Paper Tenko

Figured out how to get my PS3 controller to work on Chikage, so I finally decided to poke around with Paper Tenko.

Ended up blowing through the demo and cleared it a few hours ago. it was quite enjoyable, aside from some balance issues here and there... but the last update was in like July and the guy what made it hasn't posted anything new since and BAH.

I want mooooooore.

more packagery

Got another package in today.

Two Ginga Eiyuuden references. You truly are the king of nerds.


Aaaaaand it's Hayate no Gotoku volume 31. And ACE R, which I heard (from the guy who sent me this) that it's kind of the worst in the series. Wahoo.

Also it smells like cigarettes.

But is still thing and Hayate comes with the movie so yay interwebs friends.

More Christmas things.

Package came in Thursday from a friend of mine. Yay Christmas presents and all that.

Aaand now I have Disgaea 2. Finally.

Too bad the damned thing is addicting as hell, I should have beaten Destiny DC by now but I got totally sidetracked with building my little army. >_<

Current MVP is Pleinair, despite having reincarnated her at level 1 so as to not completely ruin the game balance.

package

Got a package this morning.

The utmost in nerdery.

Both the mailman and the person who answered the door this time were confused as hell. orz

Opened it up, and...

Yay for new games that I can't play yet.

Also, NEEEEEEEEEEEERD.


The other side of the cardboard. Hi AGE.


Opened the case to check the instructions out (upon second thought, I probably shouldn't do that because lol spoilers), and yeah.

俺はシスコンなんかじゃねェ！

Graces F (1)

So I'm getting a PS3 for Christmas, and I've been compiling a list of what games I want.

Surprisingly, it's not that long.

Anyways, I saw Tales of Graces F for relatively cheap on Ebay, so I snatched that up and it came in on Monday.


And now I have the same game twice. Wahoo.

Considering that the Wii version is like my second favorite game in the history of ever (Chrono Trigger is #1 now and forever), I'm not too annoyed. If anything, I have an excuse to play through it again so yay.

And having looked through my savedata from the Wii version, I'll be able to get all the options I want in the Grade Shop just by playing normally.

Now is the waiting game to when I'll actually be able to play the damned thing...

Gensou Shoujo Taisen Kou (2)

So for whatever reason, I started up Reimu's route in Gensou Shoujo Taisen Kou on Saturday.

Was just dicking around because why not, but then I got to the mission where Sanae shows up, beats the crap out of Reimu, and then leaves... and my soul of a gamer went all nutty figuring out a way to surround and defeat her before she retreated.

And then I remembered that Yuuka is another boss who does the exact same kind of thing... but to a far worse degree.

I'd given up on beating her my first time around because I assumed that it wasn't possible, but I looked up videos on Niconico anyways to see if anyone had actually managed to beat her and get the Taiyou no Hana that she carries (10% EN regeneration!), and lo and behold, it is in fact doable.

So cue me spending the next two days and two stages figuring out a way to get Reimu and Keine's stats high enough to actually stand a chance of beating her... she runs away at 7500HP, which is very much UGH WHY.

And then... I did.

First try was a bust as my max damage was like 7450 or something similarly bullshit, so I tried shuffling around some character skills and yeah. VICTORY with like 50-ish HP to spare.

...and now I am completely mentally exhausted, as this crap has been consuming my every thought since Sunday night and yeah. Zenigame brain hurt.

BUT HELL YES I ACTUALLY BEAT YUUKA.

Shirokoi (1)

Been playing Hakuisei Renai Shoukougun lately, hereforth shortened to "shirokoi" because I am too lazy to type out the entire title every time.

It's pretty nice so far, though the beginning was reeeeally technical. Random medical terms EVERYWHERE. Fortunately, they have a popup glossary thing for most of the uncommon terms, which really helps out. Haven't played a game that had one of those since Alicematic.

Mainchara Kaori was a bit annoying at first, since she had a tendency to freak out every time someone mentioned something like the importance of not mixing up drug names and whatnot, which is aagh because DID YOU NOT GRADUATE FROM NURSING SCHOOL HOW THE HELL DO YOU NOT KNOW THIS STUFF!?

I mean, shit. I know most of the stuff they talk about (I do have like five nurses in my immediate family, but still), but there should be a better way to bring it up in-game than making the protagonist seem completely incompetent.

But meh, her dumbness level has steadily gone down as I've progressed, and Sayuri's really been getting at her about it now that she's shown up.

My main issue thus far is that I started the game with no opinion as to who to go after, and then the kansaiben-speaking Yamanouchi won me over... but I found out upon some poking around that she doesn't actually get a route to herself. >_<

BAH. I hate it when shit like this happens, now I'm probably going to get a Bad End.

Gensou Shoujo Taisen Kou CLEAR

I cleared Marisa's route in Gensou Shoujo Taisen yesterday.

Friend of mine decided to download it because he is a dirty pirate and so that shamed me into clearing the last four stages, on account of me having owned this game since June and yeah.

All spellcards captured, all wifepoints GET.

Last stage was Flandre, which took me two fucking hours to complete.

Pictures...

Here's my team, sorted by level. Marisa is seven kills from making Ace. Next closest is Nitori somehow, and then Alice. (though this is not reflected in their levels)


Aaand here are Marisa's stats. Highest of any of my characters, and she's also the only character I have who learned Nekketsu. Combined with Master Spark, the strongest attack in base damage for any allied unit, I was able to finish off Flandre with like 12000 damage worth of overkill.


And now I get to wait until Spring for You to come out, as it got delayed again. Whee.

エロゲ

This be all the PC eroge that I currently own.

...well, Umineko and Polyphonica aren't exactly ero, but yeah.

Despite having had these for years now (the most recent thing I bought was Campanella back in January of 2010), I don't think I've even cleared half of these. :/

Counting...

cleared:
Furifuri
Vanish
Shukufuku no Campanella
Gouen no Soleil
Shuumatsu Shoujo Gensou Alicematic
Colorful Aquarium
Hidamari
North Wind
Kanojotachi no Ryuugi

stalled midway:
Tears to Tiara
Arpeggio (currently playing)
Umineko no Naku Koro ni
Engage x Links
ExE
Soul Link (gave up on this one)

have yet to even play:
Haru no Ashioto (not counting the demo)
Tiara
Tsunagaru Bangle
Tick! Tack!
Majipuri
Primitive Link
Tan.
Zettai Shiawase Sengen
Shinkyoku Soukai Polyphonica THE BLACK

So... that's nine out of twenty-four cleared, and the same number hasn't even been played.

Considering how much money I've spent on these things, I really should get around to finishing them.

...and this isn't counting the galge I have for the PS2, which include Nanatsuiro Drops, Parfait, ToHeart 2, and some other stuff.

late arrival

Oh look, I got a late birthday present today.



Haha, M. Zenigame. Makes it almost sound French.



Aaaaand it's MOTHERFUCKING BLAZBLUE. Nice.

Kind of sad that a random interwebs buddy did more for my birthday than anyone in my family did... but eh.

Shukufuku no Campanella clear.

Finished Shukufuku no Campanella... back in June. Wow, I've really been slacking on updating this blog.

It was pretty fun, and I wish I'd have finished it earlier. My only real complaint is that Nina's story was a total copout. Just... ugh. He forgot everything that happened because he was drunk, and she didn't bother telling him because she didn't want things to change between them... AAGH.

In the end, my personal route ranking...

Agnes > Minette = Chelsea > Tortillas > Carina >>>>> Nina.

Shame too, I liked everyone in the cast.

And I'm going to have to get the fandisc at some point, as it gives the Tortillas a proper path and I really want to play through that.

Also, Agnes with her hair down is LOVELY.

Omega no Shikai demo CLEAR

After listening to Ythm for the thousandth time, I finally decided to check out Omega no Shikai itself.

Unfortunately for me, its demo was a HUGE bitch to find, as Nekobanana's official site has no links to the damned thing. I ended up getting it off of 2ch, since someone was kind enough to post the direct link there.

I ended up finishing it the other day, and... I MUST HAVE THE FULL VERSION.

The story was interesting, and I am left wondering what the hell's going on with the incoherent ranting that interspersed the main chapters with Makoto and friends.

As for the characters themselves, Miya is awesome. And she seems to be the female lead so yay. The rest of the cast is also yay.

Though the demo ends just before I assume the crazy shit starts going down, and the exact point where it stops had me AGHAHGAGAHGAGHAAHGAHAGHAGHAGHing for a good while... now I'm going to have to go out of my way to find a copy off Yahoo Auctions or the like since game piracy goes against my Justice.

Bleh.

...but with that done for now, I guess I can go back to the things that I've been putting off... and maybe now I can get back to Campanella. Had I been playing that instead of messing around with this demo, I'd have cleared the game by now...

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.

Infinite money = max stats

...after almost 40 hours of playing Black Sigil, I said "screw it" and broke the game. I used a certain oversight to buy enough stat-boosting potions to completely max out my party, so things should be even more of a breeze than they had been.

Shown here is Aurora's status screen snce she's my favorite, but I have Kairu and Isa also maxed out as well.

Kind of odd that while the other stats have the usual hex limit of 255, the int stat is capped at 383.

But no matter, I have two more dungeons to blaze through and then I'll be done.

のぞみがない

After getting Aya and seeing how adorable she is, I decided to go and grab Nozomi, who was on sale for 40% off.

...but two days later, Hobbysearch sent me a mail saying that she was out of stock. >_<

So I went and ordered Mana instead, who was also on sale but for not as good as a deal. I'd meant to get her after Nozomi came in, but my hand was forced so AAGH.

...I suppose I should also get around to playing the game past the five minutes before the opening movie...
