slimequest: (Tactical Tie)
Okay so Amazon.com had Advance Wars: Days of Ruin as their deal of the day last week, for some absurdly low amount of money, so I went ahead and got it. It was sort of low on my radar of games I'd like to try but I really couldn't pass this up, especially considering it was cheaper than a greatest hits title.

And hey SPOILERS it's fun. I've only played the first GBA Advance Wars game for like 5 minutes prior to this, but I actually like the fact that it's a strategy game but NOT a strategy RPG. I have about a million of those to play if I so desired, so this is a nice change.

The gameplay is the highlight, obviously, although WACKY TACTICAL TIPS SHOW which includes bosses walking in and giving you advice for some reason, and the female characters trying on makeup and threatening to dye the male lead's hair until he runs away. So yeah, good times!

ANYWAY, despite the fact that this should get in the way of me playing other various games I need to beat, it hasn't!

Wild Arms 3: BAM BAM BAM the dungeons fall left and right! I am pretty close to the end now, I think.

I've also been playing FES whenever I can, although it being on HARD MODE makes me die every so often and this is not good. But, Elizabeth dating sequences are the best things ever so I persevere!

Despite all this gaming, I have my Japanese oral final on Tuesday and the written final the next week, joy! And something about Spanish, it's easy peasy stuff really. But seriously, I want to strangle whoever invented the subjunctive tense. PORQUEEEEEE~~~

And now, I think I'll finish up this battle in Advance Wars and get some studying done, if the kind customers at my job will permit it.

slimequest: (If only I was a real Jet)
I've been sick since Wednesday night, urgghh. I mean that actual night was a fever and all, but the symptoms have been sticking with me every day since then. It kind of sucks! Not to mention that I had to work this weekend, because I could sure use the time to rest or something. Oh well! Today I'm feeling better than usual so hopefully that is a good sign.

My use of the Jet icon is also appropriate because I've been a good boy and stuck to playing Wild Arms 3 for the past few days! Progress! One of these days I'm thinking of writing a "faq" about how to get back into games that are in your backlog and complete them, because I'm becoming an expert xD;

I got my house to its biggest size in Animal Crossing: Wild World, which kind of makes me want to scale back all the work I've been doing in the game xD; I kind of want to take a "break", though I'll still check my town every day. But no more marathon, 1 hour + long fruit picking sessions for a while. I've picked up Magical Starsign again anyway, which I hope to finish this time!

Finally, from Somethingawful's One-Sentence Reviews:

Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII
Manages to be better than Final Fantasy VII, earning a spot in the prestigious and exclusive "Every Halfway Decent And Comprehensible Video Game Released In The Last Ten Years" club. 8/10

I'm not a member of the rabid "ff7 sux" club or anything, but I was amused.
