[livejournal.com profile] orechibisama drew me a really cute Yagyuu. *points to icon* Thank you so much! :D HE'S ADORABLE. Have a fishbone on a platter, everyone~

TCG
Today, the first TCG I ever joined, [livejournal.com profile] anime_lj_tcg, sadly closed. It's the TCG that got me into TCGs. I joined in 2007. I've never quit a TCG (and always stick with them...until they end up closing). I guess I'm a...dedicated person, or maybe just someone who doesn't know when to quit.

This TCG had quite a long run and ended up with over...I don't know how many decks. Countless. There were already over 1000 decks back in 2008. I don't know what the end number was. Although updates were sporadic, each update had like, over 100 decks added each time. I had lots of fun there! I'll miss it. ;___;

Dissidia
I've been playing this game on my bonus days. XD; I only maxed out one character...the Onion Knight, haha. I like his combos. I can't beat the last extra chapter though. >__> My skills suck. I finally tried out the online battle with my brother. It was quite fun (and kind of reminded me of Pokemon battles). I finally got to use some of the enemy characters that I haven't had the chance to use in the storyline chapters. I'm currently using Kuja because I like how he glides. It was funny...my brother used Terra, who kept saying, "Get away!" and then my Kuja just so coincidentally said "You can't get away!" ROFL! I feel like I'm pretty much done with the game. There are too many extras for me. XD; I'm not much of a grinder either.

Ace Attorney Investigations
I've been playing the Japanese version forever and only got up to Case 4 before the English version came out. Well, now I passed where I was in the Japanese version. I'm loving the game a lot. There are so many quotable parts! I will be super busy with stuff around Fanime time this year, but there's a character in here who I can cosplay by scavenging for her clothing, so that's what I'll be doing! :D It'll be a fun and comfortable cosplay. <3 I already bought her pink hat.
La Corda d'Oro
There's going to be a musical. |D With...Takahashi Yuuta as Tsuchiura and Shindo Gaku as Kanazawa-sensei to name a few familiar faces for me. I wonder what it'll be like...there's been plenty of concerts for the series and seiyuu events but never a musical. I don't think it's a very large scale one.

Also, the newest game for Corda will feature Hihara at age 25 as a graduate of the school. Hihara in the future. *___* (And finally, older than me.) This news makes me very happy.

Dissidia
Woot, finished 9 out of 10 paths in Destiny Odyssey. I played Cloud -> Cecil -> Terra -> Zidane -> Tidus -> Firion -> Squall -> Onion Knight -> Bartz. Now I'm with the Warrior of Light, who is pretty average. I didn't like using Cecil, but I'm very curious about the light versus dark part of his story. Makes me want to play FFIV. I hated using Zidane...I'm no good with him and his air attacks. =/ Tidus was all right. Firion's weapons were much love. It's cool to see him with so many weapons. Squall was fairly easy to use. Such an antisocial guy. Finally got to hear his "Gone talking to a wall" line. XDDD It's in his character description too! I liked using Onion Knight and finally found that I could purchase extra accessory slots when I was playing as him. I totally thought they were shared between characters, so I purchased a bunch...and then found it was per character. Ahahaha. So now my Onion Knight has a bunch of slots! He's also my highest level character so far (I think this is only because I kept going "What's this ? space? I must find out!! It was mostly enemies instead of treasure). Bartz is such a funny guy. I cracked up when he said something like, "Sweet Cosmos! It's a talking rock!" when he found a summonstone. It was pretty cool when he wielded Cloud and Squall's swords. :3

The characters sure have changed with each new game. The series started out with knights in armor, gallant characters, light against dark, etc. There was gradually less and less armor and more emo and antisocial feelings going around, haha.

Tenipuri
I bought PairPuri 2 and 3 today, and finally the Tenipuri 2010 calendar! I didn't see it in stock at my bookstore all through December. I had to buy the displayed one today since it was the last one. Still, it's in pretty good condition. ♥ So cute~. I thought I might have had to order it online.
Laser Beam!!!!! I mean "Undine"
Yagyuu's mini album. ♥ (Preview here thanks to [livejournal.com profile] naily_n.) My favorite track is still the Laser Beam track. XDD Because hearing "la~ser beam la~ser beam" in the background is too funny. With Yagyuu's album and the Fuji/Taka duet (and this week's rajipuri), I have more stuff to listen to when I make decks for [livejournal.com profile] twistserve_tcg. I think I need to make some Chinapuri decks, haha. List is getting long.

Dissidia
I bought Dissidia recently and have only played through 2 paths so far (Cloud and Cecil's paths because they were "1 star difficulty" and I thought I'd have a hard time). Their lines make me laugh sometimes. I'm still trying to think of why. XDD Cecil felt so slow after I was using Cloud all that time. I'm playing Terra's path now. I love Terra's theme music. ♥ Her path has a lot more stars for the difficulty, but I'm having a much easier time. I don't know if it's because I'm more used to the fighting now (probably) or because she's long range so I don't get hit as much. Probably it's because of both! Having all these characters together and interacting like they're friends feels a bit strange, especially since they keep wondering such profound questions during their paths, but there isn't much background for those questions. The bad guys so far have been more like guides. They're so helpful, haha. Except, uh, Kefka. I hate clowns. The game has felt a bit pointless so far, but I love the music (it's so nostalgic) and the battle system is pretty cool. I'm terrible with fighting games though, so I don't know how far I'll get with it.

Fics
...must work on [livejournal.com profile] drive_a today, yes. Will be writing Inui, if I can figure him out. I prodded Memories of the Future a bit yesterday, but Namiki is making things difficult. It's Christmas in the fic...I was hoping to finish that part before Christmas!!
