C or K?
Despite ALL the extra time and lounging around I've been amazed with myself that I HAVEN'T been obsessing over... well... SOMETHING. I guess its because I've been up to my knees figuring out HOW THE HELL I'M GOING TO FINISH 28 BOOKS/PLAY IN LESS THAN 3 WEEKS????
But besides my impending procrastination, moving back and going to college means cleaning up, figuring out dorms, and what to bring. And for geeks like me... that means ELECTRONICS UPDATE.
I've already decided for my laptop to be HP Envy (Beats Edition), so its 14 inches. Please no trolling my choice... i'm not changing my mind. At least it wasn't a Mac :P
ANYWAY another reason why I decided on a PC is because that a ton of back-to-school PC deals means A FREE XBOX 360 WITH EVERY LAPTOP. Of course for a gamer who has NEVER owned a large gaming console in her life (except for a pink N64 which i accidentally circuit fried when i brought it to China and thus wasn't able to play it when i moved here...), my deprived-ness urged me o take advantage of this offer. The only problem? Out of all the gaming consoles out there, I am LEAST familiar with the xBox. And due to my love of Square Enix and the Persona series, my heart lies in the PS2 generic area. So for a moment I thought "what the HELL is an anime rpg-er like me going to get out of an xBox" (COD/Halo people... please spare me a moment before you jump to your "wonderful" recommendations).
But then as I was looking for NON-first-person shooter/racing/Mafia/sports games, i stumbled upon a little beauty called Catherine, a game being released by Atlus. And after watching the trailer ONCE... well lets just say that my prayers have been answered.
A puzzle/horror thriller game with Atlus' trademark "highly developed story line", Catherine is about a dude name Vincent (ha ha ironic isn't it) who's fears the long-term commitment of marriage to his girlfriend Katherine (with a K, not a typo). After spending a drunk night with the young temptress Catherine (with a C), Vincent juggles the 2 girls while he experiences anxiety induced demonic nightmares while require him to climb walls to escape from death.
Animation, graphics and storyline are perfect and has the simulation experience of the Persona series (only this time the choices are apparently MUCH less obvious, so discovering routes will be so much fun).
So guys get to fantasize about 2 smoking hot girls fight over him... but what about the ladies who wanna play?
My answer: These guys
And yes when Travis (playing Johnny) is talking about his fiance, he means Laura Bailey :D. Troy Baker is seriously the cutest thing ("and i'm... sitting on a couch..."). Other people voicing the game are Michelle Ruff as Katherine with a K (who knew she'd have such a mature voice), the ever diverse Yuri Lowenthal as both young'un Tobias and the omnipresent "Voice" that guide Vincent through the game. Oh and LIAM FRIGGIN' O'BRIAN is in it as Orlando. I have yet to hear the character say anything but I'm sure I'm going to have a squeal fest when i hear him for the first time. Also featured are Erin Fitzgerald as Erica/Trisha, and Kirk Thorton as "Boss". lolz
I preordered the deluxe edition which means along with the physical I get Vincent's boxers delivered to me in a pizza box 8D! not kidding, but I also get a shirt worn in the game with empty hearts (a la Zelda) on it. Its a wonder Atlus isn't getting sued yet. I also get something of an artbook and the soundtrack, which is always awesome becase the soundtracks for these games are always amazing. This is the first-time i've ever done the pre-order thing with an atlus game so i'm super excited about all the free stuff i'm getting with it.
My xbox is being shipped to my house as we speak as well as like 15 plays I've ordered. My Catherine isn't coming in till like the 4th so I'm hoping to raid a local gamestop for other xbox games to bide my time with friends before I have a Catherine fest. Maybe FFXIII (even though FFXIII-2 is coming out soon) or Assasins Creed. Or even HALO. we'll see how much i can handle in the next couple of days :)
Moving back to the states in 2 days! This is crazy. see you all on the other side!
