Hello!
Sorry for the long amount of time between blog posts but I have literally had nothing exciting happen in the past couple months. Like seriously. So, news... umm, well I got Star Fox 64 3D last month (I believe it was last month) but I prefer to call it Lylat Wars 3D since Lylat Wars was what my version of Star Fox 64 was called.
Oh also, according to my last post about Steins; Gate I had finished watching the last episode of it. Well, it turns out I was wrong. It wasn't the last episode, it just turned out to be kinda climactic. Turns out that there was about 2 or 3 episodes more and that there were only 24 episodes in the anime. It's still brilliant and you should still watch it.
Right, now back to the present, Lylat Wars 3D. It's a fairly good game, the graphics are amazing and it makes the game really pretty in terms of effects. It gives a whole new sense of realism to the game while at the same time looking the same and feeling the same as the original. The controls are obviously different to the original 64 game but for veterans it is quite easy to pick up and play just like The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D was.
I also got Borderlands recently as well. I've played Borderlands on ps3 and on computer now and I must say that I much prefer the computer version. I've completed the main storyline and the Claptrap's Revolution DLC but I have yet to complete Tartarus Station, and the zombie island of Doctor Ned. But man Claptrap's Revolution was fun, even though it was just like the rest of the game. The reason why it was more fun was simply because you finally got to shoot those damn annoying claptraps. I'm level 41 I believe and so far it is quite an enjoyable game. I look forward to playing Borderlands 2 when it comes out.
Anyway enough about games. I've been doing ok recently, just been grinding every day. Just going from one day to the next doing pretty much the same thing... a bit boring yes. but the past couple of weeks have been pretty good. I made up with my Ex (I hope) so we're now friends again, I went to a Candle Festival and tried Sake, saw my old Japanese teacher on Thursday and I was going to see The Three Musketeers in the movies with a friend but my friend didn't turn up.
and then yesterday I went to a friend's place and checked out his Arcade machine that has over 1,000 retro games on it. so me and a friend played Metal Slug 2. I got the High Score on Asteroids and got to the last Alien in Space Invaders in the first wave. I then got my arse kicked at pool 3 times out of 3... I really suck at Pool.
The Candle Festival was pretty cool. For those who don't know it, it's the Nara Candle Festival in Canberra that takes place once a year and they light over 2,000 candles in celebration of the relationship between the city of Nara in Japan and Canberra. The Entertainment was good, The food was good... mmm... Okonomiyaki.... dammit now I want some and the Sake was good. It tasted a bit like Cough Medicine mixed with alcohol if you ask me.
And that is the past two months in a nutshell pretty much.
'Til next post!
