"You Want to Touch Me?" - Bayonetta First Impressions

All right, so I picked Bayonetta up as soon as I got off of work...

Yes, I work now. Gotta feed the habits somehow.

Anyway, picked her up right after work and tossed the game in after I finished the food I picked up too. Wasn't completely new to the game as I played the demo, and enjoyed that quite a bit, so I noticed the bits that they changed for the demo and it was cool. As for the first impressions...

This game is smooth, smooth like buttah.

The game so totally drips style it's unbelievable and I'm loving every minute of it. The voices are, so far, pretty great and the controls are nice and responsive, such good things. I really wish this would have been in the fall season but, you know what, it's still good right now.

So far, Bayonetta is one hell of a Bit... I mean Witch.

It's Been a While...

Yeah, so it's been a while since I've posted much of anything here... figure I'm gonna change that. Still gonna post about the things I love and some of which I hate. Mostly Gaming-centric I'm thinking though, a little here and there of other things.

Game on, my friends, game on.

Space, the Final Frontier...

Friday night was filled with all kinds of awesome, anyone who follows me on Twitter would of course know that I found the new Star Trek movie to be all kinds of awesome, especially Karl Urban's portrayal of McCoy which I felt was spot on.

Plans are in the works to see it again on Monday.

What bothers me, however, is that there are reports that the film hasn't beat out Wolverine for the highest weekend opening, I'd like to call, in the immortal words of James T. Kirk, bullshit because today is Sunday and, as far as I am concerned, the weekend is not over and I don't care what anyone says. Until the Sunday numbers are included you can't say that Star Trek didn't kick Wolverine's ass.

Anime! Ah-aaaaaaah!

Yeah, decided to make this an anime post considering the fact that we are already five weeks into the Spring 2009 season, woo!

Of note of the Winter 2009 season is the fact that I have finished watching Rideback and was just a tad disappointed with how they ended the series, it's not that I don't like how it ended I just feel that it could have been done slightly better. Overall, I found the series to be great.

Anyway, on to the Spring 2009 shows I'm watching!

- K-ON! -

At last! KyoAni gets to do their High School girls band anime! And I'm kinda liking it. It's a slice of life anime, much like other KyoAni series Luck Star and Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuuutsu, that focuses on the Light Music club, it's members, Akiyama Mio, Hirasawa Yui, Kotobuki Tsumugi, and Tainaka Ritsu, and their adventures in trying to be a band. I was pretty much hooked by the first episode and plan on watching the series until its conclusion. Moe, moe! Kyun!

- Higashi no Eden -

Eden of the East I just kinda stumbled on, I blade Sankaku Complex for my interest in it. They had an article about how one of the main characters, Takizawa Akia, made his initial appearance amnesiatic, a pistol in hand, and completely naked with a white scribble as the censoring. Now, context is everything for me and I was wondering what the hell the context was so I sought out the first episode. So far I find it to be quite intriguing and at three episodes in I'm going to keep watching.

- Queen's Blade -

Now, I'm not going to lie about my reasons for watching this. No, Hirano Aya isn't one of them. Honestly, I'm very much here for the oppai, glorious oppai. Yeah, shallow I know but it's pretty much the truth. However, there is some semblance of a plot, somwhere under all the scantily clad women, so there may be more of a reason to stick around. However, I might not be able to because It would seem that Media Factory feels the need to be a bunch of pricks and do IP trolling in torrents, which is honestly of dubious legality right now, and happened to nail me for downloading. A C&D letter to my ISP and my internet was out for a day and I now have a DMCA violation strike against me, two more anre my internet goes bye-bye. I want to continue watching, only managed to get to episode two, but it seems that the power that be don't want me to. Bastards.

Gah, been over two weeks since I posted anything. Bad me, bad, bad. No, not dead just a little distracted.

Looking forward to X-Men Origins: Wolverine on Thursday night, woo late show, which will involve some Wolverine geeking-out before the show with the old X-Men cartoons woo!

"It's..." "Susan" "...Suuuuuusan! Oh, I think I scared myself a little"

Went to Monsters Vs. Aliens with my girlfriend and enjoyed it greatly. It was funny in a way Dreamworks animated films haven't been for a little while for me. I thought that the characterization was pretty great with everyone, no voice really seemed out of place. My favorite character was Dr. Cockroach, and not just because he was voiced by the great Hugh Laurie, and I was most surprised that I didn't figure out Keifer Sutherland was General W. R. Monger.

Overall, I enjoyed the film and would suggest it to others. Just not the 3D version... I'm not going to recommend any 3D movies simply because they give me headaches, but if you like it then more power to you.

A Bit of Weakness...

So, I've been bad. Got a bit of money today that I was expecting, helps make things go when you're hunting employment, and it was of decent size, enough that I was willing to let myself spend a little on myself since I haven't been doing much of that lately.

Yeah, 2000 ms points... I get "Don't Stop Believing" for Rock Band, since I'm a sucker for Journey, and then I use the rest for Operation Anchorage and The Pitt for Fallout 3. Should have just gotten 500 for "Don't Stop Believing" and called it good... used what little was left for another Beautiful Katamari stage (getting them slowly so I can get 1250/1250 eventually.)

I'll probably voice my opinions on Operation Anchorage and The Pitt soon.
