Current Addition: Motha' Flippin Pleyame

Or maybe it's the Fountain of thin old Spanish guy and
short pudgy woman youneverknowitcouldbe.

So one blogger that I've had the pleasure of chatting with lately is Pleyame. He's really an awesome guy who's starting up a few new blogs, one dedicated to food, the other dedicated to funny webcomics. Being an avid fan of webcomics and cooking myself, we hit it off and have been helping each other out in the blogging game; I have provided a webcomic or two for him to blog about, he's helped me when I'm stuck on a review. He's joked that I'm the girl version of him (obvious bisexuality on my part aside) and I'm sure he's my long lost twin brother.

Anyways, if you're looking for a good recommendation for a webcomic or a deliciously unhealthy recipe, this guy's the person to follow. We'll probably collaborate a few more times in times in the future, so you'll probably hear his name again pretty soon!

Normal reviews will return tomorrow. Till then, see ya!

Current Addiction: Ace Attorney, Part 1

That's what she said.
whooalateupdate

Yesterday, I just blathered on and on about how much I love the Turnabout Trial/Ace Attorney games.  My post gathered a mixed response; some folks liked the games, some folks thought it'd suck, and a large group of people were confused by the concept. I suppose that means I should dive a little deeper and actually review the game. Or games, rather. There are currently five games in the series, for a total of 23 cases. Twenty four victims, fifteen different defendants, five investigations to conduct, twenty three culprits to find. Every case is a Turnabout-- because you turn the case around against unbeatable odds to solve it. If you're into solving murder mysteries and being the underdog, this game is for you.


Platform: Initially GBA, Re-released for DS, Wii, and iPhone
Company: Capcom
Year: 2001 (Japan/GBA), 2004(DS), 2009(Wii, iPhone)

OBJECTION!

Okay, I lied. I definitely do have energy for a SMALL review. Or maybe it's just me gushing. Hahaha.

Anyways, so recently, I discovered that the lovely folks at Capcom are not only making a Layton vs Phoenix Wright game, but a new Turnabout Investigations game as well! While the first Turnabout Investigations was good, it was missing a little "umph" that made the trial games so special. Perhaps it was because how the Turnabout Trials were organized; one part was investigation, and then the other part was the trial-- and during the trial part, you KNEW you were supposed to be on edge. I don't recall myself feeling particularly on edge during the Investigation game. That could also be because the suspect changed so often-- you never really were able to grow attached to the defendant. It was more about convicting the real murderer, not saving someone in trouble. However, this is probably because the game revolves around a prosecutor.

Looking at the trailer for the second, however, has me genuinely excited. It looks like DeKiller is going to be in the game-- and directly questioned, too! There's also a new lady judge, a new asshole prosecutor, and a detective that knew Edgeworth's father. What's interesting about the last bit is that the detective mentions Edgeworth being a defense attorney-- something I fully support! It would be interesting to see an Ace Attorney: Miles Edgeworth game. There's also a new feature called Logic Chess, which looks to be a MUCH BETTER upgrade from the standard logic he had last time. Srsly, this comic sums up the "SPECIAL ABILITY" :

Woo

Hey, it's been a while since I actually posted.

The thing is, I'm really busy lately, so I haven't been able to play ANY video games and do any reviews, really. And when I do have the time, I lack the energy for it. So for now, I'm just going to post some daily lolz, because laughter is the only thing I have energy for.

Welp, that's about it.

For now, here's this:

Bug Mondays

Mondays suck. I always feel sick to my stomach on them.

So why not upload shots of bugs and other glitches on this joyous occasion?

This bug is of one of my friends in a dungeon. Her character glitched and stayed in place while she rode off on her horse... It was quite amusing to see her levitate and gyrate in place.

Current Addiction: Mabinogi (An AS Game Review)

COME ON MORGANT MY FUZZY CHEST DEMANDS AN ANSWER
Howdy, folks. AS again!


Certainly not my first MMORPG, but one of my favorites, is Mabinogi. A Korean game based on Celtic mythology, Mabinogi explores a world filled with monsters called Fomors and their war against the humans. Battle your way through the world as a human, elf, or giant; mage, archer, melee warrior, or alchemist; become a holy paladin or dark knight, and eventually become a god in this vast and ever-growing game. However, while having a wide and varied list of things you can do in this game, its over-expansion leads to some serious downfalls. It's clear that Nexon puts its best developers to work at cranking out new features while letting older and considerably more broken features lay to waste at the expense of their customers. Not to mention the notorious reputation the company that runs the game, Nexon, has with its customers... But every game has its flaws, right?
