Updates, and DS gaming spree
Sorry I haven't been around; haven't had too many opportunities to be online lately... I also haven't felt like writing as of late, so I've been finishing various games in hopes of inspiring myself. :P
Anyways, I finished playing Pokemon Soul Silver a while back, and was reminded how much I enjoyed the original game. :) It almost makes me want to finish Platinum (although the reason I liked SS so much is because it's so much simpler than the newer Pokemon games >.>).
Also finished up the Ace Attorney series recently; finally played the last case of the first Phoenix Wright game, played through Trials and Tribulations, then Apollo Justice (not to mention finished the Edgeworth game a while back).
Overall, I thought T&T was a nice finale to the Phoenix saga; I was also amused by the CSI-like additions to the series (fingerprinting, luminol etc.), and was somewhat annoyed at the cliffhanger ending to Apollo Justice (Damn loose ends... Want sequel soon! XP).
AJ also suffered from a little too much hand-holding through the trials early on, which made Apollo seem somewhat incompetent. :/ And as much as I wanted to like Klavier, his character didn't impress me that much (then again, the only prosecutor I really seem to like is Edgeworth; I never cared for Francizka or Godot).
Which reminds me, I'd have to say my favourite female sidekick of the series so far is from Edgeworth's game; namely, Kay Faraday, though I'm not quite so sure why... Maya always annoyed me, since she comes off as way too immature for her age. :/ Trucy is okay, and so is Ema (although Ema lost some points from me by being so unhelpful early on in AJ; it was understandable, but still annoying XP).
In other gaming news, I hear there's a remake of FE3 coming out; ironic, since I was thinking of trying out FE11 again (as you might of noticed, I've been on a game finishing streak lately ;P).
Unfortunately, all this gaming still hasn't inspired me to write... Bah. XP (There's a few short stories that I want to finish off, but in my uninspired state, I'm afraid I'll rush and half-ass it >.>). I've written down the outline for one original story idea recently (although original story ideas for me usually mean a rewrite of an existing fairy tale or the like :/).
Anyways, I'm off to a relative's wedding this weekend; maybe I'll feel like writing more after that... Also, I need to remind myself about the pile of cat photos I've been meaning to post; the two visitor kitties have been back with their owner for a while now, but their pictures (and shed fur) still remain. ;)
