Idea stolen from kittytreats .  I've recently started getting back into gaming a bit, so I figure I might as well put SOMETHING on this blog of mine.  Since I update so randomly anyway.

I've been playing Gears of War, in preparation for the sequel's release next Friday.  And I'm playing on Hardcore, because I enjoy getting my head handed to me upon a silver platter.  Well, the difficulty is really spiky in this game.  There's sections that I'll just hammer through, and then I'll get stuck on one event for a half hour or more.  Right now I just got to the beginning of Act 5, the final act.  I've been told that RAAM was hard in casual mode, so... I dunno.  The previous bosse were wicked easy, is all I can say.

I've not been playing it this week, but I grabbed a save file and booted up Star Ocean 2 in my emulator.  I'm trying to get Ashton's mastered Sword Dance for something, that'll take a while though.  I think it's 420 uses, after I actually learn it, which won't be for a while.  Ah well, at least I got Blacksmithing set up and everone's got their uber armors for the rest of the game.

That's about it for now.  I'll be picking up Tales of Vesperia very soon, I've really wanted to play it after seeing it in action.
