We are living our lives…
First off, Oh. Man. Persona 4 Battle Theme. I’m in love. Apparently the soundtrack hits Japan tomorrow, so I shall, um, be on the lookout for where I can acquire it. But man, I can’t wait for the game! Even though I won’t get anywhere near beating it! Like Persona 3! And Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne! Oh well.
Secondly, take a look at this comic. It’s actually pretty damn funny. I was shocked and entertained yesterday. Here are a couple of favorite strips from their archives. Anyway, I was entertained. You can be too!
Let’s see, what happened since last I posted… well, the “not having any hours” thing I alluded to disappeared when I picked up like 17 more hours, so that was exciting and will make this paycheck exciting. They seem kinda serious about giving me more hours, which is exciting times as well. I may not be poor this last semester! Which is good, because I’m sure I’ll still have waaaaaaay too many video games I don’t need to buy to buy.
I also saw The Dark Knight. It’s good. But seriously, you probably knew that already, cause, let’s face it, you’ve seen it or you’ve seen the internet telling you that it’s fantastic. Well, I’m saying it again. So there.
We also played some more DnD! This time we had a whole lot of role-playing, actually, which was… unexpected! But fun. Spaeth’s “Dagger trap” he created by laying a dagger on the ground and Essner’s bluff tale of everyone’s experiences in a Tiefling Brothel were high points. There was also some good combat! I think I need to kick the encounters up a bit more… Binks Stubblecleft is sort of unstoppable… Combat Challenge is crazy good. I really need to either start ignoring the challenge or come up with enemies that can stop the fighter in his tracks, cause really, as long as Guy de Purplopolis and Captain Darryl Restitution use their healing moves intelligently, Binks is just… not going to die. There should be some element of danger, even if the last thing I want is someone permanently dead.
I also, in my sad little way, decided to roll up a character. Her name is Rachael Sparklewhisper (Thanks, Wizard 101, for the awesomely horrible last name!) and she’s all Eladrin Warlord style. Man, Warlords are all awesome and shit. Eladrins even have a really great racial feat that just adds free damage onto longswords and spears, and I was going to use spears anyway, so I took that. All in all, I feel like it would be fun to play! All badass and such! But I probably never will.
Anyway, our next gameplay session should probably mostly finish up this odd fetchquest arc I have going on, while still having combat… that’s sort of the hard part, I guess, as the next session seems really… talk-heavy in my head. Maybe I could just have it leading up to one HUGE combat. I don’t know. I’m thinking about it.
Last, but so, so, so very far from least, Mama drew me a new desktop background, and it is BEYOND AWESOME. Gaze upon it. My Twilight Heroes character never looked so badass! I don’t know if I thank her enough for how awesome she is to me sometimes.
Anyway, I guess that’s kinda caught up on things… so… bye!
