Jimmy, meet yourself.

Sep 08, 2007 03:21

Went to the Games Convention Asia exhibition today, with the sibling. Wandered about like a kid in a candy shop. Both of us were quite taken with Lair: dragon-centric game for the PS3, incredibly gorgeous. However, same cannot be said for the controls. There was also a stage, on which was performed the most excruciating rendition of Sexyback I hope ( Read more... )

(Scratch the earlier comment. I've edited it.)

I was at a media event today, and it seems like the only thing that people said was appealing about GCA was...

... the girls. Uh.

Dropped by for a very short while on Thursday (all of ten minutes), though I think I'll have a more thorough look tomorrow. =D

*grin* Most unfortunately, I am unable to appreciate the girls, but I am happy that people other than I were able to. ;) They did strike me as rather young, though, but I suppose that's on par with the event.

I did think the offerings were rather sparse and that there wasn't much to interest one, but it was a free event, so I'm not complaining. ;) It'd be fun to hear what you think about the event, but I can't imagine your review of it will be any more positive than mine.

I just downloaded MapleStory recently because the Singapore town is just so cute. *pinches its cheeks!* xD

I'm kind of only interested in Nintendo DS games, though. I'm not a big fan of Sony and their money-eating ways. =/ I can't wait for that Figure Skater game to come out! You know there's also a Ratatouille game, right? It's probably out for the PS2, too. :)

... D8... the Singapore town has a tiny statute of CHIBI STAMFORD RAFFLES. I do not know whether to laugh or cry at the existence of a Singapore town. I mean. IF YOU LIVE IN IT WHY ON EARTH WOULD YOU WANT TO PLAY IN IT, TOO, but that is just me. I thought games were about ESCAPISM! Not GETTING BACK into the world!

HAHA ;) The one thing I love about MASSIVE MOVIE GAMES is that they get released for ALL PLATFORMS. There's Ratatouille for XBox and the PC, too, so AS MANY PEOPLE CAN PLAY IT AS POSSIBLE.

LAUGHS AT THE FIGURE SKATING GAME. OKAY SWEETIE, I cover the figure skating books, YOU DO THE GAMES! ALSO OH OH OH I borrowed this Sasha Cohen book today!

I AGREE ON SONY AND THEIR MONEY EATING WAYS. CURSE THEM for releasing the PS3 the year I bought my PS2. ;)

You know, being Belgian (it is an art after all!) it is just a little surprising that I am more in touch with my patriotic side than you are - especially since we don't have adorable songs about the love four our country PLAYING AT AT EVERY MRT STATION. *grin!*

I would LOVE to play a game set anywhere in Belgium. EVEN IN THE WALLOON PART. I mean it. O.o

OH MY GOD! You got Fire on Ice! *JEALOUSY!* Let me know if it is interesting to read Y/Y? xD I really want to order it at Waterstone's next time I'm in Brussels! Even if I just want to read it to develop more Sasha-related plotbunnies.... :')

I will patiently wait for the way you acquire a Nintendo DS Lite. T.T

Maybe it's just Maple Story that makes me roll my eyes, but this studio intends to release this game that's set-in/based on Singapore, and while I think it's the cheesiest thing ever, I do like the look of the characters and the idea behind the game. I will happily buy this game when it comes out. Just not Maple Story.

I'd like to see how patriotic you'd feel about your country if your country had songs about your love for your country playing at every MRT station, bank, and on every bus with television. *rolls eyes* Oh, please. We're not children who need the LOVE FOR OUR COUNTRY rammed down our throats. It makes you much less disposed to it, if it's being forced in your face and down your throat every day ( ... )

Haha, Lair looks incredibly good...and incredibly D&D/Dragonlance-ish. I'm slowly bending to the power of Sony's death grip on all the pretty games...despite the ridiculous price they're PS3s are fetching.

I love dragons. Did I mention that? When I was a kid, all I could think about was how awesome it would be to be a dragonrider (this after my obsession with dinosaurs - my mother was sure I was actually the child of some sort of bizarre lizard).

aefallen September 9 2007, 18:52:48 UTC

OMG if you love dragons! Have you seen D-Wars? It's a Korean movie named Dragon Wars, and the special effects are amazing. Here is a trailer on youtube, though I highly recommend watching it from the website for much better breathtakingresolution. I never knew you liked dragons! ♥

If you love dragons, have you ever read Naomi Novik's Temeraire series? It is pretty much amazing, and I would recommend this book a thousand times over. ♥ I don't normally like dragons or naval settings, but this book won me over.

I was obsessed with dinosaurs as a child too! I blame it on Jurassic Park, which had both my siblings and I totally obsessed. My youngest brother wanted to be Alan Grant. XDDD

T_T I know what you mean! I went to the games store today and saw that LAIR cost S$105, or US $68. AND I'd still need a PS3 to play it. *facepalm* I told myself I wouldn't get one til the ENGLISH version of FFXIII came out.

firestorm717 September 9 2007, 19:10:21 UTC

No, I haven't, but OMG that looks gorgeous *_* I don't usually watch fantasy films nowadays unless they've got really high production values like LotR. Did that movie already come out in the theaters? Why didn't I hear about it? T_T Reminds me of Dinotopia...I used to read that series a lot and wish I could live there XD (okay, so they're dinosaurs instead of dragons...whatever ( ... )

aefallen September 9 2007, 19:54:09 UTC

D-Wars' wiki entry (warning: spoilers) states that it was released in August 2007 in Korea. Says it's set for a September 14 release in the states. ;) My country has said absolutely nothing about it, so I can only imagine when it's coming out. ;)

! My brother loved Dinotopia! ;) I didn't, but I loved the artbooks. They were AMAZING.

XDDDD!! Eragon was a dragon movie! Did you watch it? Or got scared off by the horrible plot? XDD ( ... )

Baby Jimmy!

aefallen September 9 2007, 18:53:52 UTC

Baby Jimmy indeed! He's completely good-looking, and he looks so very in-control, too!

elvaron September 8 2007, 01:57:19 UTC

Holy crap, the resemblance is amazing.

How are you? I haven't heard from you in ages.

LOVES YOU SHACHOU! aefallen September 9 2007, 18:58:30 UTC

It is such an amazing resemblance, isn't it? Except this young!Jimmy looks more seme and in-control than actual!Jimmy. ;) Buuuut I bet that Jimmy is such a consummate/obsessed skater that he could LEARN how to LOOK seme if the program called for it.

*snug!* Busy, but I know you are busy too! *snuuug* I saw you in class the other day! WANTED TO POUNCE ON YOU AND GLOMPTACKLE YOU A THOUSAND TIMES. I SHALL ACT ON MY WILD ♥!!! the next time!
