Too Much StarCraft 2

Photobucket

I've been playing way too much StarCraft 2 beta lately, so I haven't been keeping up with posts. I think I've already logged over 250 games in a couple weeks; I've been playing exclusively as Protoss. Now I'm waaay behind on my anime.

StarCraft is pretty fun. I'm starting to understand the whole mindgame aspect of RTS and why's it's insanely popular in Korea.

Ninja Chop!!

This is an xbox360 livemarket downloadable indy game. So basically in this game, you try to break 5 bottles by trying to make the back and forth bar stop at the red marker. You do the same thing over and over again, exactly as you see in the video. You get new costumes every 5 levels and it takes forever to get to the next level at higher levels, unless you chain combo red marker after red marker.

The fun comes from making fun of the game I guess, unless you're into ninja girls getting covered in milk.

Mayoi Neko Overrun! Episode 1 - A Tale of Two Chise's


Impressions: When a series starts, the way a character is introduced into the series is very important. It completely dictates the way the audience will view that character for the rest of the series. As an example, let's take Mugi from K-On season 1, since K-On is also airing this season also. In K-On, Mugi more or less stays kind of a side character and doesn't get as much screen time as all the other characters. Mugi first showed up as a character in the first episode of season 1 originally looking to join the choir club. You found out she didn't really know about fast food, and likes eating delicious pastries and sweets. Her behaviors in this episode conveys to you as a reader that you expect her to continue acting this way with possible character development happening as she learns more about the world. If it wasn't already blatantly obvious, you found out she's a super rich ojou sama character that doesn't really like showing off her massive wealth. That's all and good, because you pretty much know how Mugi is going to act from the first episode alone.

Little Busters! - Baka To Baka To Bakakanjyu


Introduction: I'm playing through this visual novel at the moment (non-h version because that's the one that has an english patch, so I don't have to go look up every single kanji.) Almost every character in this VN is an idiot, minus the main character. Someone suggested that I play more VN's/eroge. I told him that I couldn't read Japanese that well, which is why I don't really bother playing them. The same day, someone showed me a little busters remix video on youtube, then told me that someone was also telling her that she play the game. I was curious because I didn't know she could read Japanese, and looked up if there was an english translation online. I found out that there was. I knew that I was watching Angel Beats! this season, and that I enjoyed Key's anime versions of Kanon, Air, and Clannad. I also played through the English translation of Planetarian, and I've , for some reason, been playing a lot of Eternal Fighter Zero lately. Little Busters is the game that I really haven't paid attention to, because I never really had access to it. The only thing I knew about the game was that my Guild in the mmo Mabinogi was named Ritobasu, which I actually found out not too long ago was named after Little Busters, even though I'd been in that guild for a really long time. The tagline for joining the guild was 'We are a baseball team," which I thought was some weird quirky thing that our guild leader made up. Well, since there's a (partial) english translation for it and I have a lot of free time, I decided I'll give it a go.
