Blarg. Been a while.

So, let's see... what's new. Portal's new, let's start with that. At least, I think it is. Anyway.

Yes, Portal. A puzzle game made by Valve. You take control of one of seemingly many test subjects and have to make your way through various, well, puzzles, using... well... portals. You have to use inertia and momentum by falling, running, jumping and thinking your way through them. It's good fun, especially when you get to goin' real fast. The ending song is fun, too.

That's all I have to say about Portal... let's seee... Prinny!

Prinny: Can I Really Be The Hero? is NIS America's first action game of the Disgaea series, known to be a strategy game. And it's very well pulled off. It digs back to the roots of gaming, when things were a challenge to play. There is the one-hit kill mode and the 4-hit kill mode. Either setting can get very difficult. Hell's Finest mode presents you with 'one hit you're dead' play mode, and you'll really need the thousand lives you're given to get through it!

New Comics

So I have rediscovered an entire set of comics I enjoy. They're wonderful! One of them casts the entirety of Cartoon Network in a much more serious light, involving death and blood, though don't be mistaken and think that it's gory. Not at all. It's not grossly bloody, but there -is- blood, and drama, and sad happenings. That would be the Powerpuff Girls doujinshi. Quite good.

And then there's Ever After. That puts a new spin on tales like Little Red Ridding Hood and Goldie Locks. The Brothers Grimm, right? Anyway, I won't give anything away, just read it for yourself! Though, the artist is currently out of commission for an undetermined amount of time due to illness... So it hasn't updated recently.

Those are the only two I really remember looking at, so yeah. These can be found at www.snafu-comics.com

PSP get!

Whoo! I got a PSP and Prinny! Can I Really Be The Hero? It's awesome. The game is fun and really rather difficult. I imagine, to get the full experience, I need to play on hard, but that's far too hard. I need to play on normal before I do any of that crazy crap. I mean, jeez. Fighting twin spellswords with one hit and die mode is just insane. But, yes, good fun.

The game is an old school platformer, which is awesome. It adds a bit, though, with attack buttons and what not. You can hip drop your enemies to stun them, which is a key mechanic in boss fights. Fighting the bosses is really neat when you pull it off right. Dodging their attacks before countering, moving around them, destroying their health when they're dizzy. It's good fun. It can be frustraiting, though, so if you have anger management issues, don't get it.

I... didn't play games today. Wow.

I guess that's what I get for procrastinating so much. Homework piled up, and my Calculus grade is suffering big time. I caught up on a good 3 weeks worth of homework just now, and that's just calc. And I did my Environment Science work, and after Calc, I gotta do that worksheet for Government. But, yeah, busy day for me. x.x
