So it turns out one of my friends has something of a vendetta towards Pokémon. That or they just think it’s boring doing the same thing over and over again. This repetition, although, has never stopped me from wanting the games. There’s something soothing about it. Alas, I don’t think I currently have the funds to pick up either Pokémon Black or White. This is a shame because this is the first time a good number of people I know are buying the game and playing it. Being able to finally participate in the social aspect of the game series with more than 1 or 2 people sounds enticing. But hey, it’s not like I got far in Heart Gold.
The reason this conversation came up in the first place was due to spending last night with two friends of mine Alex and Abel. Alex, the Pokémon hater that he is, you may recognize from the video series I do, Let’s Playing. Anyway, with my wife busy at a teacher party, the three of us decided to grab some food. At a family restaurant. That’s less weird than it might be in the US and I’m not entirely sure why. But it was nice to get in a relaxed atmosphere with some friends and just be a little ridiculous. There was a couple sitting near us who were also clearly not Japanese, but I couldn’t make out the language they were speaking. So hopefully any of the potentially offensive things my party may have said went unnoticed by the Japanese and our neighboring patrons. Hey, we all have to let loose sometime.
So after eating too much we headed back to my placed where Abel loaded up Scott Pilgrim VS The World: The Game on my PS3. It’s been a while since I’ve done game sharing on the PS3 but I guess it still sort of works. That’s nice. The game itself was pretty fun too. Obviously drawing upon River City Ransom for some inspiration and throwing in tons of references to classic gaming. I haven’t attempted playing it solo just yet, but as multiplayer it was quite fun. It’s a shame that it’s only local multiplayer because I would love to play with some friends at any time. Also, it features a lot of bouncing breasts. But Abel claims that rings true to the artistic intent from the Scott Pilgrim comics, and we can’t go belittling art, now can we?
