Three Ribbons
In case you didn’t see below, I managed to complete my little Poketoberfest project successfully. I’m still rooting for RJ, who I believe is still participating, but for now I’m just glad I finished. But, throughout all of the chaos that I put myself through, I realized one thing: too much of a good thing doesn’t change the fact that it’s still “too much”.
( So I herd u liek blithering on about Pokemon. » )
Oh, and with regards to School Rumble. This is the most freaking hilarious show I’ve seen in months. This is what I’d kinda hoped Strawberry Marshmallow or Lucky Star would be… randomness with a plot. A plot, damn you! Not just “randomness with no real/interesting plot”, not just “hey look at the moe and don’t think too hard”, but “hey cool we’ve got a setup and now we can has teh cute”. I’m actually wondering what leads up to that Bailout clip I showed you all the other day… ah well. Just a few more discs to go.
Also, you might notice the lambda symbol up there in the Gamercard. Yeah, I decided to rent Portal. Only problem was that it comes with two other really crappy games on the disc. Couldn’t find any other way to get it for a reasonable price, so there you go. I’m really digging it, and if it weren’t for the godawful delivery system (seriously, it’s good, but it’s not “$20 and you have to use Steam” good) I’d recommend it to everyone. As it stands, I’d suggest everyone put it on their “must rent” lists.
EDIT: Relax, I’m not liveblogging anything. Just wanted to say that if you happen to be a fan of Parasite Eve, first, why do you exist?!; and second, there is actually a third installment in that now-not-really-failed series coming (you guessed it) to Japanese mobile phones. You can set up your Folding Chairs of Misery over there next to the ones for Mega Man Legends fans; we have punch and cake. (But the cake is… no, no. I won’t make that gag. Yet.)
Catch you all tomorrow.
