Who is this person I see on my friend-list?
Oh dear, more than a month without updating. I’m ashamed. And I’m afraid it won’t get better. I mean, I’ve always been pretty lunatic with updating, but right now it’s worse than ever. First the beginning of August was quiet, and I didn’t have too much work but I was so incredibly lazy on the evenings. And I spent all my time playing Pokémon. Then work went crazy, and is still crazy, and will probably be crazy for a while; I’ll be going on holidays in two weeks but that only means I have to finish as much stuff as possible before I go :/ On the evening I prefer surfing around rather than taking care of my own journal. *hides*
I know I’m late, but anyway, here’s my stance about the Facebook/Twitter crossposting: I don’t have either, so fear nothing from me. And if for whatever reason you’d want to quote my posts/comments in your crossposts, my only recommendation would be: just use the same common sense as you did before the new feature appeared. I support the opponents of this feature because I think it’s indeed a risk for privacy, but frankly, if you’re panicking about your reputation now, maybe you should have paid more attention to how you manage your online presence before. These buttons don’t change anything to the core of the problem, imho.
Speaking of LJ, the site changed its header shortly after I changed my default icon, don’t you think they go nicely together? :)
If you’re wondering, my default icon is from Bioshock 2. Which naturally brings me to some ramblings about Bioshock 3. I’m very pleased by the news about Infinite (did you see these amazingly pretty covers? *squee*), sure I will miss Rapture, but I prefer that the developers explore new environments before we get bored with the previous ones. Colombia looks promisingly beautiful, and as long as I get my fix of steampunkish utopia, I’m happy. I just hope the plot will be good...
I have finished SoulSilver! I mean, I didn’t succeed in winning 100 times in a row in the Battle Tower (my record is 31 victories), but otherwise I have pretty much done everything, even completed the Pokédex. I made a “competitive” team, which I love, but I think I’ll probably EV train a few more Pokémon in the future. I’m impatient for Black/White! I don’t like all the new Pokémon (though I’m really fond of this one, so I guess I’ll get White), but I can’t wait for the new features.
I also finished Shattered Memories! I thought it was extremely easy, which is saying a lot because of how much I usually tend to suck at video games. I died… twice, I think? And the separation between the exploration phases and the nightmare phases made the game not scary at all. But I’m not really complaining, since exploration is my favourite part in SH games. The plot was ok; I thought the ending was a bit of a let down but I thoroughly enjoyed the never-ending mindfuck that is the progression of the story. And I like the controls, again a rarity for a SH game.
The release of Birth by Sleep is only tomorrow here, so I’m going to pick up my game next evening, after I come back from work. It’s the collector edition, yay!
I still don’t have a PSP, but I managed to borrow my little brother’s one last weekend. The best part is, he also lent me all his games, which means I also have Crisis Core and Dissidia at hand! I started Crisis Core this week to wait for BBS, it will be hard to juggle between the two of them. Hard, but awesome ♥ I’m also currently replaying Syberia and Syberia 2 on a whim, just because a colleague at work is tempting me with the idea of a journey on the Trans-Siberian Railway, and this game is the closest thing I can do right now. I don’t care it’s almost 9 years old, it’s one of my childhood memories and it’s still very pretty to play. I just don’t know how I’m going to play 3 games at the same time. And meanwhile, my cross-stitch projects are not progressing one bit :( I can’t wait for my holidays! Hmmm free time~
I don’t know when you should expect a new update from me. Maybe I’ll squee about BBS or Crisis Core, maybe I’ll just stay brazenly lazy. But rest assured I’m still around and reading your journals, I <3 you all!
