Nintendo's new console and misc. rambles

Greeting all!

I have made some fancy shmancy changes to my blog. Now all I need is a new border. I'm working on it! I'm making it myself! (gotta put these photoshop skills into action).

GOOD NEWS!! Nintendo is in progress on making a new system! So happy! Nothing is revealed yet, except there are rumors that the controller will have a touch screen on it. AMAZING! How awesome is that?! E3 is going to be great. I can feel it. (don't let us down Nintendo!)

So why do I always blog late at night? I think I have more motivation to do it or something. Well, who cares. At least I'm doing it.
So I purchased my cosplay outfit today (lame cuz I don't make them, I know) and I'm super excited now! I just need a whip and I'll be good! I'm going as Franziska Von Karma from the Phoenix Wright series. Here be a picture of her...


So you know how I was going on about Teen Titans in the last post? Well, I sorta bought the first season on Amazon (since NO PLACES SELL IT ANYMORE!! WTH?!) I got it for $8! Come on now, thats pretty awesome! So I got it yesterday, and I'm almost done watching all 13 episodes... obsessed? I think YES! I'm actually in the process of buying the second season right now. (I literally have amazon open xD)

Okay. Video games. I need to make progress! I'm been really busy guys.... I mean REALLY busy. I'm slammed with projects and studies since the semester is almost over, and on top of that I work everyday of the week except Thursdays. Life sucks. I have no time to do hardly anything. I go to school, come home and work on homework, then go to work, come home and work on more homework....then sleep. UGHHH!!! >:( I'm also getting over a cold so that makes everything 10x worse....
But I am being trained to wait tables so I'm happy about that! :D
Well, unfortunately, no news on video games. I still haven't picked up Pokemon for a while. I'm thinking about starting up DQ8 any second now.

However, there is some news on gaming... Portal 2! Soooo good! Feels just as good as the old one. Not very far in it, but my brother is making progress!

I think I'm going to purchase a 3DS in June. Then I can play Zelda OoT. Good idea? I think so.

I'm out of things to blog about. This entry was super random and weird. Sorry guys. Next entry will be better. I'll talk about upcoming games and stuffzzz. But for now, I think I'll call this a post. I'm going to watch more Teen Titans. Good night all!

I'm a DC comic girl.

Hello fellow (2) followers! How be you!? I'm back!
So I know what your thinking... "why are you talking about comics on a video game blog!?" Now, now, all is well. I will get to that soon. But for now, let's talk gaming!

Been playing Pokemon Black and I have yet to finish it! (shame on me). I am, however, at the 8th gym, but I need more training to do! My poor Cubchoo can't handle the mighty dragons. *sniffles* I've also been super busy with school and work so my video gaming has been on hiatus. (it really sucks being a college student). The semester is almost done, which means more games! Yay! But also means work too. I am taking a summer class this year. Might as well get it out of the way. It's math too.... yuck! However, I shouldn't be TOO busy this summer...

Along with Pokemon I am playing Dragon Quest 8. Which has also been paused due to Pokemon and life. *sigh* I just can't win can I? I need a good month dedicated to nothing but video games! Wouldn't that be wonderful.
I'm about 16 hours or so into DQ8, but I still have a long, long ways to go still. (I literally just got the world map and haven't even explored half of it yet.) Oh boy. But, I plan to finish it by August! That is my goal! Then I can get a move on my other DQ games. (I have about 5 of them) Love Dragon Quest. It's probably my favorite series, along with Zelda that is! Oh what do I know?! I can't pick a favorite game to save my life!

Got exciting news! A new Harvest Moon game has been announced for the 3DS and the DS! Tale of Two Towns! You basically have 2 different lives! Sounds so awesome! Click here for more info!

I'm so pumped! I love Harvest Moon games! They're so addicting and fun!
Other good news, Cave Story for 3DS on June 28th!!!! ZOMG!! LOVE CAVE STORY!! If you haven't played it, do so now! It's originally a free online game, but I recommend purchasing it on DSi Ware or Wii ware! Better gaming experience! I am so happy for this! This is a great way for more people to play this awesome game! Unfortunately I have yet to beat it, but I'm right at the end! My brother just finished it, and he loved it! ^^

Oh, and if your wondering.... I have not purchased a 3DS yet. *cries* I will soon though! I just need more money..and time! O_o

So, about this DC comic thing.... I'm not gonna lie, I love comics. (even though I own like 2). My dork meter just went up didn't it?
HUGE Batman fan. I had a Batman cupcake at my graduation party! Don't believe me? Here's a picture!

(Holy blonde hair Batman!) Did that for Riza Hawkeye cosplay! xD
Aww yeah! Thats right yo! xD
I literally just got done watching Batman Begins! Fantastic movie may I say? Christian Bale is my fav! :D Next movie is gonna be sweet! Midnight showing for that fo sho!
So, this whole comic book phase started with Teen Titans. I LOVE TT! I won't lie though, the cartoon got me started. I watched the series premier when I was in 6th grade! 12 years old! Can't believe it! The show ended my freshmen year in high school! I really don't know why they never made season 6. The show was so popular! Very sad.... However, last summer they started showing it on Boomerang every weeknight at 10:30, followed by The Batman! What better combination is there!? They also started airing it again on Cartoonnetwork for a good period of time, but now it's off on both stations! D: I'm super sad! I just started getting back into it! Grrr... (can never be too old for the cartoons you love, eh!?)

Alright, sorry for the long blog post. But I had lots to talk about! Next time I'll keep it shorter. And I'm still considering vlogging, but we'll see how this goes first. Anyway, I should go to bed. It's almost 1:00am, and I have class in the morning...eww.
But before I go, here's just a list of games I need to start/finish.

-Pokemon Black
-DQ8
-DQ4
-DQ5
-DQ6
-Chrono Trigger
-999 (9 hours, 9 persons, 9 doors)
-Ace Attorney: Miles Edgeworth Investigations
-Super Princess Peach (which I will be purchasing soon!)

Thats all I'll list for now. Good night all! Also, be expecting some fancy shmancy changes to my blog. I'm not crazy about this theme.... -_-'

Pray for Japan...

Yeah, yeah. I know it's been yet another long break from my blogging, but I really wanted to dedicate this one for Japan. Please send your thought and prayers to them. They are going through a tragic time. I pray that all will end soon! Japan is such a beautiful country. It is my life long dream to go there. You are in our thoughts and prayers! xoxoxo

On a happier note, I have a Twitter! Follow me! I'm way more active on there than here! Also, I'm thinking about starting a Vlog, but still debating. It will be mainly about video games and all that geeky stuff. xD

I have a bad habit..

...OF NOT BLOGGING MORE!! I really do love blogging....seriously, I do! But I always forget about it >_< I'm ashamed!
Ughhh.... so stuff has happened. Mainly bad stuff but I'm over it now. I'm too old for this immaturity BS... -_-'

I LOVE my new college! Close to home, and cheap! Plus my classes are awesome! Except for anatomy..... yuck. I really don't like that stuff. But graphic design is amazing! So much to do! :o
Not to mention many people who love anime and video games like me! Easier to click with that crowd! xD

So I kinda have a slight obsession..with Harvest Moon Animal Parade for the Wii. Don't play it. If you do, you'll devote your soul to that game and never leave the house for weeks, maybe even months. It's worse than a drug... much worse. This drug is incurable. Play with caution..
Okay, so I'm exaggerating a little... okay maybe a lot, but I am being honest! I can't STOP PLAYING! I LOVE IT! For those whom have never played a Harvest Moon game before; You have a farm that you take care of, buy crops and plant them, raise and take care of animals (wide variety of livestock to choose from), you get married, have children, cook, mine, work, make money.... it's the life of a country bumpkin! AMAZING! I've been wasting my days playing that.

I also just got done playing a game called Ghost Trick! This just came out a few weeks ago, and it was FANTASTIC! This game was made by Takumi. (same guy who made the Ace Attorney games) He's brilliant! I officially love him! (Well I kinda have for a while xD) I seriously recommend yo!

Alright, I'm going to go to bed now. I has schools tomorrowssss. D: I PROMISE to blog more....I HOPE!

**I need to stop starting sentences with the word, 'but'. Bad habit to get into.

I have completed the Phoenix Wright Trilogy!

Wow! I am a bundle of mixed emotions right now! After completing this game, I feel like I should talk about some of my experiences with it!
Al righty then! So what was so great about this series? EVERYTHING! The cases, the characters, the plot. Everything was absolutely brilliant! I wouldn't hesitate to play it all over again! Out of all three, I'd have to say the second one is my favorite. Don't get me wrong. I loved all three immensely, but there was a something about the second one I really enjoyed. The third one is definitely a close tie with the second one since it was so suspenseful and epic! However, the ending was somewhat melancholy to me since I know it is the last of the Phoenix Wright games.... that is, until Layton vs. Wright was announced!

I know these games have been out for a long time, but unfortunately, I wasn't aware of them until about 2 years ago. (yes, it took me a while to complete these since I had a temporary hiatus from the game due to unknown reasons) I am very happy to have played these awesome games! I truly think anyone who plays them will enjoy it just as much as I did! The characters have lots of charm, and the cases have great stories! This game, however, isn't all that easy. You have to examine all your evidence carefully so that you present the correct ones during court. I have to admit I was found looking up answers on random occasions when I was really stuck. I never like following walkthroughs, but I was sorta desperate! I got through the games all in one piece in the end!

Now about this Apollo guy...
Yes, yes, I will be playing Apollo Justice, along with the Miles Edgworth Investigations! Hopefully I can enjoy these games as much as the Phoenix Wright Trilogy! I'm sure I will though.

I could go on and on, but I think I would drag this on for too long. Haha.
I recommend these games to anyone. I'm sure you all can enjoy these, but I'm sure most of you have already played them. (especially since I started kinda late xD)
Well anyway. This was my short-but-sweet review for the Phoenix Wright games. Definitely a new favorite of mine! :D

Phoenix Wright addict.

Oh boy... I cannot stop playing these games! I started playing the first one about a year or two ago, and fell in love with it instantaneously. After I beat the first one, I moved onto the second one: Justice for all. Funny story about this though. I got through about half of the game, and then I suddenly stopped. Right in the middle of a case too! (Each game holds about 5 cases, each with different stories) I really don't know why I abruptly stopped. Maybe I got into an anime or something? I don't know. I know I never lost intrest in them though, because they are amazing games!
Anyway, I just started it up back in September. I was able to beat the second one, but I had much help from gamefaqs since I kinda forgot the story :/ But I got addicted to it again real quick! I think what made me go back to it was when i heard about the Professor Layton vs. Phoenix Wright game to come out on the 3DS! AHHH!! CAN'T WAIT!!!! >_< Being a huge fan of both Layton and Wright, I couldn't think of a better combination! :D
So the second game's final trial was fantastic! Very suspenseful! I started the 3rd one: Trials and Tribulations about a month ago and cannot stop! So far the second one is my favorite, but this one is catching up! It's way more epic! Too epic that I almost can't take it! XD Currently I am on the final case and it is CRAZY! I am forcing myself to stay away from it for at least a day. It's really driving me nuts! (Does this happen to anyone else? I get really into game sometimes xD)

So yes, I am a Phoenix Wright addict. This game is actually the last for the Phoenix Wright series. They have other Ace Attorney games, but the main character is some dude named Apollo Justice. Ehhh.... not too sure about him >_< But I will play it regardless!

So thats been my life for the past few days! xD I also finished up some Christmas shopping and hung with me BFF! Lotso fun!

For the rest of the night, I am going to watch anime! Just to take my mind off the craziness Phoenix Wright gave me.... -_-'
I wish you all a good night! I'll be blogging again real soon! :D
