Games and Me! :]
I am slowly waiting for my 100th post so I can finally change the layout. Three more posts to go and I’m there! Hahaha!
Anyway recently after finishing Suikoden Tactics (aka Rhapsodia) I suddenly have a yearning to play more games. There’s two games I’ve been wanting to buy. Disgaea: Hour of Darkness and Phantom Brave. Both of these games supposedly belong to a series called Marl Kingdom. I havent heard of a series by that name but I have played one of the games in this series and that is Rhapsody: A Musical Adventure. Its very cute and girlish although its a strategy RPG. This is the first and only game I played without going into a single game over! Yeah its that easy. Rhapsody was set in the eraly times of Marl Kingdom, as in, when there was still charming princes for our little hero to rescue. Anyway, Phantom Brave and Disgae are nowhere near as cute and sugary as Rhapsody although the description said they come from the same background. So as long as its in the same series, I wanna try it!!
Yeah I have a thing for games in a series. Like Suikoden (if its not obvious already) and Final Fantasy. Although I stopped following the game at FFX. I didnt even finish FFX. And the succeeding games are all online!! Pfff! I dont like online games. Prefer them on console (ps2 to be precise).
Games to look forward to in 2006: 1) Valkyrie Profile Silmeria 2) Suikoden V (obviously)
That’s all I can think about for now. Oh I just bought two games from Hopoh. Can you believe it?!?! They didn’t have Phantom Brave and Disgaea!! And obviously they lack a whole lot of games. I guess they thought its good since the games are selling. Don’t they know that it doesnt matter how many games you are selling, its about how many titles you have! Of course any sane person would go to palces with the biggest selection! Only the latest games are mostly available. So I bought two that I’ve been wanting anyway and gave them the ‘you’re-not-the-only-gaming-store-around’ look. The sale assistants were dull and boring!! GOD! If they don’t like their jobs, then for God’s sake, quit! I couldn’t stand looking at them just like how they look at me all suspiciously. You know, the stereotype sales person who assumed you’re just here to look around and not buying anything even when you are really intending to buy something. But I’m sure msot of us are turned off by that look. I’m with you.
The games I bought are Magna Carta: I really thought the hero was a girl, and Tales of Legendia: The two previous games I played but didnt get to complete (dont ask. its too painful for words). I contemplated buying Tekken 5 but then I’d probably be buying them just for collection. I didn’t exactly finish Tekken 4 (completed only one arcade battle and thats it), Tekken Tag and various other fighting games I have. I was once very fixated on Tekken 3 (and the record stands, no one has beaten me yet when I’m using Xiaoyu mwahahaha). It was actually the game that brought me to get my own PS. And Suikoden 3 got me to get Kujong (my ps2) hehehehehe.
So anyway I finally get my butt to the gym. And I thought I hated the treadmill, but I went on one and managed to run on it for almost twenty minutes!!! W00t~! a record for me! The staff are actually quite friendly once you get to know them. Very helpful, yes. I am so far enjoying my time. And I spent almost 2 hours at the gym at a time. Well, they have MTV there hehehe. When you insert 20 minutes into the treadmill’s computer, its equivalent to about 5 video clips right? Like today, I ‘treadmilled’ away to about 5-6 video clips of Westlife. I’m not a big fan but I guess they were being especially featured so heck - the songs are not bad.
Now my body is aching again. Shouldnt have taken too long of a break from exercising I guess.
So I guess that’s all for now. Ta’ra!
