Tale

A new Utawarerumono game? Adult version? XD No, it's console only, so all ages. And the third game is coming out for NA in September.

Utawarerumono: Mask of Deception I actually spelled that right on the first try this time! I really like two characters from the hour and I half I got in yesterday. If you see anyone bill this as an SRPG, just know they're lying to you. It's a visual novel first and foremost. I'm tempted to impulse buy that Starcrawlers as Melkathi is making a great argument for it, but my dance card is full.

I platinumed Nier: Automata. I still have some DLC challenges to do, so I didn't delete the save for a second time. Not committing to anything since I have Utawarerumono: Mask of Deception arriving tomorrow.

Alien Covenant If you're at all interested, then you should absolutely watch Prometheus a second time instead. This movie made me appreciate Prometheus. Where Prometheus was an interesting film done poorly, this was a mediocre film done okay. It is not the Alien prequel you've been wanting, it might be the prequel to that movie, but only if Scott is attached as Executive Producer.

Sorry, but I have bad news for you. https://www.gog.com/game/legend_of_heroes_trails_in_the_sky_the_3rd_the That coming out so recently is why those two games are so high on the list.

I finished Horizon Zero Dawn yesterday. I think the story was simply brilliant, but I apparently have no tolerance for these open world games anymore. I gave up on a bunch of the menial junk quests and collectibles about halfway through and rushed the story. And I still got tired of listening to the characters blather about their silly sundoms and lost loves. Also I need an intervention. The only question is exactly what kind. This list goes to 166.

I just want to know what exactly happened to cause C&C4. It's one of those things that everyone had to know better than to release, but there it was.

Telltale's Game of Thrones is bad. I wanted to say it's just meh, but realized that's far too lenient. It's the game that showcases just how bad Telltale's engine is with none of the greatness of their other titles to justify putting up with it. It tries to do a version of Game of Thrones opening credits and it's laughably bad. Like CG from the early 90s.

Bioware Montreal isn't EA-acquired.

Are we posting pictures of cats!?! When people ask me what I do, I tell them I'm a professional cat pillow. Don't ask me why it's upside down. The board is doing that.

Finished Persona 5. Back to Horizon.

I guess I'm playing Learn Japanese To Survive: Hiragana Battle! I'm not surprised that this is clearly an RPG maker game, I'm just surprised at how low effort the game is. Still, edutainment is edutainment. And it's helping shore up the learning from my phone app teaching Hiragana. Came out with a sequel for Katakana last week. Looks promising and has good reviews. I just hope they've improved the art and writing. It looks like they have from the store page, with visual novel style full screen CGs. The base concept is absurd and I don't mind that, but the dialogue is clunky and most characters are a bit too cliche. Shoring that up would be fantastic.

Is it going to be more like 1 or 2? Story driven or a mindless loot-fest? I have to say that I hated 2.

I got some good news today. I'm going to live! It's good news for me, anyway, the rest of you can make up your own minds and then keep it to yourselves. It's been an anxiety on my mind for the past 8 months if they would find something. They have found a few things, in fact, but none of them likely to kill me anytime too terribly soon. I got the word that the scariest one isn't a big deal today. This has been terrible timing, too. Just imagine if the news had been the other way, trying to share that news with family while they're already dealing with stuff.

I can imagine an existing role he could have filled too, would have been pretty great.

Did you get [E]? You absolutely need to get [E]. I wish that someway, somehow That I can save every one of us But the truth is that I'm only one girl I'm itching to give that game a full second playthrough something fierce. But I also don't want to let my backlogs grow...

My paternal grandfather has been diagnosed with cancer. It's far along and there's not much time left. My sister still struggles with our maternal grandmother's passing last year, this won't be good for her. My father and paternal grandmother I can only imagine. I'm worried about those three the most in this.

I wouldn't call it pseudo poetry, no.

Still Persona 5. I think I'm in the final stretch, but my interest is waning, so I'm splitting my time into a couple visual novels that I won't mention here.

3rd writing group meeting last night. And really the first time I've let someone else see my work. Comments were interesting. Almost entirely positive, which I'm unhappy about because it doesn't help me figure out how to improve. The one guy who didn't already know what genre I'm working in expressed meaninglessly generic expectations, where the other three who did know what genre might have been a little too on the nose for how early this section was. I don't know if I'm being too obvious or too subtle.

Did you see the [E]nd?

Anyone want a 25% off Torment: Tides of Numenera Steam coupon? PM me.

Dang, I need to get that too.

http://store.steampowered.com/app/459220/ Finally, all you PC only gamers will be able to play the only game that has me on the credit roll that's not as a Kickstarter Backer or for moderating these boards. And maybe I'll finally get around to playing a release copy.

If you want an easy out and you're called to a small town, just be the last to arrive. This was a small courtroom only hearing a single trial today, they ordered us by when we came in. And both times I've hit selection, they just went down the list. People at front are most likely.
