YAY! They're here....

I hate waiting. Waiting for books, waiting for games, waiting for gaming consoles. And some other stuff I hate waiting for. So guess whether or not I got happy when they arrived, all at the same time....

Friday last: Ni no Kuni! Yes! Finally  I've been waiting since this released in Japan in... October was it? I've started to play, and it's like playing a Ghibli film.... neat. For a couple of seconds there, i was a bit worried. I couldn't find the language setting. But, found it! I want Japanese. Now, I don't doubt the dub is great, it's Ghibli after all.... Well, I'll have fun.


Yesterday: New phone! Yay! I've had my last phone since.... ever.... old foldable Samsung thingy. Now; Xperia U! Yay! I'm pleased. I'm a widget-nut, so believe me when I say I downloaded at least 10 in less than an hour.
USB2SATA. I needed this. I have two SATA HDDs lying about with things to rescue. Gotta do that today....
BOOKS!!!! I love books.... as you know.....So last night i tried to cram Star Wars The Old Republic Revan, Luck in the shadows, Loveless volume 1 and 2 and The Hammer and the Blade into my already TWICE filled book cases. Ok, maybe not twice, but I have put maybe half my books in the cellar once. I try to put away at least one book every year =P.

Hmm. lets see.....

SWTOR Revan. Yeah, couldn't really keep my fingers away from this one. I LOVE the old Republic. Not the game, but the concept. Love the game, too.... *confessed*. What I really loved was the old video game Knights of the Old Republic. (*Star Wars fan girl drool*...... *Bioware fan girl death*.....  *Raphael Sbarge/Carth Onasi fan girl megadeath*....) I wanted it from the moment I saw it. Although, now I have a bit of a conundrum on my hands. There are some other books in this series. Do I need to read them before Revan? I don't know.....





Luck in the shadows is actually NOT the book I wanted to read. What I wanted to read was Casket of Souls. Only I found out that it was nr 8 in the Nightrunner series. So first, before I get to Casket of souls i have to read the other 7 books, starting with this. But I still look forward to reading the whole series. Spies and wars and gay guys and stuff. What could be better.

(Nice picture, eh? Or not.... Courtesy of me not really knowing my phone yet....)





Loveless vol. 1+2. I love Loveless. I saw the animé, and then I fell into arguments on whether or not it's shota. It's not shota, at least not the animé. Yes, Ritsoka is a teenager and Soubi is at least somewhat adult (is he 18, is he 25? The animé doesn't tell), but at least the animé give a nice clear line as to when teenagers are considered "adult enough". Their ears fall off. That is, their cat/dog/whatever ears on top of their heads. Their human ears stay intact (thank god, otherwise it would be weird.) In the animé, Ritsokas ears fall off in.... what, the second episode? So there, not shota.....

(Another splendid picture.....)



The Hammer and the Blade. Saw this on sale same time I saw Casket of souls. I felt it was a must-have. I love fantasy  I love epic fantasy, I love sword and sorcery....And, oh.... did I say I love yaoi?








These four books go up on top on my "currently reading" list, pushing some others down.... tooo baaaad....


Happy reading to me =) I hope I then get to rescue my Tokyo vampire thingy......

PAX update.... kinda late... very small...

Looking back at PAX Prime, I know one thing for sure.... I should have been there. Looking at PAX from a distance, it's not all that fun. Must be a blast to be there, though. Lots of cos-play, lots of events and tournaments and stuff... but not all that much news. I will keep an eye at some games that showed up, even if it wasn't their first appearance. Games I will (keep) looking forward to, that showed up at PAX Prime: Pikmin 3 (I looooved Pikmin), Okami HD, Ni no Kuni; Wrath of the White Witch, (looks really fun), New Super Mario Bros. U (who doesn't like Mario?), Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII (Final Fantasy meets LoZ: Majoras Mask, what can go wrong?), Guardians of Middle Earth (this is that kind of games that both entices me and scares me at the same time, we'll see what happens with it), Epic Mickey: Power of Two (Still haven't played Epic Mickey, I have to buy it when I can afford it), DMC: Devil May Cry (I love Dante.....), and Assassin's Creed 3 (this I've saved money for).

All in all, PAX is not E3, and you should probably be there to fully enjoy it. Next up: Tokyo Game Show on September 20th. Hopefully, we get some FFvXIII news, as they promised. I think the big news is that it's been pushed to the next-gen consoles. If we get no news on it I'm giving up, and keep writing yaoi fanfic on it... News on Lightning Returns is a given, or I will wonder what the hell they are doing at the Square Enix HQ...
