Taste my Fist of Fistlyness!

Sharks are pussies. The end.

So, Haruhi Season 2. If you've been watching it, then you know exactly what I'm about to say, so you can skip on to the next part. If not, well, I wouldn't recommend jumping right into it just yet. Episode 1, Bamboo Leaf Rhapsody, was fine. I enjoyed that. However, the subsequent 3 episodes have been Endless Eight. And it's not over. What. The. Crap. E8 was a decent side story, but it's quite far from the best part of Haruhi. One can sympathize with Yuki for having to live the same 2 weeks 15,498 times I suppose, but that doesn't mean the viewers want to. Heck, episodes 3 and 4 were more or less the *exact same thing* only drawn differently. Of course, KyoAni knows they can get away with it, because it's Haruhi, and people just eat it up anyway. It better be over in the next episode, else I might as well just not even bother watching again until they move onto Snow Mountain Syndrome (another part of what irks me, since SMS is one of my favorite parts from the novels =P) Since I might as well dump all my negativity right-off, I'm also not impressed with Haruhi S2's OP and ED. They're not terrible, but compared to the music the first season offered us, there's not even a comparison. Ah well, /rantoff. While Haruhi's failed my expectations, Umineko has easily surpassed them, and should serve to keep me happy this anime season. =D

While I was bored the past few days, I came across a freeMMO my sister showed me, called Neo Steam: The Shattered Continent. Of course, I have a slight weakness to MMO's (I've probably tried over 25 different ones by now), and this one had a Steampunk-ish design to it, so I figured I'd give it a go. Unfortunately, after a few days of playing, all I can see is yet another half-ass Korean WoW-clone. Like, there was way too much hand holding and speeding through the beginning to actually give me any time to immerse myself. I doubt I'll find any that can hook me the least bit until the possibilities of FFXIV and The Old Republic start oozing out more info, heh.

What has managed to hook me though is Touhou Puppet Play, aka Touhoumon. Yep, just what it sounds like. A mod of Pokémon FireRed, only instead of pokémon, the world is filled with Touhou characters, most of whom have a Chibi, normal and EX form to allow the evolutionary part. I don't think I've been hooked this long on pokémon since the Moémon mod last year, or maybe when I got Pokémon Battle Revolution for the Wii. Anyway, this is actually a whole new thing, since instead of just modded sprites like Moémon was, these are actually all different pokémon, with their own typings, movepools, locations, etc. Like Diglett's Tunnel, normally only home to Diglett and the odd Dugtrio, is now how to the entire cast of Subterranian Animism save Kisume. Trainers are harder too, Brock was royally kicking my arse the first couple times I fought him. Currently I've gotten to Celadon with my party ~Lv30 as Flandre, Orin, Marisa, Alice, Nitori, and Tenshi as my HM bitch lol. Don't worry, she likes it. XD I hope the english group handling this manages to make more headway or something, last I heard some of the things that were being added in the original JP game were stuff like splitting Special and Physical attacks like in D/P, access to the whole Johto area, and even maybe a whole new Touhoumon game world (hopefully it'll end up being a lot better than your average fanbrew Pokémon, not that that's hard, lol)

Anyway, back to my crazy wild extreme to the maxx house party while the 'rents are away for several days. *flashlight rave*
