This is going to take much longer than I thought, because I’ve been super-busy this week and will be even busier next week. Back when I was in college I used to look down on people who complained about being “busy.” I had SO much time on my hands back then, even after climbing five mountains on my way to school, 7 days a week, uphill both ways in 100 feet of snow, you young people have it easy, blah blah blah. If you’re still in school, enjoy it while it lasts!
Who? In fact, who are you guys?
Phantasy Star Portable: I’ve almost forgotten what the story is, I’m so busy doing the free missions. We’re still chasing the same terrorist we’ve been dealing with since chapter 1. This is shaping up to be the first RPG I’ve ever played where the initial bad guy turned out to be the ultimate baddie after all.
The mindless slashing is just the balm I need after a hard day at work, too. I’m just worried that I’ll spend so much time on this that I’ll burn out and be unable to play an ARPGs for the rest of the year. I should get back to the story missions.
Harukanaru Toki no Naka de 4: Haven’t progressed much from where I left off. Our heroine and her bishie troops are going around defeating the four “gods.” I beat Suzaku and just beat Byakko, so I know what the next couple of hours are going to look like.
I still haven’t found a guy in the game that moves me, and then there’s the little problem of Chihiro being too front-and-center. You’re supposed to be able to put yourself in the heroine’s shoes a little bit in romantic games. This game is more like an ordinary RPG: you either like the protagonist or you don’t (I don’t). Plus she hasn’t shown any romantic interest in anyone yet (or vice-versa, come to think of it) so I’m just going to play it like a normal game and let the chips fall where they may.
I’m going to play an hour or two of PSP now, and then we old people need our sleep.
