Burn My Dread
These days, I feel kind of empty (typical, happens everytime school is nearing). So I am aimlessly playing The Sims 2: Pets, and there aren't any good new CRPGs ... Oh well, I will have plenty in the year-end holidays.
Persona 4! Ar Tonelico 2! Monster Lab! And a few more that I've forgotten but will pick up!
Yakuza 2 is made of win. I spent my whole last night being a host at the host club 'Adam' ... so fun getting the
gals to buy the expensive beverages ... XD. When not doing my shift I went to cabaret clubs. Cabaret clubs are ... (editted from ThePatrick's FAQ ... and yeah, I am one who gives credit where it is due) Basically, there are these clubs in Japan called "cabaret clubs" where young, attractive women are employed to keep a guest company (and to get them to spend more money on drinks). No; they're not
necessarily just a place to get a prostitute--in fact, prostitution is illegal
in Japan. Well, mostly, but we're getting off-topic. Anyway, it's so fun. A simulation side-game in a brawler? Much more meaningful than dating in GTA. Or plainly hooking up some random
slut. My fav cabaret girls are ... Jun from Prime! Natsuki from Jewel! Karen from Shine! And I don't jerk off on virtual girls, that's a big no-no, in fact, I'm pretty much asexual ... currently.
Well, the holidays have passed. Quite a long holiday for once. Well, it's not actually long, but felt long. Maybe because I was just aimlessly playing The Sims 2: Pets. I should have studied like Jordan. He got 100% for Science Enrichment. I got only 95%. Boo. Well, whatever, so long as I'm still alive, I could care less. Why bother yourself too much? Bringing over my own personal
quote from last year (now forever immortalized in my desk last year using correction liquid): "You can fail in tests but don't fail in life." I guess it's something simple, but isn't an easy thing for people to realize, as since elementary school we have been made to think that tests are everything - as you can see there are beguiled, innocent kids who ended their own lives just because of crappy results. Teachers and parents should show kids a wider view on life. Geez, they shouldn't keep their attention all onto school only.
Dave Wittenberg is voicing Teddie! If that doesn't ring a bell, Teddie is Kuma's name in the US release of Persona 4. Dave Wittenberg was the VA for Gaspard of the .hack//G.U. trilogy. I seriously adore that kewt, chibi-style voice. Especially since it's coming from a MAN. Usually they'll just grab female VAs to do these kind of stuff, so I really like this change. However I
think that Wittenberg sounded TOO much like Gaspard while working on Teddie. I don't like
voices that sound exactly the same. I prefer variation.
I have been reading Diamond Is Unbreakable. In case you remember things poorly, it's the 4th arc in the JJBA series. For the first time ever the series got me touched (though I am yet to cry) during this scene:
could reach Jyosuke (Stand: Crazy Diamond) and Okuyasu (Stand: The Hand) for help, he was completely vapourized by Kira's Stand's ability. Well, I guess it was kinda predictable because if a supporting main character fights the main antagonist alone, the result is always death, since this trend has been repeated many times ... *cough* Kakyoin VS Dio *cough* Nero VS Diavolo *cough* Foo Fighters VS Pucci *cough*. Okay. So Nero wasn't exactly a supporting main character. Whatever. In the end, only the main protagonist gets the glory. This cliche is starting to get on my nerves. At least allow the challenger to survive ... sigh.
Oh dear, it's 4.00 a.m., well, I need my sleep. This was intended to be a long post, but I suppose I will continue later then.
