My H-Scroll.. It is.. DESTROYED.

God damn those really wide ads.

Comment Commentary

satan665- There's no denying that you brutally beat the shit out of things in God of War (more grotesquely than in DMC), but outside of the "special moves," it's just rather dull to fight. I have my extendo-blade thingers up to Level 3 now, and I have three magic skills, but somehow there just seems to be more attack variety in Dante's Awakening.. Probably because there's only one real weapon, while there's five or six in DMC3.

It's still fun though. I find that some of the special moves are getting tiresome, though.

Shin- Then you'd better not LOOK IN A MIRROR.

Ooooh, burn!!1

So yeah, I wasted my entire day on God of War. I have no idea how far I am into the game; I hear it's short, but I must have racked up five or six hours today. I won't go on with any more impressions or anything, since I said most of what I had prepared in the comments above.

Most of you that read this were around when we had that Daily Posting Contest going on around myOtaku. And those of you who read my mO at the time might remember why I dropped out: I skipped one night because I was at a friend's going-away party.

Well, she's back in town now, and after Ethan and I spent hours alone in the mall we went over to her aunt and uncle's house, where she's been staying.

Someone else we know showed up, and some who were expected to didn't. In the end, after catching up with each other, we popped in Pulp Fiction on DVD.

One of the coolest things about this person is that she's a Quentin Tarantino junkie. She has bits and pieces of dialogue memorized, posters, etc. Awesomeness.

Technically, this was the first time I saw any of Pulp Fiction uncut. The only way I've had access to it up to this point was Bravo, and they always run the melon-farmer version.

As opposed to motherfucker.

We only got up to the Watch segment, though. Sadness.

I think I've given up on importing Electroplankton. I don't think it has enough "meat" to it to keep my fifty bucks justified.

Instead, I've become hellbent on importing Jump Super Stars when it comes out.

Just in case you were too lazy to click the link, Jump Super Stars is a DS fighter game developed by Nintendo starring a myriad of characters from a variety of Shonen Jump manga. IGN says that there are about 150 characters from at least twenty-seven different series in the game.. Of course, not all of these are full-fledged fighters. One of the cool things is the "manga decks"- each character has a card with one of three abilities- Battle, Support or Help- and you organize your set of cards on the bottom screen like a page out of a manga. You then activate the cards in-battle, affecting the battle in various ways.

In case my ramblings are impossible to understand, there's a trailer here.. And then there's this one, which explains the gameplay.

Though it's not in English, of course.

The fighting itself plays like Super Smash Bros, which is another huge reason that I'm excited. Super Smash Bros gameplay + a huge selection of Jump characters - Viz's attempts at localization ("Ninja Centerfold!") = I HUNGER.

So.. Yeah. I need $50. o_O

EDIT: Oh God, Lik Sang, I love you.

(Some game called "White Men Can't Jump. Also in French and German.)
