But A0 isn't large enough to show all of my cape!

[pez]

Everybody's getting sick. Guess the rapidly-changing weather plus flu season is doing its thing. Today I'm tarudoruing it. That's the theory anyway.

Cosplay Island is down, which is sad. Would go to Expo forums to look at pictures instead, except people post HUGE pics there and there are also big images embedded in the webpage background, which is the sort of thing I hate to open at work. I don't like forums, really. They're so hard to... understand. >_> Then there are those massive sigs that take up half a page when someone just posts a one-line reply. What?

How long has it been since SE last updated this page? There is nothing on Xbox360 or PS3. O_O On the NA website, however, there is Star Ocean The Last Hope: International listed for release on PS3 next year, which is not what they said in the beginning of this year. Tweaked menu and auto-targetting, it says. The rest of it doesn't look much different though, looking at what they say on various sites. Ah, whatever, really. It's not like I'd get it anyway, even if they have new content.

Last weekend I went with my brother-in-law to GAME and HMV, looking for something to play on the Box. I do RPGs, he does... well, anything really, any game that doesn't require lots of reading and understanding plot. So first person shooters, fighter pilots, boxing, etc. And he does play Dynasty Warriors but just ignores all the instructions. XD Anyway. we went to the shops. There was nothing we could find that seemed play-worthy. Nothing at all. How sad is that? I need to expand my gaming genre. But... nothing's drawing me to Silent Hill 5 after having played the first two (or three?), and Assassin's Creed looks shiny but somehow... and I'm sure Left 4 Dead is fun but it just isn't my thing.

The coworker who's going to Expo as dressed as Captain Falcon^# told me "You should come join me in Azeroth!" and my reply was "I’m sure it’s great fun... but I don’t have enough time to do all the things I want to do already, how can I afford the time to not have a life?"

# It'll be his first cosplay. And he's never seen my cosplay pictures. We're threatening each other with the sending of photos to the A0 plotter to decorate the office walls with.

Yay more material arrived. I can now finish Soldier Blue (if the wig arrives in time). I'll wear him Saturday, and Dave Sunday, I think.

Brütal Legend is out for Xbox360 on Friday! 8D/

[yuki-scorpio.livejournal.com]

*reads*

The player controls the protagonist Edward Riggs (voiced by Jack Black), a roadie who one day finds himself stuck in a fantasy heavy metal world.

............I think I've gotta give this a try. XD

[solaas.livejournal.com]

That game makes me want to buy a PS3 again. XD I'm sure this is a huge surprise. XD;;;;

[yuki-scorpio.livejournal.com]

Fail. :P

[solaas.livejournal.com]

I'm going to descend on my PS3-owning and -playing friend to watch this one! 8D

[storme]

I saw demos of this at PAX and it looks pretty damned awesome, I have to say.

[solaas.livejournal.com]

It so does! :D If I wasn't utterly fail at console gaming, I would buy a PS3 to play this one! But there's a reason I sold the PS3 i had... orz

[storme]

I'm sort of a Tim Schafer fangirl, to be honest--I loved Psychonauts and all the Lucasarts stuff he did, so I sort of expect anything he releases to be awesome.

And I'm not a very good gamer, really. I'm just a very determined one. :P

[giving-ground.livejournal.com]

Pez. WHAT DID YOU FEED THE CAT THIS MORNING. It keeps bouncing. At high speed. And as it bounces it squeaks.

[yuki-scorpio.livejournal.com]

.......you know, I don't remember if I did feed the 'mobile this morning or not. If I didn't, that could be the reason why it's bouncing.

[giving-ground.livejournal.com]

but if it hasn't been fed one has to wonder where it gets the energy from... that's some seriously high-speed bouncing.

[yuki-scorpio.livejournal.com]

The feeding has nothing to do with energy requirement, it's to do with gluttony.

[yuki-scorpio.livejournal.com]

*imagines Unni descending from the sky like a wuxia master*

[solaas.livejournal.com]

Hee! One of my gaming fails is utter lack of patience and perseverance. Add that to lack of talent and skill, and one understands that the ps3 is far better off working for a friend's kids. XD;

[solaas.livejournal.com]

With a great billowy cloak!

[acidraiin.livejournal.com]

Assassin's Creed is win :O
Even if I'm such a sucker for J-rpgs >.> I have to say that I loved this game. (lul with a little Montreal pride mixed in, since it is made here.)
But I do have to say that its quite frustrating when your directionally challenged in AC. Good thing I had a friend who had an excellence sense of direction.


Btw, you will be hearing the beep beep sounds weeks after an overdose of that game.

[celen.livejournal.com]

I really have to recommend Assassin's Creed too, it's cool and amusing. Not spectacular, not The Best Game Ever, but it's worth it and some of the features are really cool (for example, I never got tired of jumping down from the top of high buildings :D). And it's a really good way to pass time.

[t0k0.livejournal.com]

I'm pretty much an RPG person only [I'm horrible at shooters, sport games, simulators etc], with an exception for a few games. One of those games is Assasins Creed.

I loved it! Totally recommend that you at least rent it and try it for a night :) It's actually really short (9 hours at most maybe?)but on the plus side it's very pretty ^_^ ... y'know when you're not killing people....

[yuki-scorpio.livejournal.com]

.....I have no sense of direction. Seriously. >_>

[giving-ground.livejournal.com]

well. she has bounced and squeaked herself out at last. clearly the kitty drugs have worn off.

btw, I'm going to drag myself into town to get my hair cut tonight since it was a bitch to get an appointment outside work hours in the first place. ;;;;; if you're hungry when you get back there's a piece of cooked salmon and rice from last night.

[storme]

I think that means the SO and I will try to come to Expo on Sunday, then. It won't be nearly as entertaining for him to meet you if you're not dressed as Dave, otherwise. :)

[yuki-scorpio.livejournal.com]

XD Alright! It all depends on the wig, though. If I don't get the Soldier Blue wig, I'll be Dave both days. Either way you'll find out on the LJ. If I get the wig I'll be like YAY WIG, and if I don't I'll be cursing a lot.

[yuki-scorpio.livejournal.com]

Hmmm, that's three votes for the game. I think I might need to check it out!

[yuki-scorpio.livejournal.com]

Might be able to borrow it from a coworker! I'll give it a go. :)

[storme]

Duly noted! We could get lunch or dinner on whichever day too, if you have time?

[yuki-scorpio.livejournal.com]

That is an awesome idea. :D

[yuki-scorpio.livejournal.com]

Don't trust it. It might start again. >>

Okay!

[storme]

Yay!

[yuki-scorpio.livejournal.com]

(Should I feel sorry for your SO who might have to put up with insane fangirling?)

[storme]

:D

You don't think there's a *chance* he might be used to that from me by now?

(Besides, if he's that alarmed, he can run away and leave us to talks of Dave. :P)

[storme]

(Huh, got the email notification but it didn't show up where expected. Weird. LJ keeps doing that.)

[yuki-scorpio.livejournal.com]

(Last night it was doing weird things as well.)

But you know when it comes to fangirling, when there are two people it's not (power of fangirling)x2, but more (power of fangirling)². XD

[t0k0.livejournal.com]

I have the PS3 version which has a rare [but sometimes it happens] freezing glitch.

I don't know if it's a problem with the 360 version.

either way I really hope you like it ^^

[storme]

It's true. He has seen me fangirling over Neil Gaiman in the past with friends, though, so he has a vague idea of how terrifying the conversations can get.

(Poor boy. I'd really better warn him that he can leave if the conversation scares him too much. Since I suspect he won't be ready for quite how long you and I can sustain a fangirly discussion of TLR for. :P)

[storme]

(See? Amazing vanishing comment, again, but I bet you got the notification. Wonder if posting this will make it appear.)

..no, apparently not. WTF, lj.

[yuki-scorpio.livejournal.com]

Yup, disappearing comment. I bet the reply to this one will show up as another new thread. (edit: went and opened a support request with LJ. Looks like we're not the only ones having this problem.)

XDDD Oh yeah. It's a good thing the waiter at Pizza Hut wasn't aware what we were talking about! We must've been there for three hours.

[storme]

And yes, it did (but I got the notification as if it was a reply to my comment). Man. This is weird--but, yeah, good idea to open a support request.

The one set of english-speaking guys who sat next to us gave me very confused looks just before they left. *giggles* I sort of wonder what the waiter thought of us, really, but I am very glad he didn't turf us out into the rain.

[storme]

Hey, lookit that. They're all threaded together again!

[yuki-scorpio.livejournal.com]

LJ, STOP FREAKING ME OUT.

Ah, they don't understand The Dave Effect. What a shame.

[yuki-scorpio.livejournal.com]

I'm debating whether to get it for 360 or PC. PC has better graphics but 360 I can take to my sister's to play when I'm there and have nothing better to do...

[storme]

:D LJ likes to confuse everyone. It keeps us entertained.

Too few people understand the Dave Effect. They would if they saw him, though.

[t0k0.livejournal.com]

Get it for the 360! I am PRO-ignoring siblings XD

[crystalusagi.livejournal.com]

=D Soldier Blue and Dave~ Win.

Yeah, I don't like the forum sigs either. They annoy me. I imagine cosplay forums must be even more populated with them >__>
