  Chris Redfield *insert heart*

  I haven't posted anything in a long, long time--I thought this might be worth posting. A large box arrived for me today from Amazon.com. It's huge, ridiculously big. Unfortunately, my mom is the one who was home when they delivered it, so she thought it might be for Mother's Day. I've already got her Mother's Day stuff taken care of. The package was just a little something I ordered a while back.
  
  A Chris Redfield Wall Scroll!!!
  
  
  
  Some of you out there may know, I like Chris Redfield. I like Chris Redfield A LOT. Some people have said it's in an unnatural way, seeing as I've never really liked too many video game characters before. Dante from DMC3, a bit.... Nero from DMC4, a little more. I think this is the beginning of a Chris Redfield shrine. This will add to the Chris figure that came with the Special Edition of the game. Soon, I want to get that larger Chris figure, even though it doesn't completely look like him.
  
  The detail on this poster is amazing, it even has all the little details on his arms. It seems durable enough. Right now, I just have it hanging by rubber bands for taking pictures. I've got a more permanent spot on my wall in my room. I've never been a huge fan of Madcatz accessories, they never really seem to work for me. This wall scroll is made by them and I'm really impressed.
  
  Sorry for the completely random blog, but thanks for reading! ^^
  Perhaps I'll post more later on, take care,

  B... If you come across this in your wanderings of the net, just know you are still better than Chris--in every way. As for a shrine for you, I'll just leave that to your imagination as I always do.

  Recent Happenings...

  --I'm definitely still alive. I've been trying to send out PMs to many people, but I haven't been able to send a private message for several months. I don't know if it's just my crap-o-licious browser, Gamespot, or the fact that they don't interact well together. I also haven't been able to get one, so you might want to try to chat with me through other means. I'm sorry all, I've missed you and we have a lot to catch up on.

  --I'll say this and only this about the recent firing of Jeff from GameSpot. Don't come to the Eidos Union and flame about it. Eidos isn't the one that fired him. I was never a huge Jeff fan as it is, but it seems that he did have a rather fanatical fanbase. That's no reason to quit coming here, cancel subscriptions, or abuse review functions--that just sends the wrong message. I think all the facts need to come out, as it seems this review was a rather convenient object to blame this on. It might serve as a nice cover for other reasons, or the final straw to a brewing conflict. I don't care what this says about the review business being corrupt, I don't pay attention to scores.

  Now with all of that said, there is one editor I will be fanatical about, so hopefully Brad doesn't ever leave.

  --As hinted above, I have purchased a new system. More on that later(hopefully).

  --I'm still in the rentail business for right now, but I'm considering changing that after the first of the year.

  --My band is still trying to put a show together, but we've been set back by one of our members having an accident.

  --I'm also still persuing schools because of a gut feeling on the last one. Something about it just didn't seem right and the gut feeling turned out to be right.

  Try to write me here if you like, or send me a message through other means. I hope all is well with everyone.

  Take care.

  I almost got a new system... but...

  Many of you know that I've been in complete mental turmoil over the past few months. What system should I get? Should I worry about the fact that the 360 uses DVD as a storage medium? Should I worry about the fact I'll probably have to be running it on a standard def. TV for a while? Where will my beloved Shin Megami Tensei end up?

  ...And the worries continue on. I was at the mall tonight. I was looking at the 360 Elite model console. I've been impressed with a some of the titles I've seen on it. I had a chance to play Bioshock at a friends house, it was fantastic. I also wouldn't go wrong with finally being able to really play Oblivion (though I would probably wait for the game of the year edition to come out). I went around the store and found an S-Video cable that would have been perfect for my TV. I was calculating in my mind the total costs of this splurge.

  I was about ready to approach the counter. Then I had the strangest feeling that it wasn't the right thing to do. It was like a pit of hell had opened in my stomach--I was falling into myself and down. "What incredible despair!" I exclaimed, but only to myself. What the heck could give me such a feeling? I started to think...

  Who would have eating contests with Mamoru Hiyase?
  Who will sew with Bebe, the exchange student?
  Who will play online with Maya and her terrible typing?
  Who else would put up with the Gourmet King and his ways?
  Who would listen to Kenji and his obsession with older women?
  Will anyone talk to Akinari on Sundays, which is often difficult to remember?

  All of these people and situations are from Persona 3... Yes, Persona 3 stopped me from buying a new system tonight. The game is so incredible that I'd feel bad getting a new system before I have a chance to finish it. I don't want anything to detract my attention from it. My obsession with P3 continues. Seeing as I'm only in August 2009 in the game, and I've got a ways to go, share your input in my dilemma.

  Take care, all!
