Why hello thar!

Today is my first day back in the office, apparently yesterday was a public holiday so we had a 3 day long weekend which is always good if we didn't have any deadlines on university placements blech stupid students. Anyway for the last three days I played FF12, Sengoku Musou 2, MGS 3: subsistance, ikusagami and "finished" we love Katamari well mostly that anyway, I did go out for a bit though but it was much less interesting than staying in and playing games, too bad my other job doesn't pay as much or else I'd drop this one and just translate comics for a living, that way it cuts down the time gap between being at work and game time, no wasted time getting caught in traffic.

FF12 was fun as always, ground about 6 levels up between 6 characters, the gambit system makes it easier though since you don't really do much but walk now and no random encounters just good old mob hunting, the bad (or good depending on how you lok at it) thing about FF12 is by the end of the game your characters will be able to do pretty much the same things, while the license board gves you freedom to shape how each cahacter will be in the end you'll be filling that board and everyone can an all powerfull entity.

Sengoku musou 2 is actually betetr than the last one, more releveant historical characters so bye bye kunoichi, bye bye fatass Goemon, Hello Mitsunari Ishida. Everyone who studies Japanese history knows that when you have Mitsunari and Tokugawa you get....Sekigahara so I was happy but the Kotaro Fuuma and Hattori Hanzou face off was weak, do they really need to put these ninjas in? and ofcourse to not upset the female audience they added more female characters like nene (Toyotomi's wife) why not, they had ina and noh there before. as for teh story, it seems like koei is going for the "slightly more historicaly accurate" since DW5 (in DW5 Zhuge liang ended up dead but not ater whooping Yi's ass) unless you chose the "loosing" side and won, like itsunari winning Sekigahara and everyone received the compulsory facelift. Almost forgot they revamp the whole charater growth system and you can actually buy 15 horses, yeah it's all buy or upgrade at the shop now even "get better weapons easier" skill is buyable and teh weapons are upgradeable at the shop, I just wonder of Lu Bu still lives on the 100th floor.

MGS3, still good, better actually, and I still suck.

Ikusagami is actually a pretty good game but like everything by Genki, the FMV is awful. the game itself is actuallly fun but gets harder than koei's musou series.

But that was that, from now to the next few weeks, maybe even a month or more I'll be really busy wiith student counseling and handling university placements. To be honset I'd rather be doing proper student counseling rather than giving advice on which university these kids will go to, too bad I don't have the psyc Phd to do it.
