Most of the drama here on livejournal kind of goes over my head anyway. So I'm okay with that. All the other journal like things the set up just confuses me anyway, I've had the livejournal for four almost five years, so I fully support it and try to get more friends corrupted on it but sadly they go for facebook and myspace. D:

My first time playing was because my roommates brothers were doing multiplayer and one had to leave so he needed another person and my roommate made me do it. Sooo yeah... Which brought me to play Zhang He first (I thought he was amusing) and Pang Tong (becuase of his cool hat~)

Samurai Warriors is amusing, more of the same stuff of course. But it gives you a bit more of where some of the characters come from during Orochi. And you do get some incredibly amusing lines from some of the characters. And if you were to expand I would recommend Samurai Warriors 2, by then they worked out some of the character controls and there's no more annoying castle levels. I was introduced through Samurai Warriors 2: Empires so I really had no idea what I was doing with these silly people and why some of them hated each other or whatever... that was interesting.

As long as I can skip over rescuing Yue Ying again, I'm fine~ I remember going through Koshi for Sengoku and Nobunaga moved to go against Orochi, by the time I got there he was pretty much dead. AI, great some times but other times I just want to say, "No stay!" Like Zhuge Liang's brilliant idea of him fighting Orochi, to that I say o.O

Omg, it's funny that you brought up Facebook, because I got banned from there for no reason (or, rather, my account was turned off by the admin for something LOL!!) and myspace, uhg. That place is just... no. LJ is best by far *nod*

I love Zhang He's costumes in.. umm... 4 I think? They're so great X3

Ahh, that what I suspected.. it also looks like there are different fighting angles and stuff. I'll look around and see if I can get SW2.. maybe on amazon ;D

Bleh, Yue Ying just annoys me. And yes! That would be the best thing ever to be able to control the units... especially save them from killing themselves! xD

o.O That's just weird. I try to convince people of that, but no one will believe me. I normally feel pretty in control of livejournal and my account so I'm good.

With the butterfly wings? That's what made me play him in the first place. I was greatly amused by him. And then watching his cut scenes where he makes his soldiers spin and twirl. Or even in five where he got Xiahou Yuan to twirl, that just made my day that time I saw it.

You can turn the cameral angle around which is always helpful when you're stuck in a corner. And there are R1 moves like in Orochi but then you combine R1 with Trinangles or Squares to get different things such as power ups or in Xtreme Legends Yoshimoto plays dead... useless, but incredibly funny.

That level annoyed me, it was one of the few I had to do mulitple times while plying it the first time. Now it's easier but in the beginning... ugh. At least that was my problem level first time through, that and trying to get Keiji and Zhen Ji D: And that's one plus thing about the Empires games, you can just tell people to stay put. Sometimes it's a shame you can't do that in the other games.

I have proof!! LOL I'm thinking it's because of the school thing. I was homeschooled.. and it's like.. if you don't get your school to approve your profile they generally will say no to you and cut you off D:! Yess, in control! I agree! ;D

The butterfly wings, yes! Oh that's my favorite costume of his! XD When I first saw him I was like, "What in the....hell? *laughs*" After that, I like, HAD to play him so I could run around in that costume. Who gets killed by a guy wearing butterfly wings!?

Okay, now that's really neat. I'll have to get 2 and Legends to see Yoshimoto play dead. That just sounds priceless XD

Yeah I had trouble with it too, and getting Keiji too; running back and forth isn't fun at all! Fdsa, I have DW5 Empires, and I never play it... I'm a tactical retard when it comes to that one >:B

Oh, I never said I didn't believe you. It's still weird. Now I've heard it doesn't go by school anymore so it doesn't matter now. They didn't have my school when I first looked at it and I never really went back.

I loved the butterfly wings, I couldn't help but laugh at the idea that they were so outlandish. I really do like his moveset to, but the outfit still gets me. Even in six, while I haven't played it yet, I still can't help but be amused. And apperently a lot of people who feel very silly getting killed by a guy in butterfly wings~

I always played fun with the R1 things and I get to Yoshimoto and he said, "I feel faint" twirled and fell over. I just sat for a bit going o.O before laughing. It's kind of helpful when you don't really want to fight someone for about two seconds but other then that it's just for laughs.

First time with Keiji consited of me accidently getting Zhou Tai killed and me going oops... Then doing it again, I love Lu Meng and all but I was getting so annoyed at him telling me to hit the drums that I started yelling at him to hit them... D: I played Samurai Warriors 2: Empires first and I had no idea what I was doing considering I got it used and it didn't have the book. I was so confused and all I wanted to do was play Masamune. But once I figured things out it was fine. It's just a matter of timing and hoping you don't get five guys hitting you at once~ Especially with Yukimura and Mistuhide in those five... not fun.

Yeaaah, I like bringing it up.. makes me giggle since it's like, years old. Ooo, I haven't heard about that.. but.. eh, then there's all the applications. I found it annoying when someone would like, completely over-due the tagging thing with one app. It's like, "whoa, stop now?". Then someone else does it. -o-

I haven't played 6 either.. though I'm not all that interested in buying it. They took some great characters out D: Hehe, I'm sure it scars some egos being beaten by a guy in butterfly wings!

LOL: "It's kind of helpful when you don't really want to fight someone for about two seconds". That's just wonderfilled! xB

Urk, I started doing the same thing! Right in the middle of saving someone from being killed, having to run all the way back across the map just to hit the drums! Then someone dying and me not noticing until the end... it's like, uhg! But when you finally get win and get him, it's the greatest. ;D

I don't know much about any of the other web journals so I can't say much there. Livejournal is just fine~

I don't have a playstation 3 so that kind of puts a damper on that. I was very upset about some of the characters they took out of it, two of them were in my top three (Jiang Wei and Da Qiao) which only left me with Sima Yi... And taking out Pang De didn't help either. Also I didn't like the idea that people became clones. But I do have six for the playstation 2 on pre-order and I'm waiting for that now. After Orochi 2 of course~

It was one of those levels that two players would have been helpful. One to watch the north and hit the durms then another to take care of everyone down south. It was also annoying without having a higher level horse or a high speed character. Then Keiji kept yelling at me for not having team work and I couldn't figure out why until I realized Zhou Tai had been killed. D: Once I did get him, I didn't know what to do with him considering I wasn't about ready to change out one of the three I was using at the time.

Ahhh, well you'll have to tell me how it looks and turns out for you! The whole fact that Lu Bu kinda turned emo sealed the deal for me; he wasn't one of my usual characters, but I enjoyed playing him every now-and-then.. Jiang Wei and Da Qiao, yeah, two of my favorites. But it was also like, they kept Xiao, but why take out Da? I just don't get it. -lesigh- And if I remember right, they took Ma Chao's spear away! T3T The main reason he's one of my top characters, is well; you don't even have to get off your horse to wipe everyone out! >8D

Two players....why didn't I think of that.... ;w;

Well, I'm not too worried about Lu Bu. I'm more looking forward to the idea that some of the characters might actually do something more. And I want to play the Orochi story. I never understood that, how are they supposed to be the two Qiaos when one is missing? I don't even think Xiao does anything in the game anway. They took Ma Chao's spear away in the special. But him on the horse, that was always fun. Espeically when you put him on Shadow Runner aka for me "George" and then just sit there and play fun with his charge attack~

I would have done two players but there's no one that I can convince to play with me considering I don't live with my roommate anymore and none of my friends are nearby. D:
