My current games & shows c:

Hello all! 

I've always been kind of sad that during school, I'm balancing

so many thingBlas - schoolwork, blog, tumblr, friends, and job-searching - that

I don't get to really watch anime/TV shows, play games, or read books etc.

Recently this quarter (of course I wouldn't think of this until the last quarter, sigh)

I've started putting aside a half-hour every weekday to play a game I was saving for break,

or watching one episode of a series I'd planned to watch.  

I've actually felt a lot less stressed!  And I don't end up marathon-ing through an

entire series (& ending with feeling sad that it was over so fast).

My boyfriend thought I should be accurate and just watch one episode per WEEK, so 

it'd be like actually keeping up with the show when it was currently running, but I'm not 

nearly patient enough for that!  

(FYI I mostly pick up shows that are already complete so 

I can get the whole torrent - if you want a copy of the torrent/link to it, leave a note

in the comments and I'll give it to you!  I can't post them on the blog because the post gets

flagged and taken down ...trust me it happened before. :c )

Current Shows!

Adventure Time (literally the only airing show I try to keep up with because tumblr spoils it otherwise)

Strike Witches Season 2

Black Rock Shooter (the plot's a bit confusing but the animated dream world is SO pretty)

Current Games!

Bayonetta (I already made a post about this, a sequel's coming out soon if you didn't know!)

PokeMMO (I downloaded it foreverago but finally got to playing it - now I can play

w/o bringing my ds AND laptop c: )
DoTA 2 (Dawn of the Ancients) (it's similar to League of Legends)

Game review: Bayonetta εїз

This is a little bit of a throwback post, since Bayonetta's actually 

not a new game - it came out back in 2010 (way before I had a PS3).

I picked up a used copy for PS3 about the week before finals - I'd seen gifs and

fanart etc. all over Tumblr before & looked it up on wiki because it looked pretty interesting.

The game's actually really quirky and silly, it's just a trick how serious it looks.  Bayonetta's

extremely sassy and camp, & her entire design is so detailed.   At the same time

she's a very strong character even from the start, despite her amnesia.  

Austin watched me playing for a bit and commented that it seems like my kind of game, 

and it is!  A beautiful & confident lady, tons of humor and a bit of weird, the music's 

super dance-able, and the central theme is witches+supernatural beings+Dante's Inferno.  

(The power ups are lollipops, how great is that.)  It's perfect imo.  

Gameplay wise: so far I think the best thing about the game is the Very Easy mode 

(which A gave me crap for, boo).  No I'm kidding - that's probably just because I'm hurrying 

to finish the game and see the whole story...I only have 2 more days before school on Monday! :c

But really I love the designs of all the attacks and the guns & weapons (I skimmed along the wiki, 

since all of this is old news I figured it wasn't cheating).  

And "Very Easy" is exactly what it says - auto combos, all you have to do is randomly

button-push and you perform the most powerful attacks.  (I tried not to button-smash though - 

the loading screen practice field is very helpful for that!)

I do agree with the reviews I've read - I feel like it's extremely underrated.
(Hopefully the upcoming sequel will get more visibility?)  

I've played for a total of about 7 hours & I already got extremely addicted, 

it's just a very fun game that makes fun of itself!

Anyway I would really recommend this to anyone who likes a relatively straightforward

hack and slash, with a few puzzles, plus a well written plot and colorful characters.  

The Easy/Very Easy modes make it fun for people used to games where you just hit

X to punch like me and my Kingdom Hearts history.   

I think it'd probably appeal to fans of Lollipop Chainsaw (which I also heard

a lot of good things about - I'll probably try to play that next over summer).

PS.  Bayonetta 2's going on the Wii U, which is weird considering the first game was Xbox360 and PS3.  I'm a bit sad because I won't be getting to play it after I finish Bayonetta, but definitely if you have a 

Wii U I'd recommend checking the 2nd game out, just based on the first game.)

PPS.  At the end of the game you get a fancy dance sequence as the credits!

I haven't played to the end but I had to see it c:
