Hiya. It's your buddy, Khezschnik here. But don't call me that, or I'll rip a demonic baby-spawning hole in the ground. Oh yes. I'm not joking.

I still don't have a working Internet connection at my place. So boring. In this blog, I'll have to use a category system thingy.

Sooo. How's it goin'? I seem to be catching a cold.. Again. This is the third time within a month! x.x I hope it won't develop into a tough one.. Again, again. As if that's not enough, the grand ball was horrible. Aside from dancing, there was only SingStar, board games and horribly overpriced lemonade. I'll just skip it next year, seriously. Too much traumas.

Changed my avatar, as you may have noticed. From an orange thingy to another, this time it's Pyro Jack. Since he's the very start of the celebration of Halloween and an awesome character in a great RPG series, I thought he's a good pick. Now, Jack, how about you lend me a lantern of that awesome Magic stat!?

I don't really celebrate Halloween, though. It's not that big of a thing and it forces you to choose between giving away your candy and getting bombed with eggs. Pretty annoying if you ask me. However, I did order a couple of Halloween-themed goods..

I only got Kuro, since I already have Toro in a summer festival costume. Oh, the pumpkin's removable. Revoltech makes pretty great figurines, and I'm a huge fan of Toro and Kuro, as you probably know. I wonder if I have to get Christmas editions soon.. Oh, I also got this:

Yup. Well, he's not that Halloween-themed, being spooky around the year and all. Brook's my favorite character in One Piece (which is pretty much the only ongoing anime I watch; Sgt. Frog I only do as manga, after all).He's just so awesome! This figure's pretty small, and of the "construct it yourself" kind. Until a huge, high-quality Brook statue is released, I'll just worship this one. Man, I'm such a geek. But then again, dinosaurs are cool as heck.

Games

So, I've been playing quite a few games. I finished Brutal Legend (which was awesoooooome!) and I totally give it a 9.5. It's really near a perfect game, having been built around metal and all. The only minuses are its short length and somewhat kersnatchylistic textures. Other than minor visual and.. spatial.. time-related.. whatevery issues, one of the best games of the year.

On the DS, I tried out A Witch's Tale, which was a huge disappointment. Unlike I expected from Nippon Ichi, the story's clichéd and the battle system boring. It was boring but playable, if you don't happen to have any better games. Same goes for the Wizard of Oz. Well, the battle system is somewhat intuitive, but the story's not interesting enough to keep you.. well, concentrated. It's different from the original, in case you were about to say that the story's not boring. But yeah, it was okay.

Right now, other than going through Ninja Gaiden and Brutal Legend in loops, I'm playing Shounen Sunday x Shounen Magazine: White Comic on the DS. Don't know it? Oh you crazy parrotmonkeys, Shounen Sunday and Magazine are the biggest shounen manga mags after Jump. Conan and Zetsubou Sensei, for example, are "theirs". White Comic's an RPG with the greatest characters from Sunday and Magazine. Sure, the story's really lame and is just an excuse for so many ass-kicking characters to appear in one place, much like Jump Ultimate Stars' story mode. The battle system is nice and the dialogue is hilarious. It does have a little kanji, but not too much so that I can understand about 90% of it.

A strange friendship, huh? Conan appears in the very beginning to explain stuff and isn't seen again until further in the story. There are characters from hundreds of series. I give it a 9 for its excellency, with only the story as a grief. Only for Japanese speakers, mind you.

Now, the final issue. Tekken 6 or Fallout 3? I can afford only one of these. I need to get GGXXAC+ on Nov. 1 (its Euro release date), and that can't happen without.. money. So, a fighting heaven with Tekken and Guilty Gear or RPG goodness plus bloody pixel badassness?

That's it, I guess. Sorry for such a long blog (took me 2 sessions on separate days to write!). I'll see ya around and check your blogs asap. Hail to the llama box, and don't forget to hype Henry's NMH playable debut and the new Beatmania! So much hype, all over me. Oh yes. Rub it gooood.
