  Good And Bad Jelly.

  Zebra flavor is my favorite.

  Bad jelly: my Windows is tripping again! It just yesterday returned from repairs.. I have no idea why this is happening.

  Also, I was tagged by Mufujifi. More on that later.

  Good jelly: stuff!

  First of all, Estpolis (the Lufia DS remake) got an official site and a trailer! So much hype over that, the game's looking really good.

  Also, the next Layton game was revealed (whoa, that was quick)! It's titled Professor Layton and the Miracle Mask, but otherwise there's no info on the game. However, the title refers to the mask worn by the new villain Death Call in Devil's Flute, so it's clearly continuing from the previous one. Also, a second Layton movie is underway! I just wish we'd get the third one here soon.. x.x'

  Oh, almost forgot! Check out this new Character Trailer for Super Street Fighter IV -- it shows ALL the new characters in one clip! Well, maybe not all of 'em, but at least two new ones.
  

  Now, what have I been gaming? Well, I downloaded Gravity Crash's demo and fell in love. I'll definitely get the full game at some point. Also, even though I'm an FPS hater, I've been enjoying the Bad Company 2 closed beta. It's surprisingly fun, you know. Massive maps and lengthy matches. There are a few flaws, but hey, it's still just in beta state.

  A friend of mine lent me Valkyria Chronicles recently, but thanks to the exam week, I won't have time to play it in a while. Also, another friend lent me Siren: Blood Curse, which I'm really eager to try out as soon as I have the time.

  Okay, so.. With my exam week starting and my Windows going down AGAIN, I won't be around that much. I'll try to check up on you when I can. Now for the 10 things and then I'm out!

  1. I have Stiches! As in, level up. What a lame number one, eh?

  2. I'm saving up so that I may continue my studies in Japan in a couple of years! I've got the grades, but the money's a different thing.. x.x

  3. I used to be a PS3 hater! That was during the console's first year. However, I looked into it, and reached enlightenment. To me, it offers more than the 360. However, I'm as far from a fanboy as you can possibly imagine.

  4. In my life, I've had the priviledge to enjoy a psychotic disorder! Hoooowever, I like to think I'm all cured now. Well, so what if I'm still manic-depressive? The manic parts are fun.

  5. I like olives.

  6. I.. can't come up with anything else. 6 is all you can have. Hell, I don't think my life even includes 10 separate factors.

  That's all, kids! Now, I'll tag.. that newspaper over there. Tell me 10 things I don't know, newspaper!

  ..Thought so. Ha. Why? Because I know everything.

  Bye, and enjoy Thanksgiving.. Mega Man styIe!

  So It WAS Digimon! Scream Like You Were Being Chased By A Mutant Octopus!

  Remember my latest blog, where I mentioned a mysterious countdown? I stated: "..I'm guessing it's .hack or Digimon", and guess what!? Well, if you're not blind or unconscious after noticing the mutant octopus behind ya, you must know by now that it indeed was the last option! Errr, whee? It's titled Digimon Stories: Lost Evolution. Damn, the officialsite's font is hard to read. Explains the RPG_LOST in the URL, though.

  Other stuff happening this week: new FFXIII trailer coming this Wednesday! It's the last one before JP release, and thus probably the last Japanese one. Also this week, a new (presumably much-liked) character will be revealed for Super SFIV. Only one (half of a) screenshot has been released, and it shows Chun Li being kicked in the face by a mystery character. I'm not gonna get SSFIV (as you probably know), but I have my fingers crossed for a Third Strike character. I mained Q and Twelve in that one, you know. I'm pretty sure it'll be a more popular character, and if you ever wacthed Arcadia Cup's Tougeki Super Battle Opera 07, you know which character's horribly overused. ..Man, that left a scar.

  What else.. Oh! This Tuesday (that's tomorrow) there'll be a special thingy at PSN. Instead of the usual Thursday, Gravity Crash will be released on PSN US & EU tomorrow. Yay! I'm gonna get the game as soon as I have the money for it.. Ah, it looked so awesome, retro and psychedelic. Who else's getting it?

  Okay, moving on! What's been happening in my life? Well, first of all, my computer's coming back tomowwow! Wippee! My activity level shall become.. reasonably high. I'm so looking forward to that.

  How's the gaming part going along, then? Well, last Saturday a friend of mine was bored, and his PS3 was at his brother's place. Well, I brought my PS3 along with some games (in addition to the ones he had at his place) and got ready for a gaming spree. We started with some Tekken 6 matches. He's gotten into the semifinals of two Scandinavian tourneys (while I've only reached that high in one x.x') with hisLaw and Feng. Lucky for me, he was rusty after a year's break. Ooh, speaking of which-- I got my first Platinum a while back, and that was from Tekken! Congrats to me! Anyhow, after that I got to try some Uncharted 2 online (haven't even finished the first one myself), which was surprisingly addictive. I got to lv7 in no time, and got many bonuses, mostly for killing enemies with melee attacks (about 90% of 'em ).

  It was around 8 pm when we decided to give RE5 a whirl. You may know how big of a hater I was -- honestly, there was simply no horror anymore and way too much weight had been put on co-op. The single player mode was bound to suck. Well, I hadn't obviously played the co-op. We had been playing for a while, and I sleepily glanced at the clock. Whoops, it was 7 AM. I knew then that I had become an addict. Yup. So, we kept playing.

  It was around 12.30 pm when we beat the last boss and let out a sigh of relief. Seriously, we had beaten a relatively long game overnight and without sleeping, eating or drinking at that. x.x But man, was that awesome or what!? I might just get the game because of this, you know! Best weekend of the week for sure, even though my eyes were bleeding.

  

  Well kids, that's that. Now I've got a presentation on schizophrenia to finish, but I'll go through your blogs tomorrow on my good ol' trusty working computer. Bye!

  Travis, Help Me ON THE PS3!! My Toes Are Turning Into English 3D Dot Game Taffy!

  No More Heroes. Coming soon to a PS3/360 near you!! THE HYPE'S TOO MUCH!! I think I'm gonna have a cardiac arrest. Oh, and waiter, make sure it's got a lot of ketchup on it. Thanks.

  Feb 25th, No More Heroes will finally get its anticipated HD remake. Yes, it's a remake, so nothing actually new. HOWEVER, there will be awesome HD graphics and a new mode, "Super Sweet Mode", where all characters wear rather skimpy outfits. Oooooooo. Master Goichi, have I ever told you that SWEET BEJEBUS YOU ARE AWESOME. Sort of like Kojima, but really weird. Hooray for no more Wiimote!

  Also, 3D Dot Game Heroes (one of my most hyped games of the year) is getting an English release in May, 2010. YES!! How awesome is that? Now I don't have to import it and fight with the (few) kanji that you can find in the game. The hype.. won't.. stop!! Feeling.. retro..

  Speaking of retro, Lufia II (if you're a friend of really old JRPGs. you know it) is being remade on the DS! This time around it'll have 3D graphics and goes under the name of Estpolis. That's so awesome, can't wait! Now, if we'd just get SaGa 2 DS here..

  Last but not least, do you remember that weird "RPG_LOST" teaser site? Well, there's some more teasing to be found. The site has 3 phrases rolling about: "That RPG will return", "Solve a lost mystery", and "A new adventure". I wonder what Namco Bandai means by that? ..I'm guessing it's .hack or Digimon. Please be a HD.hack! The countdown will stop on the 21st, when the game's finally revealed. Hoping for a Famitsu leak before that..

  That's the news for now. And how do I fare? Well, I'm doing pretty good. Other than oversleeping a lot, school's going fine too. My folks are busy looking for Christmas presents (why so early!?) and I'm busy.. uh.. playing Tekken. I also hope Braid will be released on the European PSN soon. Thinking of importing GoW Collection, by the way.. Should I import that or Demon's Souls? Also, I'm actually getting my Bayonetta hype back..

  

  Oh, and I downloaded Toro Station Weekly off the JP Store. Now that Mainichi Issho's over (), a weekly news update servicewith Toro and Kuro has launched. It's free todownload and use, and you get to transport your stuff from Mainichi Issho overto Weekly. If you want TWO updates a week and their new "home" to build up more quickly, pay 800 yen a month and you've got it. The weird thing is, I'm actually considering it..

  I'm also playing Phantasy Star 0 on my DS like no tomorrow! That game's dangerously addicting, I tell ya. It's impossible to lower your DS while playing it! I'm pretty far in the story with my "main" character. I shall give impressions in the next blog, as this would be just too long. Anyways, if you've got a DS, get this game!

  My computer was sent to repairs yesterday, and it should be back in a couple of weeks. The whole thing just collapsed suddenly. Blegh.

  Aaaaanyways, this was just an update on stuff. I wanted to express my hype. I'll check your blogs after I finish this short essay, and then.. anyone up for a quick match of Tekken or some questing in Phantasy Star?
