Quickies
Some quick entries about the things I've seen/listened to/played
Castlevania: Lament of Innocence
Picked it up the other day because I love Castlevania. Despite the panning, it is solid and fun. Who cares that it's almost exactly like Devil May Cry. Looks pretty, sounds pretty, love all the satan heads everywhere and sometimes i pause to look at the little art pictures they have on the wall. I kinda have a Rodin fetish but who doesn't. I wish there were more items, but i guess this is cool in the way that it keeps it basic and really more like an original Castlevania title, relying on wits and reflexes rather than uber weapons. Maybe I'll pick up the newer one if I find it in the used bin.
Mega Man X Collection
So great. Some of the sound effects are kinda fucked up but otherwise fantastic. I just beat Sting Chameleon. Want to unlock battle & chase asap.
Project Runway
So after the final 3 were picked, everyone was thinking that Daniel was going to win. But then the last episode happened and everything Daniel made was kinda shitty and boring, so now everyone thinks Santino's going to win. I still think Daniel has the energy and the ideas to win this competition, and his partner is pretty great so I think he takes the gold.
Radiata Stories
Played about 2 hours of it. I think it looks great, like a 3D Saga Frontier 2. Also, I think the voice acting is pretty fantastic. One thing that has been bugging me about DQVIII is that the voice acting seems so lifeless and the delivery seems so canned. Ganz's VA is really impressing me with his inflection and comedic timing, its probably better than 95% of the anime dubbers out there.
Game wise, it seems to be a bit perplexing. I just learned that by saving I had actually advanced the plot and missed out on 3 or 4 sidequests. That's annoying. Real annoying. Fighting is pretty simple, like a dumbed down Star Ocean 3 (which I need to restart). Small attack, big attack, some guy healing me all the time, easy wins.
I think this game is going to get good maybe in 2nd quarter.
Ergo Proxy
GitS comparison. Appleseed comparison. etc. etc.
But still stylish and OMG RADIOHEAD (did they really say "crazy robot" instead of paranoid android?). Goth looking girl with figure (natch) hunts down cognent cyborgs who run amok. Secret government experiment passes on consciousness to various robots. Looks like ninja. Attacks goth girl in her bathroom. Thom Yorke sings.
Probably keep watching this, at least its visually interesting.
Wedding Present - Bizarro
A-. Pretty frickin great. Box Elder is on the lower half of best songs top to bottom. Really wish I had seen them last week.
