Welcome Friends!

Heh, it's been a while, eh? Sorry 'bout that. It's been hard juggling school and... yeah, just about everything else. :|

Ironically, it seems that Senior Year is worse than last year could have ever been. And to that I say... WTF?! :shock: It makes no sense that we should be bogged down with strenuous classes that might actually hamper our chances of getting into college, when we should instead be learning college preparatory techniques (y'know, the things that actually matter). Seriously, Calculus is by far the worst experience I've ever had with Math... and I like Math! I'm seriously starting to rethink whether or not I want to major in Engineering, because I effin' hate Calculus. I hate, hate, hate, hate, HATE IT! Seriously, if nuclear weapons were powered by hate, the resulting explosion would wipe out our solar system and Alpha Centari. I'm not saying that I'm an advocate of senioritis and taking courses like Interstate Trucking and Basket Weaving, but this is frakin' redonkulous! Long story short:

*sings* I BLAME OUR SCHOOLS! (see 0:33)

Other than my loathing of school which burns with the passion of one thousand white-hot suns, not much has happened. Cross Country is almost over, which means that I'll have some free time on my hands. :D Hopefully, this will give me an opportunity to catch up with reviews and other things (I've really fallen behind).

Gaming Updates!
Okami: I have to follow Moon Princess Kaguya in one of those detestable "Let's Dig for Menial Crap!" events. But before that, I'm going to wrap up a few side quests in the Capital.

MadWorld: My word, this game was amazing. Too bad that it's really short. But still, it was great. Love this game to death, even if there isn't much replay value.

Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon: Marth! I'm enjoying this game, but then again I love Fire Emblem. Frey is quite possibly the best cavalier ever! He is destruction incarnate. 8) It's too bad that Hard Mode (the canonical story that skips over the added prologue) kills him off in order to have him save Marth. :( Oh well, I used Jagen (that's Jeigan to some of you) as the sacrifice instead! Yup! I killed the Jeigan character! :twisted: Yes, I have no shame. :lol: Oddly enough, Shadow Dragon seems to go against past FEs; in order to recruit some of the best units in the game, you have to kill off some of yours... :(

Devil May Cry - 5th Anniversary Collection: Let's see. I beat DMC. I beat DMC2. I beat DMC3. All that's left is to beat the extra storylines to unlock the hidden characters and then go back to see if I missed anything. CRAZY! :P Jeez, Dante is such a ham, but that's why we love him. :D

Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King: Finally, I beat Dhoulmagus! :cry: Phew, he was ridiculous. I'm now on a wild goose chase to get back the sceptre, which means that I'll have to fight Sir Leopold next. Whoopee...

Final Fantasy XII: Man, I haven't played this game in ages. I'm in the Dynast King's tomb and just vanquished those two pesky Demon Walls.

Final Fantasy X: Ditto. Finally made it past that Bevelle ordeal (the first time I played, I didn't exactly use the Sphere Grid for what it was worth, but c'mon, I was nine when I first got the game!) and beat the Chamber of Fayth (I hate those puzzles, but Bahamut was worth it! 8)) and trounced Seymour Natus (darned MultiCasting!). I just made it to the Calm Lands, but I believe that some level grinding (more like sphere grinding) is in order. ;)

Final Fantasy IV: Restarted the game (due to the fact that I missed some valuable items such as Augments) and surprisingly, it didn't take long to almost get back to where I was. I'm currently in the Giant of Babil, where I must face my dreaded enemy... the CPU and its insanely cheap Laser Barrage. Ding dang it! :(

The King of Fighters '98 Ultimate Match: This game is just so much fun to play. I wish that KOF 2002UM would be released on the PS2 in the States... Darn it SNKP! :evil:

The Legendary Starfy: It's like a Kirby game, only easier. I'm somewhere in World 4, but that's only because I'm snooping around for treasure.

So, that's pretty much it. I'll make my rounds ASAP. Ciao! :)
