LittleBigPlanet Beta

0 comments

So yay, I got my hands on the LittleBigPlanet beta thanks to Nekura. I was just going to wait for the official release in a month but he had hands on two so he passed me one.

GAWD the game is cuteness overload, but at the same time, some of the puzzles are so intricate, it can get into the serious side of things. A good chunk of my weekend has been dedicated to it already and look, it's already over.

So beta's beta. Means that it's still buggy in a lot of parts - e.g. personal stats get reset to zero, pod decorations might disappear, bunny ears sometimes disappears or bends all weird, have issues connecting to other friends (both ways), serious lag issues, insane glitching during fast motion moments, one person might see something different than another person and somehow end up finishing the stage out of the blue, etc etc...

However! It's been insane fun so far. It takes up so much of your time and you don't even know it. Some of the levels built out there are really good. Playing multiplayer is so easy (when it doesn't bug out on you - which isn't always), and everyone's so good spirited and understanding, which is great.

And people have made so many stages out there already the game never ends!

End of Code Geass... Goodbye Lelouch

[code geass: hangyaku no lelouch R2 spoiler + ramble]
So has Code Geass finally, finally ended. Just a bit about the whole series in general - I love little diabolical smart guys (*cough Light*) and Lelouch is so much more charming than Light (c'mon, he's a bloody prince for goodness sake). After Light's fate, I feared Lelouch would share the same... it only does make sense that "karma" (if you would like to put it that way) will come back and get you, or you should realize your mistakes and make up for it. Well, in Lelouch's case, he thought it was the best thing to atone for his crimes... so yes... we saw his death coming. But throughout the whole series, I had that glimpse of hope that his case would be different at the end. Somehow, he'd atone for his crimes, yes, but at the same time he didn't need to die himself.

The end was just so... well, shocking for me. Who would've thunk Suzaku would (for one thing) be alive AND be the one to kill Lelouch AND take on the role of Zero. I was shocked that he died at first (finally died, FOR SURE - or so I thought) and I was all like OMG you can't leave Lelouch alone you douchebag! You guys are like BFF! Then there's C.C. At the end, she didn't get to die and now she gets to live on for another billion years! And what happened to the love you guys developed?? Lelouch just ditched her girlfriend! But at the end, C.C. was rather happy so there are many ways to interpret this. 1: Lelouch is in the world of C, and so they can keep contact (yay!) 2: C.C. after experiencing love, has a new outlook of life thanks to Lelouch 3: Now that she's not bound to the crazy schemes of the Britannia family, she's free to start over and maybe not have to do anything Geass related. But then, what would be her reason for living on then?

The first option would be the happiest, I'd say. Or my friend Hsui brought up the fact that Lelouch might've pulled a Marianna on somebody (maybe Suzaku) or maybe the guy that was pulling the wagon. I don't know but I sure hope they throw an OVA or extra episode at us. Most people aren't wishing for it, because they prefer the open interpretation, but for me... it's way too suspenseful.

So Lelouch's actual death moment. I cried. I haven't cried in a while and... I felt so upset. I know it's expected but the way that he died was so noble... so smart... so Lelouch and yet not Lelouch (because he died! c'mon!). And Nunnally. Something's up with that girl. She can read minds by touching someone! The birth of Nunnally's PSI or Geass perhaps even. But when she cried, I cried along with her. Just thinking about the scene again makes me upset. The moment was further intensified with one of hitomi's wonderful tracks.

Sigh.

There might be another story about the Geass'. Looking at the title "Code Geass: Hangyaku no Lelouch," it's a story about Lelouch and his chapter's over. That could mean that there might be a "Code Geass: Insert someone other subtitle" about someone else. That could be draining the whole concept quite a bit, but it's just a thought that crossed my mind.

AND ONE MORE THING. R2 = R.R.! MAYBE MAYBE HUH HUH?
But wouldn't that be L.L.? I guess L2 doesn't sound really cool now does it. So let's use the R of the L instead, Rerouch Ramperouge. YES.

Importing Forevermore

So I just imported my old blog and merged it with this one. I couldn't import the comments from Forevermore cuz I used a separate service at the time.

Going through and tagging 600+ posts is going to be FUN.

Females Onry

K so this is the first Females Onry post. Means it concerns issues that may be very feminine or "female only" topics. Tags are great.

So I had my first underarm hair laser treatment the other day. I bought a package of three, so I'll be returning for more later. At first I was extremely paranoid that it would hurt like HELL so I was debating whether to get numbing cream or not. When I actually started thinking about how realistic that is for me to actually go and use it, I realized I'd be too lazy to. So I went as I am and it went a lot smoother than expected. They put this gel over my skin and then use the laser stick thing and zapped one arm at a time. It basically felt like needles digging deep into the skin, but it was an instantaneous feeling so it went by real quick. 15 minutes later, I was done. The aftermath felt just like a wax job, so it was easy peesy handle-able stuff.

Makes me wonder if laser teeth cleaning works in a similar fashion.

So... I dropped my Rolex on the kitchen floor today.

Unluckily it fell on the wrong (or is it perfect?) angle and the sapphire crystal crackled oh so wonderfully. Now I'm going to have to get it fixed which'll set me back a few hundred. Damn.

Onto other news... the crappy rain weather has returned which sucks. I had more to say too but I forget.
