ago. It irked me a little how rusty I was, but playing the game felt still like meeting an old friend first tame after long time.
