Hey, wow, I remembered my password for this place XD  If you want to know, here's a hint - it's number 47 on my list of 3012 passwords =P  OK, that's an exaggeration, but I do have way too many to remember which one goes where for what XD  What to say here...  Rockman.EXE 5: Team of Blues.  It's awesome.  Definitely worth picking up when it hits the states.  Team of Colonel will probably be just as good, but seeing as how it won't be out at all even in Japan for another few weeks, we have yet to see.  Also, I dropped by an old Rockman series message board I used to frequent, dropped a few jaws to say the least XD  Mostly came to report my first few hours of EXE 5, might go back more often, I miss those losers =P

In (possibly) more relevant news to people who frequent the lounge, I just picked up the first season of The Brak Show on DVD, so if anyone has an aversion to retarded humor, they may wish to bring weapons to beat me about with XD  Otherwise, I'll either be bringing that, Slayers, or Outlaw Star interchangably to educate certain peoples in the ways of culture >.>  Requests will be taken insofar as I can fulfill them.

In other gaming news, I recently started replaying a Link to the Past, this time trying out the GBA remake.  Either the game got a lot easier in the remake, or I got a lot better since I first played it, because it's a hell of a lot easier than I remember it being.  Of course, now that I know where most everything is, that might have something to do with it ^^;;  But I'm also finding a lot more Pieces of Heart than I ever used to...  Ah well, not like that's a bad thing.  But yea, LTTP and Rockman.EXE 5 are stealing my soul XD  I know I said I'd give that GBA Kingdom Hearts a go, and I started to (if I remember properly, I cleared Wonderland and went on to Olympus), but with such utterly awesome games in my possession, I don't know if I'll ever be able to turn back to finish such a lesser game XD  Not a fair judgment?  Probably not, but there is no denying the awesomeness of Zelda and Rockman, and many semi-decent games seem as nothing before them XD  So it should be no surprise that a game that may or may not be semi-decent from a subpar series should fall by the wayside ^_~  *hides behind DreamAura from the death that will be dealt to him by certain Loungies* XD

Not much else to report...  I think I might be forced to pick up Command Mission in English, unless there's a Japanese copy at Toys N Joys, not to mention a Freeloader for my Cube...  *sigh*  It's just as well, it's taken me almost four hours to get through very little of EXE 5 because I take so long reading one small box of text in Japanese, so at least if I play it in English first I'll know what the hell is going on...  kind of important in RPGs to say the least...  Ah well, back to EXE.  Ja na, minna!

Yep, knew it couldn't last - I forgot this place existed until just now XD  Nope, not being antisocial, though I have a track record for being that too ^^;;  Just no idea what I'm doing here XD  So yea, after fiddling around with this thing for five minutes and having no idea what was meant by "rings" or "subscriptions", I've officially decided to just give up on the damn thing until next week and ask the peoples who would know to explain what is meant XD  Yes, I'm that lazy.  I think?  Either that or...  just too damn addicted to Fire Emblem X_X  Well, that and Final Fantasy: Dawn of Souls XD  I haven't been playing the remade FF1 much since I already beat it on my Japanese ROM (Level 55 party :D) and of course the (much much harder) NES version is already under my belt, but FF2...  another story altogether =O  My party's turning out significantly better than it was on my NES version file...  With the exception of Weapon Skills X_X  Thanks to their remaking the system to keep it "fair" I can't get beyond Level 4 or 5 with my Unarmed Strike skills...  evil...  Hell, in my old file Firion hit Level 11 with swords before I got even half as far as I am now in my GBA file, and Maria hit 8 with Unarmed and I don't even remember what Guy got with axes, probably 10-ish...  On the plus side, all my characters are finally above 1000 HP and 100 MP, so that's a good thing...  It's a bit easier now since stats don't go down anymore...  though that did force you to level more intelligently, and I sorta miss it...  But, I guess it's not that big a deal, stats didn't go down that often anyway, and it was pretty easy to build them back up even if they did, so I guess it really became more busy work than anything else.  As for Fire Emblem...  now that I've finally got the actual game, I'm spending an even bit of time between it and my file on the ROM...  interesting to see just how differently my characters are turning out ^^;;  I'll have to have senpai tactician examine everyone and give her evaluation, or I might waste valuable exp. or weapons on undeserving characters XD  But yea, seems my entire life is video games...  though my girlfriend has started school again, and so thus is online in the mornings again ^_^  So even though I still can't be with her just yet, I can at least talk to her...  the last two weeks sucked without being able to do even that X_X  Blah...  I even miss those silly UH lounge people, they're growing on me like a...  a....  um...  crap, I can't even think about a witty and sarcastic analogy to do the whole thing justice XD  Damnit!  Ah well, I'll think of something later.  Well, I'm gonna go pass out, laters kids.

Yep, as I thought, the nights are going to take their toll on me after all X_X  I'm actually posting on this thing two days in a row...  although personally I'm shocked I even remembered this thing existed two days in a row XD  Ah well...

 

New discovery!  I'm assuming people reading this, having had Xanga forever, already know this, but apparently people leave comments and there's a little button I click to read them!  I didn't know that, this is like the third or fourth time I've used the damn thing, so hush already XD  Ah well, now I know, and knowing is half the battle!  Or something.

 

Meanwhile, it looks like we'll be watching Puni Puni Poemi tonight at work...  That and Excel Saga...  two of the greatest anime ever written XD  Rikudo Koshi and Nabeshin (Watanabe Shinichi) should do more anime...  I need more insanity in my life XD

 

Well, that's all for now...  back to Advance Wars 2!  Or maybe some FFTA...  since my stupid PSX emulator doesn't work, I can't play the real FFT...  but such is life...

 

P.S.  Sowwy Robyn ^^;;

You have no chance to survive, make your time.

 

Or not.

 

Since I work 5 nights a week during the Christmas break, I might get bored enough to routinely update this thingy, which I only remembered I had because Robin and Mike mentioned that this thing is good for contacting other people for some reason.  Go figure.

 

Oh yea, I have no idea how this whole Xanga thingy works, so if there's something I'm supposed to be doing with it that I'm not, lemme know =P

 

What else...  Well, I left Robin and Mike a list of just about every way to contact me, I guess I'll reprint it here since it's not like anyone who I don't know would check this thing...

 

Cell:  224-0225

email: ph@hawaii.edu


And I think my AIM and MSN contact info are on that sidebar thingy there, so that should be obvious enough...

 

In other news, it looks like I might be getting Fire Emblem GBA for Christmas from my uncle, so senior tactician Sharon will probably have fun pointing out exactly where each enemy is in the Fog of War missions XD  Not to mention dissecting my characters to see which ones are levelling good and bad =P  Also getting Final Fantasy 1&2 remake (Dawn of Souls I believe it's called here), so that should be entertaining... 

 

Well, before I say something else stupid, I'm gonna go do some Insult Swordfighting...  http://www.scummbar.com/community/games/swordfighting/index.php  Have fun kids.

OK, maybe I need to do an actual intro post...  yo kids...  I go by the nom de plume Ryken Inverse, and any of you who would know me in person know me anyway, or you wouldn't be here...  in fact, that's probably why you're here in the first place =p  Anyway, I made this Xanga thingy because certain people peer pressured me into doing it ^_~  I might actually make it pretty-ish later, dunno though...  maybe...  well, yea.

Give me money.
