I like putting the most ridiculous clothing possible on the character and then dying it some outlandish color. Also giving them a terrible haircut, making them fat and putting facial hair on the females is fun.
Of course no one will want to sleep with you/marry you but whatevs. It's funny.
Ah, finally completed Silent Hill: Homecoming after it sitting on my shelf for about two months 
weirdly, I have only ever turned it on three times since I bought it. Despite my disgust at certain graphical blemishes (or should I say laziness?) the game really was a mixed bag of the draw dropping and eye cringing kind.
For example (without spoilers), the lighting and texture work of the first 'Hell" moment during the prologue was absolutely fantastic, yet wander around the town and the monotone of grey, low res textures and washed out colours looked like they were ripped straight from the PS2. Yet, 5mins later the game drops your jaw again. Overall I must say I liked the game A LOT more in comparison to number 4 and it sits pretty much alongside Silent Hill 3 for the most part as a strong contender for my second fave SH game. Despite some graphical flaws the overall presentation was acceptable and the combat did give you a sense of power while still not making you feel totally invincible like a certain Chris Redfield in Kijuju*
*Note: Okay, Professional is hard as nails but the games tank mechanics ultimately make it harder than it should be.

Okay I'm going to start Persona 3 but while I'm playing that I have Blaze Blue: The Calamity Trigger (PS3) to fill in anything else.
Awesome... X3

I've been playing Mario Kart Wii almost non-stop since I got a wi-fi connector thing. I still think Double Dash is a lot better, but the online mode makes up for all its faults.
. I've just finished Case 2 (I love the twist at the end *O*) and i'm about to start the one involving Maximillion Galactica, who is absolutely fabulous *O*I'm still playing Call of Duty on PS3. On the Wii i'm playing Rock Band and Wii Sports Resort.
On the DSi I'm going to be hooked on Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box. It comes out next week and i'm excited!

professor layton! a new game? awesome.
started Megaman ZX... not as bad as I thought it'd be... still a bit too gay, lol, but the music is good and the gameplay is just oldschool... hate the map system though

I beat Mega Man today. But I used the pause cheat for the Dr. Wily fights, so I am going to keep playing and practicing until I can do it without
I did it once without the cheat and without continuing. An accomplishment worthy of striving for indeed.holylampposts wrote:

I'm close to the end of FFXII. I'm kind of glad I didn't pay full price for it :S It's ridiculous how obscure some of the sidequests and paths to the best equips are and I didn't really care about the plot or the characters :/ Like there's nothing you would feel bad about having spoiled by accidentally reading a plot summary or game discussion OH NO BALTHIER'S REAL NAME IS FFAMRAN AND FRAN LEFT THE VILLAGE VOLUNTARILY O: According to TVTropes I'm just not picking up on "subtext" (which could be true) but....
Also the fake Shakespearean English was kind of annoying and I am unhappy that they took this route with the updated translation of FF Tactics

Persona 3 is a good game. The main character's adorable.
Ugh, I wish I still had it. Now I just have Persona 4 and Devil Summoner 2.
GameCube's starting to die, btw. It restarts for no reason ;_;
Though I'm pretty sure it's either dirt on the laser, dust bunny colonies in the fans, or something to do with my chewed up controller cord.
Also, almost beat Zelda. Played it for 5 days straight and now I can't beat Zant. Like, seriously. Also, he looks like a fish.
