I've been really bored lately, because I'm supossed to go to Pittsburgh with my friend, but we keep putting it off for one reason or another, so I just keep wasting all my free time ignoring guitar practice and instead playing Disgaea, which is officially the most addicting RPG I've ever played at this point. lol. I've been playing this game constantly every day, and I'm still only level 700. I'm still playing the post game's story mode, and I just got to the point where I got Asagi unlocked. She's way better than I expected her to be, and she has officially replaced Pram and Zetta as my favorite playable cameo character in the game. Also on the subject of Zetta, if you ever wanna feel like a failure in a game, just watch your entire party of your strongest members all get destroyed at once by a book with laser eyes using Zetta Beam. Zetta is an overlord that got stuck as a book as part of his game's story, so when you unlock hin in the DLC, he's still in book form. When you fight him, it's in a tiny room so you have to bunch together to get a good special combo against him. When I fought him, he used Zetaa Beam, and the animation made me die a little inside. He shoots out these lasers form his eyes, and the camer shows a shot of him from behind while a mushroom cloud explosion shows where you'r team gets hit by the attack. Then just to make it worse, he turns to the camera and laughs at you. What a dick. lol. After seeing that destroy all my strongest people in one hit. I just sat there in shock and eventually laughed at how stupid I felt after seeing that happen. lol. He is pretty awesome once you have him unlocked though.
I saw an almost complete translation of the trophy list we are supossed to get by the ned of July for the game. Some of them are just time consuming. Some are just insane. Do 10 Billion damage in one hit still makes me think I'll never get the platinum. I just saw one a few minutes ago that says "Play for at least 10 hours straight.", and it's only a bronze. You seriously have to be the ultimate NEET to be able to sit down, and actually want to play that game for 10 hours straight. I mean that's just insanity. There's no way I can do 10 hours in one sitting with any game unless I take a break for an hour somehwere in there. Sometimes if I'm starting a new character and am trying to get the up to the level of my main team, I'll play for about an hour or 2, but it only takes 20 minutes to get 400 leveles if you do it right, but the level grinding is just so boring that it feel like forever compared to how short of a time actually passes. So yeah, I doubt I'll ver get that platinum. lol.
I started reading more manga again lately too. I read the series K-ON!, because it's gonna end up being the next huge thing. It's ok, but it's pretty obvious where it steals a ton of it's character ideas, plot, and over all set up of a lot of things. I watched the anime and it's ok. It's a funny series an all, but there's just a few things here and there I didn't like. It really pissed me off that Yui gets a f*ckin brand new Les Paul for only $500 USD in the begining though. I mean seriously, I love my Gibson Explorer to death, but if I could have afforded a Les Paul, there's no way I would have passed that up, and then I have to see this girl get one for like less than half of what my explorer cost. Plus it pissed me off more cause her mom just gives her what is around $500 USD in Yen before Yui and her friends even go to look at prices, just cause she told her she wants to buy a guitar. I wish I could have had someone just buy a guitar for me. Seriously though, the Les Paul she got has a price tag of $2,500 when you do a currency conversion, and she gets it for $500?! I know of all the unrealistic things in anime to complain about, a girl getting a discount shouldn't be one of them, but f*ck! In all fairness, her freind's dad owns the shop and her friend is extremely rich, but it's just the idea of it. You know a million people are gonna see that series and be like "I can learn to be a master guitarist in 1 year just like Yui", and then they are gonna amazed at how it doesn't work anything like that, especially the whole not every one is gonna walk away with a f*ckin Les Paul! Yeah, I'll probly complain about that for years. lol.You need to earn one of them. I mean you can't just start out with some amazing guitar. If I started wit hmy Explorer, there's no way I would have appreciated it half as much as I do. They at least sound like they know what they are talking about since Mio tries to explain that she needs to pick out a guitar that will fit her body type and things like that.
Anyway, the series is pretty decent if you can look past how much it rips off Lucky Star's character set up. I guess it's just standard now to have the four kids who are all one of each of the basic things. The tsundera kid, the stupid one, the one no one even remebers the name of cause she's so boring and unimportant, and the other one. Then they had the extras come in half way through the series like Lucky Star. lol. Theives these days and their unrealistic guitar prices. But yeah, the series is about this high school girl that joins a very small music club at school and she leanrs to play guitar for them, and it's mainly a comedy slice of life kinda thing. I liked the anime version a little better just because you could actually hear them getting better as time went on. Aslo for anyone wondering, K-ON just translates to 'light music'. In japanese terms though, light music refers to like pop-rock kind gnere music. So like if you hear music by Aya Hirano, that's an example of K-ON genre music.
Other than that I just bought a ton more manga and light novels. I just got around to getting volume 3 of the Haruhi manga, since I forgot it was for sale already. lol. I also got volume 1 of Lucky star, again, I forgot when it was released, and I got more of Black Cat, D. Gray-man, and I got a few .hack// novels I couldn't find since they are so old at this point. lol. I'm still waiting for the next volume of Bastard!! to come out, and it's killin me that I have to wait so long. They pushed back the release date, and it figures they'd do it with the first volume where Dark Schnider finally gets back to fight God. lol. I serious can't wait to see how this all ends. I know theres like 6 volumes left, but it's so crazy already and I wanna see how they continue to out do the last story line. Also, the whole Porno Diano charcter still makes me laugh.
I've been tryin to finally get around to finishing the .hack// games, but I can't play them for a long. I get sick form light and stuff since my blood was missing some chemicals when I was born, so there's a bunch of side effects to it. I have a hard time finishing the games htough, because most of the story dungeons are in infected areas of the system, so when you go to infected areas, there's computer garble everywhere, and there's an effect where the display flashes this broght static screen and makes white noise every 4 seconds. It even does it in the cut scenes in the area. So if I play an infected dungeon it'll do that effect the enitre time I'm there. I'm on the 3rd disk of 4 right now, so the dungeons take forever. It's to the point where if I play one for liek an hour, my eyes are messed up for like a day and a half after. lol. I guess it's because it's such a constant effect or somethin. I just wish I could actually play the game more often though so I could finish it. It's so stupid to have like the lamest medical problem in the world. lmao. Oh well, I'll get the games finished at some point.
The good thing is that there are 2 series that run paralel to that one. There's .hack// Another Birth, which is a light novel series that tells the story form the other main charcter's point of view, and there's .hack// Liminality, which is an OVA anime set that follows this girl that wasn't affected by the thing that puts everyone else into comas when they play the game. I just finished the second book in Another Birth, and I really like that one since you actually get to see what the chacter does outside of the game, and you get to see alot of her life and she explains alot of things that didn't really make sense in the games. Liminality is just weird though. They come with each of the games, and they each kinda run at the same time as what's going on in the game the OVA came with. I try to finish that disk of the game before I watch the OVA, but even then it's just weird to try to figure out. It really seemed like there was no point to it at first since all that was in the first part was just the girl's bf trying to rape her or somethin, and then later on they both play The World (the MMO in the series) and the boy was the only one that went into a comma when they both saw the same event. After that there's some detective that goes into a short comma and the rest made no sense from there. I was really confused about why the detective got out of the comma so fast, but I guess I just missed something explaining it. Then the second OVA had like nothing to do with anything since they were trying to find some girl to interigate and the whole thing was about her running away in some random disaster in a giant bulding, but at the end of the second book of Another Brith, Akira finds out her dad is in the building from Liminality, so I guess all 3 paralel series are suposed to conect without the characters directly interacting or somethin. I dunno. I just hope it makes sense when I get to the end of all of them. lol.
I also recently got Vocaloid 2, and it seriously confuses the hell outta me. lol. I can't get anything to work without Miku sounding like a garbage disposal. I try to get her to say simple stuff like "Youtube is where the poop is", and it just comes out like "SHGSTYDSFHAGFHAFDG!!!!!". lmao. Everyone says if you get the program with the vocaloid that speaks English it will turn the studio into English for you, but I just don't want to waste the space on my comp. lol. Anywa, since the blog was probly a huge wate of time for anyone who read it, I'll put some special bonuses.
There really isn't enough Ran fan service out there. lol. Also I thoguht only guys were supossed to get nose bleeds like that. lol.
I can't remember if I ever used this one or not. If I did, sorry. I just really wonder where Mokou keeps getting those helmets. lol. I really really hoped the whole "pull tail, recieve head" thing would catch on, but at this point I don't think it did. I kinda want to learn to play that song now too. lol.
There's a 4 day Twilight Zone marathon on right now, so I'm gonna go back to watchin that, eventhough it's just those 90's episodes for right now. I guess they just wanna get the crap outta the way before the good stuff. lol
