Vidya games & stuff
Fact: Tales of the Abyss on Unknown is a bitch. Well, only certain bosses. Like Arietta. I HATE that little - eh, no amount of curse words can describe my hate for her, so I won't even go there. But she's so adorable at the same time, so I have a love-hate (with emphasis on the hate) relationship with her. Oh, and Van (1) was really hard too. And that's with 10x experience >.> At the beginning, my little sister and I toned the difficulty down to very hard because we got to the Lifer Queen, did 1 damage, and decided that was dumb. But then about halfway through we realized we were way too high a level and had to go to Unknown. I must confess we turned the difficulty to hard to get through the Colisseum to get better weapons for Tear and Natalia to beat Arietta in the Cheagle Woods, though. But I think that's just because we fail. Anyway, we just defeated Mohs, so we're nearly done.
But seriously. I like the game a lot better the second time through. I forgot how great the voice cast was. I still don't really like anyone except Guy, but the plot makes more sense. Well, as much sense as a JRPG can make, anyway. And playing again is reminding me how much I love the battle system. Playing as Natalia is bomb. Playing as Guy is fun too because he's a freakin' speed demon, but I never do because I'm too busy sitting halfway across the screen shooting arrows at people. And healing the stupid AI. And my sister and I find ourselves playing Tear a lot too just because the stupid Tear AI likes to cast right in front of the enemies...yeah. We got tired of Tear killing herself so we just took matters into our own hands.
But enough about Abyss. I've also been reading a lot of random shoujo manga, but that is hardly new. I started Blue Exorcist too, which started off well but it's been ehhh in recent episodes. I like Rin a lot though, so I'll stick with it. I tried Tiger and Bunny, but it wasn't really my thing. I've been trying to find AnoHana streaming, but I couldn't find it on sites I trust so I think I'll see if I can download it on Gendou or something.
As for real life, I'm at home for summer break. It's boring, but AX is in a few weeks so yayyy. I'm entering AX Idol. I think I have a good monologue, so we'll see how that goes.
Oh, I also got into Kpop recently. Huzzah for sexy Asian men that can dance! So far I think I've only heard the super popular stuff, but I like it, so whatever. Some favorites are BoA's Energetic & Hurricane Venus, SHINee's Ring Ding Dong & Lucifer, DBSK's Mirotic, SNSD's Run Devil Run, and Nu ABO by f(x).
That is all I feel like talking about for now.
