Oh my!

You shouldn't go outside unless you are certified to handle bears. And catgirls. They can get you with but a moment's notice.

Anyway, so I found and downloaded a working copy of Immaterial and Missing Power, and I still don't know why people like it more than Scarlet Weather Rhapsody, lol. It's probably because I suck at fighting games in general, so I wouldn't know all the subtleties like the infinite combos and the cancels and all that junk. I just figure out how to hit someone and then do, and then proceed to spam the same few moves over until they're not effective anymore, then I find new moves! :D I did somehow manage to beat Story Mode (on Easy, lol) with Reimu, Marisa and Sakuya, so I've got all the characters unlocked now if I ever decide to spend any length of time with the game.

What I DID spend absurd amounts of time playing was Higurashi DAYBREAK. Geez, why did I never download this game before? Haha. It's kinda clunky and the loading times are noticably slow, but I don't think I've had that much fun with a fighting game since like 5-6 years ago when I got Super Smash Brothers Melee on my Gamecube. I got the expansion too, so there's Natsumi and Hanyuu, and all sorts of other weapons and outfits. Favorite characters so far are Rena (of course XD) with her Giant Cleaver, and she constantly talks in Psycho-mode with that weapon. Also Natsumi with her knife. I'm not quite used to her yet since she's quick, but if you connect with a full charge attack, holy crap! She tackles the victim and sits on them, then goes on a yandere stabbing spree. <3 And of course, there's Hanyuu who's always talking about cream puffs, though I don't use her much because I suck with her. Higurashi is so awesome. Maybe if I'm lucky I can find a person or two to play against while I'm at college, after I learn to not suck. XD

This week's photo didn't come out how I wanted, I suppose I need a few more weeks to level up my Photography skill again. =/


The theme this time was "Pieces of the Night", although I wasted two days on the concept because I read it wrong as "Pisces of the Night", haha. I spent some time trying out different spots and driving around the area, as well as doing slow shutterspeeds to try to get taillight blurs. Of course, that last part didn't work, I should've brought my tripod, though I didn't think of it at the time, ah well. Interestingly enough, I've learned my camera tends to make pictures kind of grainy in both very high-light and very low-light situations, so I should keep that in mind when conceptualizing for future shots. I didn't think I'd be missing the capabilities of my Mamiya so soon. XD

No sign of Dead Fantasy 5 yet, might be a day or two late because of Comic Con I suppose.

Got an idea of how much I need for Books for the fall now, though it looks like I can only get secondhand copies of my English books. The Calculus ones still aren't listed yet though, so that a bit of a pain.

Water Country USA sounds pretty rad right about now...
