仮面ライダーアギト PROJECT G4


I just got done watching Kamen Rider Agito: Project G4, after putting it off for... ten years. Yay me.

It was actually really good, too. I was expecting it to be merely meh like a lot of Rider movies get, but it turned out as more or less a really long higher-budget episode of the TV show, so all was good.


High points:

Gills getting his arm torn clean off and then growing that shit back like motherfucking PICCOLO before going Exceed and murdering the hell out of an Unknown.

Main theme (24/7 version) queueing up as Shining Agito finishes off the Queen Ant Unknown.

MANLY BATTLE OF MANLINESS between G3-X and G4, culminating in Ozawa telling him that G3-X has no way to win against the technically superior G4, so he should instead fight as HIKAWA MAKOTO.

Then we get Kaname Jun in-suit, battle damaged, fighting in the climax of the film. That shit was SO AWESOME.

I don't care what anyone says, Hikawa is the real main character of that show.


...oh, and FUJIOKA MOTHERFUCKING HIROSHI, as the head of the police department, telling Shouichi to fight in his stead. My soul nearly exploded from how awesome that was.


So yeah, good movie. Now I can finally get around to finishing the show.

DS tsumige


Here be my aforementioned DS tsumige pile. I made a point back in January to finally finish it, and now I have so wahoo.

First was Devil Survivor, which I've had since around August of 2009. (that year sucked for various reasons.) I walked the path of Shura and cleared it in January.

Then was Dragon Quest V, which a friend got me for Christmas two years ago. Japanese version because why the hell not. And the shit I found out later about its localization really bugged the hell out of me, so that really was for the best.

Really good game, it kept me from doing much else while I was playing it. Though Jesus Christ that game was depressing as hell. Its main character had like the shittiest life ever.

Then I finished off Black Sigil, ehich I've had since launch. It was pretty enjoyable despite its faults. I kind of wish there was more of an epilogue, but it did do well with showing what hapened to the characters after the final boss was killed so eh.

Then was Mugen no Frontier, which started out as a goofy fanservice game in the beginning and then changed into HOLY SHIT HAKEN IS SUCH A MAN in the end bits. I'm going to have to get the ssequel eventually.

And finally was Mugen Kouro, which I've already gone over.


It's nice to finally clear a stack of games like that, but now I have nothing to play... I could get back to my PS2 games, but meh.

ポケモン図鑑完成!


やっとできました!

On Sunday, I finally managed to complete my zukan entries in Diamond.

This is the first pokemon game in which I've actually done this, and I've been playing the series since the very beginning.

...that's actually kind of sad.

HOW LAZY AM I!?

Mugen Kouro CLEAR



I cleared Mugen Kouro (Infinite Space) on Sunday, finally clearing up my DS tsumige pile.

Pictured are my final two battleships, which turned the final area into a total joke.

It was really good and certain scenes were simply fucking awesome (Nials was a fucking bastard, but holy shit he went out like a MAN), but in the end it just kind of fell apart.

It doesn't lower my overall view of the game itself, but meh. They really could have done better with the final bit.
