video games! and other stuff

I started playing Pokemon Black 2! \o\ I've only gotten my first badge so far (Cheren stopped wearing his glasses, omg), and my pokemon are all very weak. My starter is Oshawott. Was very tempted to pick Snivy again, but I already used Snivy in Black. I find all the connections with Black & White to be pretty cool. :D

Fire Emblem Awakening is coming out next month. I can't wait. I already have it pre-ordered, and I played through the demo a few times. |D;;

The graphics are pretty, I love the new pair up system, and goodness, the supports! Hahahaha, it looks like there will be confession scenes. I was going to create a male avatar for myself since I usually like to play as a guy in games, but I might create a girl instead so I can pair her off with Chrom or one of the other guys. It'll be like playing a strategy/dating-sim. XD;; The new classes are interesting, though I wonder how good they'll be. Battle clerics?! Clerics that can use axes?! I can't imagine a character having both high attack and high magic! Oh, but it's kind of like that for the strategist class too, hm. Trickster class?! What, they can use swords and staves?! Falcon Knights can't use swords, but they can use staves? Wow, this game is really mixing physical attack and magic. A healer on a pegasus...omg... That'd be very useful. But the Dark Pegasus skill sounds cooler. Lightning Speed (allows another turn after defeating an enemy) sounds really cool. 8D

I've already read and watched a lot of spoilers, haha. |D;; Whoops. But Lucina. <3333 She looks pretty awesome. I'm contemplating maybe cosplaying her in May. But then, that might be a walking spoiler, haha. Though I guess I could do the pre-reveal version. |D; (Then I'll have to consider if I have the skills to make her outfit... Soren's was okay since armor and capes weren't involved. I still don't know how to make something resembling armor.).

Speaking of Soren, I hope Soren will be available for North America. *___* Please be available!


I'm currently playing Fire Emblem Shin Monshou no Nazo (FE12). This is my third attempt, haha... I got up to chapter 8 in my 2nd attempt but then gave up. I restarted again last weekend, this time with my character named "Ryuu". He wears an eyepatch. :3;; I picked some different characters this time around, and I managed to level Rody! /o/ (Last time he got really sucky levels, so I had to drop him). So far, my team consists of Marth, Shiida/Caeda, Catria, Palla, My Unit (Ryuu), Nabarl, Rody, Feena, Yumina, Merric, and Linde. I usually like to use a lot of mages, but the mages in this game all have low Mag so far, and not so great speed either. ): I tried training Gordin, but... His speed is turning out too poor. -__-; Too bad a few characters I had on my FE11 team didn't make it in. (Like Ogma, Cain, Minerva... and my healer of choice is a captive in this game, so... OTL) I regret not training Julian this time. He's so necessary for all the chests I'm raiding. Though Marth can also open chests, pffft. That never ceases to amuse me. Hoping I'll finish this before FE13 is released!

Writing-wise, I decided to edit Bittersweet Sweetness. I started rereading from Part 1. |D;; I'm mostly just editing for grammar (and not for content, unless something feels off). I'm probably not going to reupload anything through. I'm thinking of maybe creating a pdf of the story once I finish it if anyone wants a copy. I don't know, haha. But yeah. Don't really feel like going through all three places where I've posted the fic and making replacements. Thinking of doing the same for Memories of the Future too, especially since I don't have copies of all the separate chapters for that fic in one place.

I was going to write a post about anime I'm currently following, but I never did write the post. -__-; Well, here's a short summary.

Yu Wo news to end this post. XD; Kill No More is being adapted into a manhua (heck yeah! dragons! 8D ) that can be ordered online starting 2/1 and Yu Wo will be publishing a new book soon which is scheduled for March. I would translate the title tentatively as "Contract of the Human Doll" or Doll Contract, I guess. It seems to be a horror story that involves ball-jointed dolls coming to life, from what I've read of the story that she's posted online. |D;; Yu Wo likes collecting ball-jointed dolls herself, so I guess that was her inspiration. One of the characters in this (possibly the protagonist) has a left eye that can see the paranormal. :3

Lucathia,

We haven't talked in a long time ahhhhhh!!! I am glad to hear that things remain exciting for you - good luck, good luck with writing!!! <3

Whooooo FE Awakening! I'm ordering the bundle (even though the game comes pre-installed =.=) because it's Cobalt Blue AND has dragons on it. And I don't own a 3DS so that works out. Going to place my order with GameStop today.

... Suddenly I am tempted to be a girl character too, but I just can't. I must always be a guy in games!! XDDD But Chrom and Frederick.... *_* I haven't done much studying at all of the game, but those new classes sound like all times of crazy. Should be interesting to see the game changers, that's for sure. A Dark Pegasus unit might actually mean I would use a pegasus in my game /contemplates

I would download Soren in an instant. Seriously.

This is ironic, but I was going to put up a post later about FE12 since I got to play six more chapters last weekend (haven't played since before Japan). So I'm on Ch. 18 now :) Ahhh Ryuu... what class is he and what mode are you on? Ryuu is the name of my Sentinel in PoT/FE! \o/ Your team is so well-balanced... and omg, yes, Gordin's speed is terrible. Yet I kept him because he was a higher level than my other units and I was going to make him work ahahahah.

My team is Marth, David (my unit/dracoknight), Frey (dracoknight), Luke, Rody, Cain, Abel, Gordin, Merric, Barst, Nabarl, Astram (if there is room since I just got him)... Julian was on the team until Abel showed up (I was >< at Abel's late join in the game... he's like the Geoffrey of this game joining in at Lv. 1 and all of my paladins and dracoknights were at Lv. 9 and my other units were at Lv. 4). I did change two of my units to dracoknights so that I didn't have six paladins lol. And Sedgar and the gang just showed up so /o\ I think I want him on the team but there's no roooooooom. TT Looking to beat the game before FE13 comes out too! <3

Yu Wo news :D So much excitement coming!

Wooo~ YAMAKEN. lol He managed to snag the spotlight in each of his scenes. As far as Kokoro Connect, I felt disappointed with the way Heartseed was handled, too. It would have been nice to see him defeated somehow; it felt anti-climatic. =\ I really enjoyed the relationships between characters, though. Inaba. <3

You're still watching Uchuu Kyoudai! I haven't watched since episode 5. OTL Good to hear it's inspiring - maybe I'll pick it back up one day...
