AWWWW YEAAAAAH Hilde was confirmed for Soul Calibur V. \o\ \o/ /o/ Even more exciting is that her basic stats were released and omg. omg. PLZ TO BE WANTING TO KNOW WHO THE DADDY IS, NAMCO.
Even more awesome is that she's now an exiled princess on the run as a mercenary. In Siegfried's mercenary group. klsdjlkfsjkldjfsdfs I HAVE NO WORDS FOR THIS. >3< Totes time for a canon update for the muse, come next year. 8D
Dead Space. After finishing DS2, I promptly went to DS1, and wtf I still say it's scarier. 8| It takes much cheaper opportunity for scares, k, and I've easily jumped out of my skin and yelped/screamed twice as much as I did in DS2, and I'm a little more than halfway through the game. ._.
All the same, it's... much easier, gameplay-wise. After watching my dad fight tooth and nail through it, I was dreading some parts, but I've blown through it pretty quickly. I've only died once, and that was a cheap shot -- one of those wall-hanging jackasses lopped my head off DESPITE that I had full health, because I was trying to get close enough to blast it with my Force Gun. Fffffffff.
ALL IN ALL, though, I've been in my old school Resident Evil frame of mind since the beginning: conserve health, conserve ammo, run from unnecessary battles, and if you take too much damage in a fight, reload from the last save point as long as it's not super far back. That's probably the only reason I've done well, ha. My dad, however, who never had the patience for the old school RE games, is thoroughly bugged by my playing style. |D Every time he catches a glimpse of my safe box, it's "WHAT THE HELL WHY DO YOU HAVE SO MUCH HEALTH AND AMMO? YOU ARE HOARDING THEM. YOU ARE A HOARDER. IF YOU DON'T NEED THEM, SELL THEM AND BUY NODES AND UPGRADE YOUR WEAPONS. :|"
Such a backseat gamer, I don't even. And my response was a defensive "NO you always save health! And you always only carry ONE with you, unless you're going into a big boss fight! And you never know, I may need that ammo!" Regardless, whenever he sees me playing the game, he just shakes his head and mutters, "Hoarder."
One big circle. XD
Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions. I. Am so determined to get 100% on this thing. As of now, I only need four more Achievements: get through a Noir level without triggering a single alarm, and get Platinum ratings on four, eight, and twelve levels.
And since I am completely anal about not using walkthroughs or cheats, I seriously went and -- literally -- crawled through every effing stage, multiple times, to find all those hidden spiders. Aaaall 84 of them. B| But it was worth it because AW YEAH IRON SPIDER ALTERNATE OUTFIT, BABY~
Resident Evil: The Mercenaries 3D. I JUST FOUND THE MOST AWESOME THING. If you give Chris the Lightning perk and go to the RE4 village (where the enemies have ANNOYINGLY high health), and then either Uppercut or Straight a guy. If he lands in the middle of more guys, it'll stun them, and you can physically attack them, too -- and in turn they can stun MORE guys, and you CAN SERIOUSLY GO AROUND DOING NOTHING BUT PUNCHING THINGS. 8DDDDDD It. Was so beautiful. I was laughing maniacally all the while, but GOD that was just so awesome. <33333
Resident Evil 5. As I do moar co-op with my friend -- lmao I LOVE seeing people's first reactions to this game. X'D ESPECIALLY THE PART WITH THE ALLIGATORS. Which I do not warn them about. B3 We have yet to hit the TWO. ON TWO. fight, but when we do, I'm just gonna stand back and see what he does. And not offer any insight whatsoever. And see how long it takes him to deduce the "seven minutes" thing.
Also. Another detail I either never noticed or forgot about: in the first cutscene with Wesker and Excella, lmao wtfffffff when she says, "Oh, I have my eyes set on something much bigger," I swear it looks like she's looking towards his crotch.
Ahahaha oh God why no. Writing/RPing her creepy factor is one thing; seeing it is another.
Also, klsjdklfsdfs I love the male-to-female interactions in this game. :'D The guys always treat the girls well except for Wesker, who beats/kills them, and Irons, the sick rapist, but this game's just <33333. I'm considering taking up a count of how many times Chris A) takes Sheva's hand to help her on/off/across something and B) puts himself over or in front of her. Add that to how gentle Josh was being with Jill when he helped her up/half-carried her in DE and I'm just shamelessly all, "...awww. Such good men, you guys. ♥"
Yeah, I'm ttly old school. Bite me.
Resident Evil: Deadly Silence. MY GOD WHY CAN I NOT SUCK AT CHRIS' SIDE??? DDDDX THIS IS SO EFFING HARD HIS STAMINA SUCKS THEY MUST'VE TOTALLY REVAMPED THAT IN THE REMAKE BUT FFFF EVEN CLAIRE HAD BETTER RESISTANCE THAN THAT BUT IT DOESN'T HELP THAT YOU GET POSITIVELY RAPED WHEN THERE'S MORE THAN ONE ENEMY IN THE ROOM MY GOD. B|
Barring that... I'm actually getting somewhere, at least. :D Finally. And my God, I thought I did a lot of backtracking in the REmake, but ffffffffffff it is just CONSTANT because Chris only gets six item slots which is really ridiculous when you think about it, because Jill gets eight despite that Chris is the Big Strong Man who should be able to carry more stuff just because he's a Big Strong Man PLUS he has that vest with all the extra pockets. :|
The wonderfully atrocious voice-acting aside, I am getting a kick out of this experience. When I came across Richard, I immediately had a flashback of Jill's side of the story, which was
Jill: RICHARD!! /uses mad CPR skillz!
Richard: /LIVES just long enough to be useful
So I naturally thought it'd go the same way with Chris, but fffffff no.
Chris: *kneels over Richard* It's Richard from Bravo Team!! ... *stands up again*
Richard: /DED
Me: ...Uh. Wtf, Chris. CPR the poor man. *clicks again*
Chris: *kneels over Richard* .......... *takes his ammo, stands back up*
Me: ...
LMAO WAY TO BE HELPFUL, CHRIS. Granted, Richard was already dead, but still. It's kinda like, "...wow. Between this, picking locks, having more item space, and being able to mix chemicals, Jill is infinitely more useful than you." And then I found Kenneth shortly after, which was
Chris: It's Kenneth from Bravo Team! He's merely a shadow of his former self...
Me: *clicks*
Chris: *kneels over Kenneth* .......... *takes his ammo, stands back up*
Me: ...
And then I completed it by blowing Forrest's head off and taking the ammunition he was guarding, too. I found this all morbidly hilarious and couldn't stop laughing.
Rebecca sounds like she's constantly trying not to giggle, and wtf Chris sounds older than Wesker. And like a creeper. So, in effect, he sounds older and creepier than Wesker. This is wrong.
And JEE, way to not sound disappointed, Wesker: "Chris! ........You're alive?!" And lol, Chris. "Oh. Well, it's not YOUR fault that Jill's missing!"
Now stfu and go find those last two MO disks.
And RE: Nemesis (...ahaha pun not intended) in ~ULTIMATE MvC3~: yeah, he looks awesome. No, I am not convinced anymore than before to buy this stupid thing. >|
AND, I recently saw that one of Spidey's new alternate costumes
is a GD Antivenom color.
Antivenom.
...
H-How completely awesome and unfair is that. I half-figured they'd give him his FRICKIN' COOL Freedom Foundation ensemble, but this is just as much of a smack to the face.
I hate you, Capcom. The bonus characters were one insult. The addition of two more different-model outfits for everyone was another. As were the added stages, fixed glitches, and better online mode.
BUT THIS -- HOW DARE YOU. SPIDEY IS THE NUMBER EFFING ONE WAY TO BREAK MY HEART, AND YOU HAVE DONE IT.
AUUUUGHHHHH.
I HOPE YOU ARE HAPPY, YOU GREEDY, MONOPOLIZING PIGS.
SCREW YOU. I WILL NOT BE IN LINE FOR MVC4, EITHER, I TELL YOU WHAT.
Go ahead, give Jill her B.S.A.A. outfit. See if I care. I WILL NOT.
Uhhhh what else. The last few Naruto chapters have been epic. I have found me a new 4-man BroTP, as![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
alory_shannon would say. |D
I just completed book #11 of The Dresden Files, and I just reserved book #12 at the library -- but much to my dismay, I found out that the latest book, #13, has a waiting list of 38 people.
;3;
And I am sorely lacking in the funds necessary to just go out and buy a hardcover book atm, so obvs I am doomed to live in suspense.

Uhhhh what else. The last few Naruto chapters have been epic. I have found me a new 4-man BroTP, as
alory_shannon would say. |DI just completed book #11 of The Dresden Files, and I just reserved book #12 at the library -- but much to my dismay, I found out that the latest book, #13, has a waiting list of 38 people.
;3;
And I am sorely lacking in the funds necessary to just go out and buy a hardcover book atm, so obvs I am doomed to live in suspense.
TL;DR
Also, if your library system has ANY of them as books-on-disc, I would VERY much suggest giving them a listen. James Marsters (Spike from Buffy!) is the reader, and he does an AMAZING job. Honestly, I can't abide BODs most of the time, but those ones...I adore those ones, partly because I've read the story already, yes, but also partly because his vocal work is incredible. ...And it might be worth giving a few of them a re-listen if you're going to be playing Lara, yeeees~? 'B3
So yeah, there's plenty of good stuff in the Dresden-verse to keep you occupied while you wait for your turn with book #13. :Db
And some of us had to wait A YEAR AND A HALF after that terrible cliffhanger so while I *do* sympathize somewhat...........part of me still growls out a STFU, K. lol(...How many copies are in the system, BTW? That's another important factor to take into account when considering how long you'll have to wait...if there's 10+ it really might not be all that long.)
You know I love them deers
And they DO have the CDs! And since I commute 2 hours total each weekday, I could listen to them in the car, couldn't I...
LMAO how awkward if my dad happened to borrow my car and it was still playing..........I do not retract my previous anti-enabler comments. B|But AWESOME, yes, thank you! I shall entertain myself thus.
HAHA YEAAAAH, I. Have no room to whine, lol. But I'm a quick reader, and I am so not above parking myself in B&N for a few hours to just read the book there. |DJust checked, and there are actually seven copies total, so yeah, it may not be such a long wait.
btw I'm more than halfway through Changes, and WTF IT IS DEPRESSING AND FRUSTRATING. D8
no subject
Ahem, well, anyway...
Does your library to InterLibrary Loans? Because the Charlotte system totes has that book. Oho, no need to retract it~ :3
HOW FAR ARE YOU NOW DID YOU FINISH YET ISN'T IT AMAZING
no subject
Ohh, I'll have to check. The website is a PAIN and I hate going to it because the search engine is FAIL half the time and it randomly logs me out and then acts like it isn't working and then puts my text in the wrong spot and UGH. /tl;dr YEAH I'll have to check that out.
HAHAHA YOU KNOW, towards the end-ish of the book, I told my sister, "I already know this ends on a cliffhanger, and everything's going way too smoothly and happily now. ...Haha, maybe it's like the episode of Criminal Minds, where everything was good and happy and Hotch goes home and then OH NO DERANGED GUNMAN IN HIS HOUSE WAS HE SHOT?" Note that I was JOKING.
...and then I reached the end and just. Headdesked for an hour.
BUT YEAH OMG WTF D8
no subject
AND THE NEXT BOOK IS--AND ENDS--EVEN MORE AMAZINGLY. SERIOUSLY, THE LAST 30 PAGES OR SO ARE JUST.........AWESOME AND WONDERFUL AND YES YES YES. And I sort-of guessed What Really Happened, and also I was SO, SO HAPPY with where Father Forthill placed little Maggie--it was EXACTLY what I had so badly wanted to happen and just...yes. GOOD SHOW, MR. BUTCHER. ENDLESS LESS-THAN-THREES FOR YOU, SIR!
