Optiums Maximus, gratias. Ok maybe not better than anybody but its good. For those who dont know the title is from Uncharted 2. I'll be giving the title of each paragraph a Latin title and for those out there who cant speak Latin WISE UP! Or just read the translation next to the original, provided by yours truly ![]()
Bonus Magnum! (very good)
Well first things first, I got Uncharted 2 right after school on Tuesday. I raced home as fast as I could and threw in Nate's newest adventure. My first impression is damn! I just played through the first game and can see how extraordinarily well this game is at progressing the series. The first game was epic and fun in the extreme but this takes it to an entirely new level; the scope of the adventure, the characters, (some new and some returning) provide everything you could ask for to keep things interesting and its got a plot that will keep you guessing and wanting to play more to find out what the next turn will be. The gameplay is a nice step up from the first too (the hand to hand combat is much better) and no more blind leaps of faith. Oh and did I mention the graphics? Best since MGS4, no contest, (although I haven't played Killzone 2) if you have an HDTV, a word of warning: eyes may pop out of sockets!!
Quinque fortis puellae et Deus ex mechina (5 brave girls and the machine of God)
On Thursday I finished Kanon, an anime I recently bought at the behest of a friend's recommendation and it was worth every penny. Kanon is one of the select few that has the privilege of being granted a 10 for me and the only series that isn't mech inspired to achieve this (yeah I gave Ghost in the Shell and Akira 10s but they are movies not a series.) The story is brave and moving at the same time and really makes you think about what everyday people take for granted. An uplifting ending and memorable characters make this one a worthy addition to my anime collection. Makoto was Id say my favorite, her unique story and love for Yuichi was positively gripping. The second part of that title is about my reading, I am almost done with the EVA manga and what can I say other than wow, perfection! A true testament to the story, an alternate telling, but one that I would say is so far, as good as the anime.
Qui est vita sine versus et puellae? (What is life without poetry and girls?)
Well my school is running another poetry contest for the school paper, this time the prose needs to be in the romantic style of British authors. And I guess I have to enter it because my teacher is allowing for the winner to be exempt from the final exam! So Im hard at work trying to get off what I hear from seniors is a pretty hard test. Ive got some ideas and the thing is due in 2 weeks so maybe sometime soon you guys will have something nice to read ![]()
I'll leave you with a quote from Cicero
"Fidem habentibus nihil est incertum." To those having faith nothing is uncertain.
