Zone Of The Enders & Metro 2033

Even though i SERIOUSLY shouldn't have, i decided to play Zone Of The Enders: The 2nd Runner for a bit this week, and i will admit, I am a big fan. On Normal, it's rather challenging, but you can expect no less from an old PS2 game. It's a fantastic mech game though, straight out of the mind of Kojima, and it's pretty darn good. It has SO much MGS2-ness going on, and the anime cutscenes are quite cool and interesting. I've played for quite a while now, and i'm still having fun, although it's gotten harder. It's always nice to discover a fun PS2 game =>

I also managed to complete Metro 2033. Although it feels like i've lost a few years off my life because of it, it didn't take too long, and by the end was quite worth it. I thought it was a bad game and was really disappointed initially, but it's mainly cause of the bit i was stuck on. To be honest, the first 3 hours and last 5 hours that made that game to me. The middle 4 hours were ANNOYING. In the end though, it was a generally fun, spooky and at times scary adventure. What took me by serious surprise was the fact that there's a secret ending which you can only get by making the 'right choices'. Without ruining anything, let's just say you end up making a COMPLETELY different decision at the climax of the game. *sigh* This is why i say 'morality' in games is nonsense. It can be a nice feature in some ways, but to me it's mostly gimmicky and unnecessary. I do love how Kojima adds secret unseen paths in his games where certain choices will alter certain conditions, but i like how he doesn't pass them off as 'moral'. Oh well.

Anyway, new week. Work to do, games to play, anime to watch, books to read, loneliness to feel...

Death Of Tradition & Grow

Well, looks like a hatchet was finally buried and a new development has shown itself. Either way i feel as lonely as hell T_T The details aren't even worth mentioning, but i will say that i've decided to stop doing a certain thing that, when i think about it carefully, i do a little bit too much. I figure it's not the way to get things done, and it's a relic of the past, so there's no reason to keep pushing it. Maybe things will work out for me in one way or another, but i REALLY need to just let this one go.

In other news, i've had an interesting Easter of soul searching, self-acceptance and tears. Yes, tears. As friggin usual ¬_¬ But i suppose i grew in some way over that time, and it's nice to see progress rather than nothing at all. Though it felt like a hard transition, and now i feel very confused about alot of things that i thought i was sure of. But, i'll just leave it to fate and the flow of time to determine where i'm headed. Until then, i gotta endure some more school now. Fun times =>

Blur & Final Fantasy XIII

Wow. What a week. And here I was thinking I would revise this week, but there's some time for that soon enough. Anyway, all of a sudden on Xbox Live appears this random game demo called 'Blur'. Now from what i remember it's a racing game, said to be a rival to Split Second. I'm a big fan of Pure, and i think Disney will do well with Split Second as it looks FANTASTIC. And i think that's what made the Blur multiplayer Beta so much more amazing. We called it Mario Kart meets COD. As in, fast paced racing with power-ups and cool visuals, with levelling up, 'perks' and even challenges. The rank is capped at 15 for the demo, but that day i played it all the way to 14 on the several different modes, such as Powered-up Racing, which is up to 20 players!! Sure it lagged out every now and then, but it was NUTS. Me and about 6 of my friends were playing it, a big break from MW2 which we seriously needed. I gotta admit; Blur is one to watch =>

Through sheer luck, and i'm seriously appreciative of this, I got to borrow FFXIII off a friend. Not really sure what to expect, the game seriously exploded into action right in front of me. I don't care what ANYONE says, it's bloody amazin, a fantastic addition to the FF series, and Snow is the greatest character in there. Everyone thinks he's a douche bag cause he brags alot and says everythin will work out, but i think it's just part of how he's brave and tries to help everyone. It's a touching tale of the differences between people, finding lost bravery, and fighting against an enemy which is far beyond human imagination. If anything, it's one of those games, perhaps like FFX or even FFVII, where it locks you into the characters so much that it becomes and engaging package. Sure they seem obvious to figure out, such as Hope, the kid who HAS NONE and whines alot. But he's the one that develops the most, and manages to become brave despite his mom's death. There's this whole deal with Hope and Snow, which is sorta a big deal to the story, and is my favourite part of it all

At the moment, i'm in a sticky situation now. I just beat a hard boss, but after the cutscene in the aftermath of the battle, it's askin me to put in Disc 3...But MY FRIEND STILL HAS IT. Sooooo, i'm just gonna leave my xbox on, haul it to my friends house and get the disc. Although, somehow the chance of that is looking more unlikely by the second...Either way, it's still a fantastic game =>

Dog Church Afternoon & Options?

What an interesting Easter. In the middle of my church service, a stray dog ran right in and was pouncing everywhere. Took me 3 minutes to chase it out, and keep it out. Jeez. And i didn't get a single mutha fuggin easter egg ¬_¬ Oh well. Half terrrmmmmm

Also, what are my options? I had a dream last night, one of many recently which've been makin me feel bad. And it makes me wonder what the heck i should do...i'm so indecisive. *sigh* Maybe i shouldn't say anything at all. There's no point
