In the year 200X...

[slimequest]

The 3rd of this month marks six years that krile and I have known each other.

Of course we decided to celebrate a little, and get each other gifts!

What did we give each other, you ask? I thought everyone knew that the 6th anniversary was the Megaman Anniversary!

Yes, we bought copies of Megaman Star Force for each other. I got Dragon version (because, you know, RAAR DRAGINS) and she got Pegasus (pretty wings!!1)

Nobody likes the Leo version, because... I mean, just think about it. Doesn't it automatically sound like the lamest version?

But anyway, yes, we decided on a whim to do this for who knows what reason. We kept talking about how there's ANOTHER Megaman series coming out? Forget THAT. And yet... here we are. We're such whores for Megaman games. Perhaps once we get a chance to play it more I'll post some wackyness about it.

It might sound like the most anti-romantic thing ever, but hey... we play the game together and help each other out! I'm reminded of how lucky I am because I was talking to some guy at school and he was complaining about how his girlfriend made fun of him for playing video games and has no interest in them, and yet mine encourages it and plays along with me! I guess it's easy to forget that there are girls like that when you happen to hang around a lot of gamer girls.

Speaking of which, school started for me finally on the 4th. I'm sooo rusty in my Japanese verbs T_T Most of what I learned and studied over the summer was vocab, so... but at least my Spanish is in top form 8-) Having no A/C in the modern languages building (oh ALL my classes happen to be there? Yay!) doesn't help matters, either. I'll start babbling in languages I don't even know if my brain melts~

I'd post my friend code but I don't think anyone on my flist touches it with a ten foot pole. XD;

Duh, there obviously needs to be more gamer girls like me around~

GO, NEW ICON!

Yeah I'm pretty sure we'll have to go down this road alone XD It's okay, you and I make the best BROTHABAND eva~! It's cool that being online together at the same time actually helps you out in this game. It'd be a hassle and lame to try and do that with someone over WiFi and just play the game normally, ignoring each other xD

When a girl can go from doing some completely girly activity to picking up some awesome game to play without skipping a beat, that's the best thing ever XD

Ooh, congrats on the anniversary, guys!

I don't know alot of girls who play video games, they all think it's for boys or kids. You're lucky you found a girl who likes to play games, not alot of guys get that lucky.XD;

Believe me, I know how lucky I am to have her, and it's not JUST because she plays games! (though that helps a lot xD)

It's unfortunate that some girl gamers don't get to hang out with other like-minded girls, growing up all my male friends played games and it helped me make new friends and have common interests with other guys. Even now, usually if I get to know some guy at work or school, it's likely that he at least plays some kind of games occasionally.

It's a good thing that you feel lucky you met her for other reasons, too~ If anything if you only felt lucky because she played video games then that wouldn't be much of a reason to be a couple.XD;

Yup, that's true. One of the downsides of being a girl gamer these days, I have friends who have similar interests as me at home but mostly they are all animanga fans mainly. I have a friend who doesn't like to play RPG based games just because she doesn't like blood (but she reads Bleach, anyway.). Though, I have a friend who I've been playing P3 with atleast.

Yeah, we met because of a mutual interest in video games but we connect on a lot of levels so it's not JUST that. We're best friends AND boyfriend/girlfriend so there's a lot of reasons for us to stick with each other ;D

Is there really that much blood in RPG games..? I mean, compared to other genres. None of the 8-bit/16-bit RPGs had any really, and even PS1 and PS2 RPGs haven't had excessive blood or violence in them at all mostly (Well, P3's an exception to that). I could understand her not wanting to play fighting games or GTA or something due to that, but RPGs? I guess they could be considered violent compared to Nintendogs or Tetris or something? XD

My friend seems to think so. She has alot of issues that really just make a person wonder sometimes. She has trouble with RPG games sometimes, too. Like I told her she should buy Rune Factory since she's become such a big HM fan recently, but she said no because there was monster fighting it. Personally, I think she's just lazy.

[slimequest.livejournal.com]

Haha, wow, that is a little... odd. Rune Factory is especially tame because you just "send them back to their world", not kill them (though it ends up almost being the same thing).

I guess some people just don't react well to any sort of violence, but like you said, maybe she's just too lazy to level up or something xD;
