★ I picked up Persona 4 Arena about a week ago and it is PRETTY EXCELLENT. Also Laura Bailey-as-Rise/Risette is just the cutest thing ever and I wish she could narrate my life the way she narrates my fights. She's so concerned and enthusiastic about my videya gaem playing! I was fond of Rise in P4, but she's easily my favorite in P4A, despite not being playable at all.
★ Summary of an interview with Blazblue producer Toshimichi Mori! There is a whole bunch of stuff mentioned here, but this is what interested me the most:
-Arakune speaks in coherent sentences now.
I don't know how I feel about this -- Arakune's shattered speech struck me as annoying at first, then I thought it was a great idea, and now...I don't know. I want to know what's caused the change noooooooooooow, gdi.
-The old characters all had their themes remixed.
NEW MUSIC YAY =D
-(Direct translation) First of all, as you might guess from his attention to young handsome boys, Amane is interested in adding Carl to his traveling troupe. However, he also interests Rachel for some reason, so there’s going to be some interaction between them, too.
...WHAT
Anyway, there's a full translation here for more detailed info.
★ Screencaps of the stills from the end Blazblue CP PV I posted these awhile ago on tumblr and forgot to link them here x_x
★ I haven't been particularly impressed with DC's Before Watchmen series; the art is gorgeous, obviously, considering the artists involved, but the writing is at best uninspired and at worst seems to utterly miss what drove certain characters to act as they did.
Anyway, Before Watchmen: Dr. Manhattan was released this week and like...Straczynski are you even trying anymore. Seriously, how many times are you going to misuse the Schrodinger's cat experiment and trot out the many-worlds hypothesis in your stories? ALL THE TIME? At this point, I'm fairly certain that JMS is building up to the ~shocking reveal~ that Jon's reactor accident was--gasp!--not an accident but deliberately caused by *DUN DUN DUUUUUUUUUUN!* Dr. Manhattan himself. Except JMS has used this plot before and it was pretty dumb then and would be even less compelling now, and it doesn't really add anything to the Watchmen universe or enrich the original text and god this whole thing is just an exercise in pointlessness, which is not really a surprise but still, annoying. Dr. Manhattan is my favorite Watchmen character and I was hoping his Before Watchmen series would be at least mildly interesting, but now I have no desire to read it, even with the absolutely stunning artwork. :(
★ My current comics pull list: Action Comics, Daredevil, Dial H for Hero. Been thinking about adding one more, but honestly nothing is really catching my eye right now.
