December 2015

Ok, so I’m kidding about the latter haha There aren’t any Bugs Bunny cartoons in this post!!!! Buuut it could count for carollers….of which this area seems to have absolutely none of.

Works for me!!

WELL!!!! In current news, Xmas has come and gone, and it was as it usually is: just another day. As was my birthday, the day after it. Did I mention my friend Yuusei got P4D for me as a present? Thanx again, Yuu!!

I’ve been playin it like crazy!! Streamed it twice.

Combo hype!!King Crazy hype!!!!!

Naoto in a butler suit and 103 combo-MISS hype!! lol Naoto was never a favorite character, but I can tolerate her more in P4D. In the first release of P4A I hadn’t, and had no interest, in playing the original P4, so I thought she was Minato (the main guy from P3). Upon choosing her first, I was shocked to find “Minato” using guns all of a sudden. Cooome to find out, it wasn’t really him, and actually a female character, I swiftly lost interest. haha

It wasn’t until I actually played through p4, and p4G that I learned more about her…and STILL didn’t like her haha But in P4d, she rocks the butler suit(but Yu wears it better).

Anyway!!! I haven’t been playing as much Xillia 2, sadly….because I’ve been playing…

UNDERTALE!!!! (Thanx Lo!! And YES, I named the character “Aerith” lol)

After many many MANY game overs, I finally beat it Xmas night!!!Pacifist run; first playthrough. This particular boss gave me some real problems hahaha Very freaky fight. Took me about 5 tries to finally outlast and win.

(Mettaton!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ❤ )

The game has great programming and makes good use of callbacks to bring up items you have stated by characters/for them to mention actions you’ve done, things like that. (Hmm? What’s that? Didn’t I mention I had some Ren’Py programming experience before? hahaha)

IN MORE NEWS!, more Yomi has been played. We got the game not too long ago, the physical copy, so I’ve been playing that tabletop more than the virtual game. I also picked up Hearthstone recently, like today lol

It’s extremely easy to pick up, so far. I’m sure there will be some tricks popping up later, but yeah. So far, the gameplay isn’t bad. The characters talk too much, though.

— On the art front, I made some Rinharu arts.

One was for the Feel Our Hearts campaign where notes, art and photos are scrapbooked and taken to Kyoani’s studio in person!

The other was a secret santa picture.

I put a lot into the secret santa one. I wanted to improve for myself. I accomplished new things I was satisfied about, but afterward, it bothers me that most fellow Americans just don’t like, or don’t get my art. But the Chinese and Japanese seem to. I really need to improve though, no matter what! I’m not at that “perfect for me” level of artness yet.

Whew! That’s mostly what’s been going on… Still playing UNIEL more than BB or GG. I’M TOURNAMENT READY! for uni, that is…mentally haha BRING IT!!

I’m continuing to do original stuff for that original series I mentioned “The White Snake Chronicles”^___________^ Lots of writing; lots of drawing; lots and lots of animating!!!!!!!!!!!!

In closing, please enjoy some P4d screencaps that you may have already seen!!

I REALLY DIG MALES IN MEGANE, OKAY?! lol And Yosuke is a favorite~~~ (But Yu wears the megane better)*COUGH*

SEE YA!!

And looking for pixelated cats. Lots of them.(doesn’t she kind of look like Dark Magician Girl with that hat on?!! haha)

zzzzz I’m so sleepy zzzzzz

Thoroughly exhausted, but blasting “Taste the Blood”(Dante version) in my ears is keeping me a bit awake. I’ve got some matches later tonight; I’ve gotta stay up!!!

Okay! It’s been a while, since I lasted updated. Ludger and his pajamas have had my attention for a week and a half now, at least.

I usually pair Ludger with Jude for, y know reasons lol, but I’m really liking Muzet!!!!

Ahem, like I said: reasons. Hahaha

Anyways!! In other game news—!!

I had SO much fun in WWE2k14. I spent so many hours playing it. It’s a shame the online service for it isn’t active anymore… The gameplay is super stiff, (Rumble Roses controlled much better) but there’s so much within this game; the customizations are addictive and fun!

I tried to make a Haruka Nanase lol [“The water genius”]

…A Rin Matsouka… [“The sexy whiny aquarius “]

…and a Dixie Clements lol [“The queen cougar”]( the ahem, ring name, is a nod to a joke from the original PS2 Rumble Roses when she goes against Aigle in story mode; no offense to the other women out there!)

I also made them part of a team EVEN THOUGH I CAN’T PIT THEM AGAINST ANYONE DUE TO MIXED-GENDER-WRASSLIN’ LIMITATIONS IN THE GAME! Hmph!

[Haru, Rin and Dixie: “The Badgirls” of Team Pffffft” lol]

I wish I coulda played against my friend, of whom I refer to as “Yuusei”. He got me the game as a present. I guess all the focus is on 2k16.

I was challenged to a few matches in GG at night, and played UNIEL against my husband during the day. He taught me some things about fighting games that made my brain hurt, but I did learn!! Most people I fight online, though, don’t think much when they fight. They just press buttons…and I usually get hit! haha…

As you can see, I fought Jeyu a lot, online haha Both Ragna_Lionheart, and colonelr19 wanted to play GG, too. I wasn’t feeling at my best, though, but a challenge is a challenge! (I even played a little Valkenhayn. He is my 2nd main in BB, after all. I couldn’t get a good feel for him, at first, but I had felt very similar with Celica when I learned her. I’m far more comfortable playing as her, now. I’m getting closer to that feeling with Valkenhayn.

Admittedly, I’ve been playing/learning more of UNIEL than BB, these days. GG is right behind UNI, but BB has some great presentation….and it has Ragna haha

Oh yeah!!! In order to even better aid my beginning-fighting-gamer-brain, it was suggested that I play this card game, Yomi.

And then….the world suddenly grew unexpectedly quiet from this announcement hahaha jk

I consider myself more of a video gamer, than a card gamer, but if I like the game enough, or I feel “ok, game, i can accept playing you”, then I’ll play. Been playing video games since I was 7 years old, after all. The first competitive card game I ever got into, was Yu-Gi-Oh.

All kinds of other card/board games came after that…MTG, Pokemon, Android Netrunner, Mage Wars, Game of Thrones (both card and board games), Cardfight Vanguard (i always forget how to play tho) and now it’s Yomi.

I’d gone through a TON of fighting games growing up, but I can say that now, this year, I’ve finally taken them more seriously instead of just “picking up the controller”, so to speak.

What’s that? Didn’t I tell you that I was a nerd? hahaha But, it is a bit saddening to me when the peeps at the hobby shops overlook me because they don’t see me as such.

Oh, how they’ll never know the hours of games I play a day, the amount of video game music I listen to (my playlists are 99% VGM and I state that proudly! haha the remaining 1% are things like what I’m listening to now: the theme that plays for when Goku goes SSJ3 lol), nor will they know of the game related, and comic related stuff, that I work on day in and day out!! My modelling training never went anywhere, but that’s very off-topic!!!

I’m too exhausted to think straight! Maybe I hear Ludger calling me….or maybe it’s Julius…
