Update~

Saturday, 29. March 2008

I’ve updated my theme- I felt that the one I was originally using was too dark for my tastes. Of course, I’m just borrowing Korosu’s blog theme, but I’ll get around to customizing it …. eventually.

Also, I’ve got some older works I’m going to be importing. Look forward to it?

It’s also come to my attention that I’ve been getting hits about games. dunno if that’s good or not- but I’ll postpone a post about the latest game i’ve been playing and we’ll take it from there.

On education~

Friday, 14. March 2008

AIMEE TEEGARDEN: Recent polls show a fifth of Americans can’t locate the US on a world map. Why do you think this is?

MISS TEEN SC: I personally believe that US Americans are unable to do so because, uh, some people out there in our nation don’t have maps, and I believe that our education, like such as South Africa and the Iraq, everywhere like such as, and I believe that they should — our education over here in the US should help the US — or should help South Africa and should help the Iraq and the Asian countries, so we will be able to build up our future for our children.

Don’t laugh at the girl. Well, laugh. get it out. I did. then think to yourself about the public education system that generated that response. I’ll add more when I’m not at work.

Utawarerumono~

Saturday, 1. March 2008

Haven’t posted in a while; sorry. Been playing Utawarerumono a lot.

Utawarerumono is a story centering around the masked protagonist, Hakuoro, who one day is found by a family of two girls and their grandmother in a nearby forest close to their village. He is badly injured and is soon found to have amnesia, so they take him to their home and treat him until he is well again. Hakuoro is soon accepted into their village where he stays and lives with them. The story’s genre is at first a fantasy-style story with heavy Ainu influence, though later develops science fiction themes towards the end.

Standard fare regarding the story progression, though there’s a few things I’ll mention:

  1. There are no “story” choices per se. You progress through the linear story and things happen.
  2. There are sRPG battles, which really make it worth playing over and over.
  3. Some of the ero scenes are pretty lulzworthy.

I’ll post some screencaps and may even upload a FRAPS of one of the battles. Keep in mind that I’m not so good at sRPGs, so if you see something I’m doing wrong, i’m a noob, don’t lose sleep over it. I’m not.
