Welcome to Gaia! :: View User's Journal | Gaia Journals

This'll be an update on my life in general, the games I'm currently playing, and anything else currently in the pipeline.

PSP:
DJ Max Portable 2
Monster Hunter Freedom: Unite
Dungeon Siege: Throne of Agony
Mina de Golf 2

PS2:
Ace Combat 4
God of War 1 and 2

PC:
The Sims 3
Arx Fatalis
Aion: The Tower of Eternity
Torchlight

First up, DJPM2. A rythym based game in the style of Rock Band and Guitar Hero, this game is actually the Korean version of the Bemani... er, Beat Mania Japanese series of music games (DDR, Keyboard Mania, etc). Filled with tons of current chart-topping K-pop music, it's a lot of fun, and due to the PSP lacking a region lockout, it's a great import, mostly owing to the fact that it has the option of being played in Japanese, Korean, and English.

Well, if you don't know what Monster Hunter is, there's tons of reviews, incluing my own, which will fill you in. Currently, I just hit HR7, and, together with Yume, killed an Akantor. Without the flash bomb exploit. Yume is currently HR6, and Chaos is HR5. He just can't seem to last against Tigrex.

The Sims 3 is a great game, I believe the best in the series. A lot more options, greater interaction, and a much larger area to play in, even in the vanilla game. Unfortunately, I know EA's style, and a lot of the things that should've been included are going to be released as expansion packs.

In Aion, I'm still level 32, and Yume is slowly catching up, being nearly level 26 now. So, soon, hopefully, we'll be able to play together. And I'll finally get to see the Fire Temple. =P

Let's see, what else....

In the RP pipeline, I have two series available, Hikari no Densetsu (Of course), and one based on Vampire: The Masqurade. Having re-made HnD part 1 in my new system, the sequel has been completely remade.

I also have a new series I'm starting, that will span both a book, and an RP. Tentatively called "Planetfall", it's set in the far futuristic setting, where the players crash-land on a harsh planet, and need to find what they can to survive. Cobbling-together technology and primitive elements, their eventual objective is to leave the planet, although others will pop up. After all, while it is a harsh world, I never said it was uninhabited.

RP first, book later, unless it takes more than a month for me to get all my players together.

Finally, my personal life. Well, we announced our engagement to my family, so Yume and I are officially engaged. To be married. (In case it wasn't clear.) Had to pay off a speeding ticket, and go to traffic school, and just completed jury duty, thankfully, without having to actually go in. Work is well, work, but I have gotten two raises and a promotion since I last posted on it. I seem to be advancing pretty quickly. When one of my coworkers asked my secret, I said video games.

To clairfy, you think of each customer as an opponent (analogy here, not literally), and do your best to "defeat" them. I.E., polite, discreet, quick, and helpful. Repeat until you level up. Then, use what you've learned (AKA Experienced) to do better and better. Of course, having a high charisma score doesn't hurt either. ^_~

Well, that's it for now. And Alu, sorry I haven't been able to keep in touch very often, but been busy with the holidays, and actually went over on my cell phone minutes for the past two months, so I'm trying to build up a "roll-over buffer", to help out in case this happens again in the future.

Well, if anyone needs me, feel free to post here, or in my profile. I'll try to post more often, as I've said before, I've just been bogged down lately.
