get at me blazblue
Jan. 23rd, 2012 03:21 amso someone posted this video of Relius performing his Astral Finish on every character.
THINGS I ENJOYED:
-Arakune in a beaker
-Makoto being called a lab rat
THINGS I DID NOT ENJOY:
-goddamnit GET AWAY FROM CARL
-Relius being a creeper in general. (I'm usually all over creeper!scientist character types, but Relius just upsets me for reasons i cannot quite articulate.)
in other gaming news: SOUL CALIBUR V IS OUT AT THE END OF THE MONTH OMG OMG OMG \o/ i've been trying to avoid reading too much new information so that I don't get all, like, hyper-excited and stuff, BUT. this close to release it's hard not to get embarrassingly impatient. it sounds like at least half my xblox friends list is planning to get it and aaarrgggghhhh i just want to play it RIGHT NOW /fan hysteria
There are some gaming shops in MA that are having midnight openings for SCV, and while I haven't decided whether or not to go to one, I'm leaning towards HELLS YEAH. Both stores are pretty out of my way, though, and idk if I want to go driving around MA in freezing weather at 12am. I wouldn't have thought a second of it a few years ago, but I'm significantly less...adventurous these days. :P
FFXIII-2 is out the same day, and I was planning on getting both, but looking at the costs of buying two new games at once, plus the list of other games I'd like to get in the next two months, I am probably going to pass on it until it drops in price. Having played the XIII-2 demo, my impression is that it's essentially XIII with about a million more menu screens between you and the paradigms you want to set up. I guess all the extra stat adjusting is supposed to convince you that XIII-2 is more fun than XIII? Compared to the jump in style from X -> X-2, the XIII-2 system just feels like an extensive update - something like an add-on - and not a completely new game as X-2 was, coming from X.
also from what little i've picked up story-wise, it sounds like it will be about as coherent and engaging as The 3rd Birthday, which is not a compliment in any way, shape or form.

I deleted my livejournal earlier in the week, and then this post showed up on their front page, which had a link to an article detailing LJ's plans moving forward. At the end was this little gem:
"LiveJournal's leadership has made it clear that their future American business strategy lies in generating new traffic rather than catering to the service's current small-but-loyal membership."
i guess i made the right decision, wouldn't want to burden LJ with my old-user money or anything :|

Speaking of both gaming and leaving LJ! I wonder if I should do another video game friending meme, since there have been so many new people signing up for DW?
...I'll probably end up posting one later in the day. XD
