*forgets title*
Bleh, I've forgotten what I was going to say originally, but I was pleased with it >.> If I can remember what the title was going to be I'll put it up on the next one. There was a story to go with it too, which I've also forgotten. Ah well.

I went to Portsmouth on Thursday, and did not as much as I was hoping to do- EC Toys no longer trades cards any more, which left me with a Lava Golem that I can't get rid of. Growls ensued. Growls ensued previous to that when I got caught in a brief thunderstorm, having gotten to the shop half an hour before it opened >_<;

Still, I managed to get Ean a birthday present of Barrel Dragon and Airknight Parshath. And I found Predacon, too ^_^

Then I walked down to Toys R Us, just to see what they had. I didn't really feel like doing it after facing the disappointment of not having huge amounts of store credit at ECT, but as the next train only went to that station I guessed I might as well.

And I'm glad I did, heh. They had Salamalyon 2! He's a "Transforming" BeyBlade creature. I say "Transforming", because you actually get the dragon thing separate from the blade and it sits on top, but it looks fantastic anyway. I also got Bloody Roar: Primal Fury for £10.

It's one of those games I'd been thinking about getting for some time but never actually wanted to fork out £40-odd for it. So seeing it in the bargain bin was pleasingness.

Playing the game, I don't think it's worth much more than £10 anyway. It's fairly old, not exactly revolutionary in any way. I got it mianly because the characters turn into fantastic-looking animals then beat the hell out of whoever the opponent is. At least, that's the theory.

I usually stay well away from 2-player beat-em-ups, because I just find their storylines and gameplay rather dull unless you have an intense wish to clobber the person playing with you. Which you might as well do in real life, save you some time and money.

It's the button combinations that really get up my nose. Something like Smash Bros Melee I can cope with because it's just A+Left or whatever; this is Up, A, B, Down, A, A, B, X, Y, Up, Up, X... and so-on until your thumbs eventually drop off. And this is no different. I hate computer players who are too unfair. Yeah, this is me griping on only the second day of actually playing the game after having little practice, but it still annoys me. I don't think I'll get Soul Calibur 2. Unlike a lot of gamers I tend to buy a game with my sister in mind, because we kind of share them, even though I play on them a lot more. Hence, I like being able to have her playing as well. Smash Brothers is great, because you can have you two against two others and you can either be against each other with a CPU-controlled teammate or both against some computer nasties. The same with TimeSplitters 2. So it's not the best game in the world, ultimately.

Still, all things considered, Primal Fury is rather nice.

Alice's Adventures in Chichester
I'm going to audition for the part of the Gryphon in Alice, I've decided. It has a cokney accent, so I've been practicing glottlestops, heh ^_^ Should be good. I don't particularly mind which part I get, but that's what I'm aiming for.
