Sadness Awareness Day 2008 Entry

I started writing this up on the 13th, when I can actually say Happy Birthday Chaz. Though, now it’s Happy Belated Birthday Chaz!

Almost finished with my Dresden Files book-a-thon. Started with the 4th book at the beginning of the week, and working on the 8th.

9th is the latest book and I’ll probably finish by Friday.
So about six ~400 page books in five days. Not too shabby, eh?

Between True Remembrance, possibly getting Wipeout Pulse soon, getting Audiosurf and converting people to Patapon, I think today will be alright.

;_; I lied.

True Remembrance: I haven’t played this yet, but basically this is the Japanese equivalent of Narcissu to us English-speakers. It’s just one of those titles that if you’re even minutely interested in the visual novel medium, you have to experience.

Wipeout Pulse: I haven’t played any sort of racing game since Mario Kart DS. Now, I have no problem with Mario Kart DS. That is, except that when I bought the bundle with the phat red DS, I didn’t think that would be the only game I would purchase for quite some time. I didn’t buy a single game for the DS for about a year. I played Mario Kart nearly nonstop in that time. I was entirely burnt out and sick of the game. But Pulse…there’s just something there. The polish, the speed, and it’s one of the best PSP games to pick up right now! Just need some more friends with PSPs so I can show of some custom ships. Hatsune Miku, Haruhi, Shana…Need to purchase the dang thing though.

Audiosurf: What can I say? Music games are in. I played the beta with some Daft Punk, Haruhi, you name it. It’s a really enjoyable experience that anyone can pick up and play fairly easily. I’d argue that with its current price point, putting it only on Steam won’t get the creator as much money as say…releasing it on all the major consoles. But having the Orange Box included is such a nice plus.

Patapon: The other great game this month coming out for the PSP. Rhythm and strategy? It’s addicting. Getting my friend who mainly buys Nintendo interested in purchasing a PSP for this game really assured me that this game is going to be a hit. Price point doesn’t hurt it either at around $20.

Being lonely: Bawww. ;_; /me hugs Hinagiku body pillow
