Damn liberal hippie neo-cons.
Or something. I’ve got to find someone to blame for my troubles over the weekend and it may as well be someone who doesn’t exist so I don’t have to imagine their faces piercing me every time I think of the pain I’ve experienced.
Yeah, it was that bad.

Huh. Came across this while studying today. I think one thing that is really interesting about Japanese is how the language can easily form “words” for things we in English would require a whole phrase for. An interesting thing, although is that the German language does this as well, although using the Roman alphabet we employ in English. If I remember correctly from my High School German class, a “Sunday afternoon walk” is Sonntagsnachmittagsweg. Interesting how languages can do so many similar things while being nothing alike.
Because knowledge is power and power is awesome I’ve decided to do my best to recall the tournament I played who knows how long ago in Osaka. Been typing this up for weeks but now I’m going to finish it off. I placed fourth which is pretty good considering my previous tournaments have left me in the dust after round one the majority of the time.

Late again!
Made some solid progress in SaGa 2 DS and uh. Whuh? Where did my week go? The more days in a week I have off the less I actually get done. Such is the awesomeness of some time principle that I don’t fully understand. More things to work on in life.
Anyway.
The SaGa 2 DS remake is just awesome. It really is. I’m sure a lot of people won’t like it because it is even more SaGa than it originally was, leading it down the path to be like the later SaGa games that most people really hate. That’s to say it’s not as simple as it used to be. But a lot of that stuff is extra and from what I can see can be ignored. The challenge is pretty rough, but I’m really enjoying it.
Now let’s see if I can’t get some gaming done this week.
So, November has begun. Looking back on my “I beat a game today, yay!” calendar, I see I completed four games in October. Not bad considering how busy I have become. None were completed this week but I did get to play a good bit of two games in particular.
Arcana is a pretty fun, yet tough, dungeon crawler. The music, although, is outstanding. I finished the first two chapters and want to get onto the third but the game is pretty intimidating. Battles can be pretty rough and there are lots of them. I’m one unfortunate loss away from not wanting to continue the game. I guess I’ll just have to progress slowly yet carefully.
Fallout 3 has been the other game taking up my time as of late and I’m not sure how I feel about it. Mucking around in the open world is fun, but it never really seems to satisfy me. I’ve been tackling the main quest hoping to get some sort of feeling of accomplishment but I’ve yet to get any sense of it. I’m not so sure what it is about games like this that feel so empty to me but I’m working my ay through this one to see if I can’t figure it out.
