Welcome to my blog where all my thoughts and ideas get put into text. |

I feel guilty for neglecting my other titles...I'm not quite sure what to do about this. I've purchased a few games lately that I was very excited to play at the moment that I purchased them, titles such as: Pandora's Tower, Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity, Defiance, Zero Escape: Virtue's Last Reward. The only trouble is, I've barely played any of them! All I have been playing lately is the new ARAM mode on the League of Legends Public Beta Environment and I've been trying to be more active on the League of Legends forums as well. ... however, the new ARAM on the LoL PBE is fantastically epic.I'm most likely going to FRAPS a game or two soon, just for fun and to show my friends the updates on the PBE. I would be playing more PSO 2, except that it currently is not compatible with FRAPS; that, and I have to do my quest for my second class (Hunter going into the option to be a Fighter) and it seems like a lot more effort than I am currently willing to put into it. So, the League of Legends PBE has attracted all of my attention lately. Not only does it have the new champion, Lissandra, and the updated models for Trundle and Sejuani, but the ARAM matchmaking is a very satisfying experience, and can have games of varying time frames, though usually they are relatively short which means more games in a shorter period of time. The average game that I have played lately has been 20-30 minutes, as the PBE has unlocked all champions for all players, with a 20% IP boost enabled as well. It's still in Beta for a reason.This has caused some interesting glitches for me, however. The most noticeable one was my getting Morgana four games in a row; this was an unusually odd occurrence, for though my PBE account has quite a few champions unlocked (at least 30) I have yet to received a champion so many times in such a short period when I have my regular champions available. Now that all champions have been made available to me, I receive only a small selection of this availability with regularity. The strangest part is that every player on the PBE has all of the champions marked as playable/available, so it isn't as though Morgana is the only champion that I do not share in common with the other 9 players in the game. The one positive thing that has come of this, however, is that I have once and for all (until a new skin comes out) decided which Morgana skin is my favorite; Sinful Succulence Morgana. Note: The extra champions are currently disabled on the PBE. Links:

The show is finally here!The second Defiance episode is airing today, at this moment. It is truly an amazing show, I'm writing this during commercials. The second episode isn't disappointing, it really quite excellent. I had to take a break from the game due to my exam week unfortunately coinciding with the launch week for the game, but there is no such complication this week, aside from my social life getting in the way (how did I happen to get one this week, of all weeks?). If you haven't had a chance to check out either the game or the show yet, you absolutely should. The pilot was an hour and a half when it aired on Showcase, and was absolutely phenomenal. It's currently available to stream from the Defiance website Links:

Even the best developers create new content that has some glitches in it, and this game in particular is a relatively new concept in the world of consoles.
I'm personally giving the game about a month or so to work out the connection issues, and we'll see how I feel about it from there. Although to be honest, since there aren't any subscription fees, I'll probably keep playing and just change games every time it disconnects me. Tonight's a perfect example of that; I got disconnected from the servers while working on a Hellbug event, so I went to go play League of Legends and won both of my games. All in all, a solid night, as I gained two levels in Defiance prior to getting disconnected. Defiance on the Xbox 360Started up Defiance on my Xbox 360 a few days ago, and I must say, despite the lag and being unable to connect 30% of the time, I am really enjoying my time in the game. The story is a lot of fun, and you get such a plethora of weapons that you may think you're back in Borderlands 2. I also really enjoy the third-person standard view, as I tend to shoot from the hip regardless of what game I play, and this allows for a bit more freedom when it comes to recoil. I'm currently wielding a modded pistol and an automatic shotgun~ You get to customize your character, who doesn't really speak aside from the few emotes the game gives you, which is totally fine by me. Got the same treatment from Master Chief back in the day, and the other characters more than make up for your silence. The multiplayer is probably one of my favorite parts, though I am pretty awful at the team deathmatches. King of the Hill, though, I'm pretty damn decent. I think it probably has to do with there being less opportunities for consistent camping, as the map is much larger and much more obstructed than those in the deathmatches. The Arkfalls are one of the largest multiplayer experiences I've ever had, as anyone who is currently logged into the game is able to join in the event. Space Debris crashes into the planet, which naturally attracts some of the less desirable elements on the planet, namely the Hellbugs. Your job, as an Arkhunter, is to break open the space debris to try and retrieve the technology located inside. You do so by allowing the smaller Hellbugs to attack the debris, opening up weak points while defending against the larger swarming ones. Eventually, you may end up fighting a gigantic monster, which you can only defeat when the fully grown Hellbug emerges from hiding within. Overall, a ton of fun, though the lag I experience during my last Arkfall was absolutely insane! I could barely move, never mind actually switch out my weapons to something with some ammo. ArkfallsHowever, the Arkfall prior to that, I had next to no lag with the same amount of people present; I suppose it just all depends on timing and luck. As such, here's my score from the event, woo! While the game is currently very laggy and glitchy when it comes to logging in and staying logged in, it is definitely a game worth checking out. One part that I'm very excited for (looking into the future) is how the players will wind up impacting the TV show, Defiance, launching April 15. I'm willing to ride out the bugs, because honestly, I haven't had this much fun in a shooter since Perfect Dark 64 (and yes, I do also play Halo; the combat here just suits me much better). Links:

I also got a chance to *finally* play the new Metal Gear game, Metal Gear Rising Revengeance on my Xbox 360! So far, absolutely loving it, Raiden is awesome. The only thing I wish that they had done (probably because I've never played a Metal Gear game in my life prior to this, excepting Metal Gear Solid: VR Missions, which was AWFUL) was made a tutorial explaining a little bit more about Raiden's combat skills. However, my lack of talent with it was most likely entirely my fault, and not the game for not holding my hand enough. I wound up playing about an hour of the game, then did some VR missions, which definitely helped me out in learning some of Raiden's skills, though I have absolutely no idea how I'm going to get close to getting some of those times. Hopefully by the time I beat the game, I'll have improved... maybe? I managed to remember one of my favorite songs of all time, and one that I was always pretty decent at singing, as it fits pretty much perfectly into my range, Kaze ni Naru (Become the Wind) from The Cat Returns. I'm working on a piece of artwork to sit there while the Youtube video is playing, so I'll hopefully have that finished by Monday evening, so I can post the video. My version is obviously a little different, as my voice sounds quite different, but I'm pretty happy with it. I will also be posting my PSO 2 White Day video tomorrow night, as I simply keep forgetting to do anything about it until it's roughly this time of night (3 am, whoops!). I guess that's everything... Oh! I downloaded the demo for Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity, and it is one of the cutest things I have ever seen. I chose to look like a Pikachu, and just the way the Pokemon reacts to things and how I run make me super happy. It isn't very challenging at this point, but I will most likely pick up the game to go with my new Pikachu 3DS XL. Things to do in Minecraft Xbox 360: |
