  WoW... again.

  Yeah, I've officially started up WoW again. Didn't think I'd ever go back but now that I'm actually playing it I don't regret it. Managed to get my Warlock up to lvl 22 so far.

  One thing I'll say about WoW that really applies to all online game is that playing with friends is where all the fun is at. If you're not in a good guild you might as well not even bother.

  Thankfully a few people from my original guild Tourian are playing again as well as some people I post with on another forum.

  In other news I've officially received my PSP for Christmas. So hawt...  Been playing lots of MGS: PO and even more Phantasy Star IV. Even put my mp3's and a few videos on it.

  It's been awhile...

  15 months or so since I updated this thing. I can’t say much has changed with me over that time. Just been gaming and hanging out with the gf for the most part. Once the board I spent most of my time in went privately hosted elsewhere there wasn’t much reason to stick around. I did miss updating my journal though.
  
  Gaming wise my 360 has seen a ton of action the last couple months. Marvel is an amazingly fun game to play online with a bunch of friends. GoW pretty much overtook all my other games when it was released though. I’ve played it almost every day since it came out. It’s easily my favorite fps in recent memory.
  
  PS2 is still chugging along with FF XII. I’ve only put about 10hrs into it though… GoW really did take over my console gaming.
  
  DS has been sporting FF III and not much else at the moment. Can’t wait for the next Phoenix Wright game…
  
  Pretty psyched about getting a PSP for Christmas. Managed to snag a 4gb SD card for $65 and the Logitech Playgear case in preparation. It’s amazing how many people seem to get so much joy out of declaring the system dead where the way I see it, it’s just coming into it’s own.

  I love my DS but the PSP has just as many games that I’m interested in right now.

  
  MGS: PO
  MGS: Acid 1 & 2
  Lumines
  Kingdom of Paradise
  GTA: LCS
  GTA: VCS
  Sega Collection (Phantasy Star 2, 3, and 4 SPLORT)
  Loco Roco
  Daxter
  Burnout
  Valkyrie Profile
  Field Commander
  Syphon Filter
  X-men Legends 2
  Hot Shots

  Not to mention the video and mp3 capabilities. It would be nice to be able to listen to my music when my gf snags my ipod…

  Sure it might have had a disappointing start but I don’t see how that should discourage me or any other people interested in the PSP right now…
  
  So, that’s pretty much it for now. Maybe I’ll even post some thing again sooner than 15 months from now…

  Indigo Prophecy - Early Impressions

  *some slight spoilers below but nothing major*

  I’ve only played a little of it but what I have played has been excellent so far. The first section I was already familiar with from the demo so I breezed through that with out too many issues. The second section switches you over too the two cops who just got assigned to the murder case you just committed. It’s an interesting situation to be in as you come across all the evidence that you just so recently left behind.

  You can also switch between the two cops at any time to get different perspectives. So far it seems like the female cop (I’m horrible with names) is the person who you’ll be doing most of the investigating with while the male cop is there for dealing with his personal life and a little comic relief. Using the urinal while she was investigating the murder area is a little crude but the reaction was hilarious. It even dropped her mental health bar down 5 points. lol

  Once you finish gathering clues you can leave the area and it takes you back to Lucas Kane who understandably is having a few nightmares before he wakes up with sheets full of blood (cut his own arms up before the murder). Your mental health bar is pretty low here so it’s best to get started on raising it a little. Of course one of those pesky visions haunts you as your walking around as well. This one is rather useful though as it indicates a cop will be shortly visiting your apartment and gives you a not so subtle hint that you might want to get rid of any evidence you’ve carelessly left hanging around. Taking some pain medication next to the bed, covering the bloody sheets with the blanket, putting the bloody clothes in the washer, and bandaging up your arms gets you back on the right track mentally and evidence wise.

  Just in time too as the cop just started knocking on the door demanding to be let in. You have a certain length of time to let him in or… well I’m not sure but I doubt it’s good. I was just about to let him in when I realized I hadn’t gotten dressed yet. Seeing as how I had bandages running the length of my arms I rushed off to my closet and got dressed. Meanwhile, he’s yelling about kicking in the door if I don’t open it immediately. With time to spare I go to open the door only to find out it’s locked and needs a key to be opened (Who the heck has a door that locks from the inside?). After a mad dash looking for the key I finally manage to get the door open in the nick of time. Phew…..
  
  He asks you some questions about some screaming that was heard by the neighbors last night. Apparently your responses can lower or raise his suspicion bar. My answers seem to make him more suspicious and he asked if I’d let him have a look around. Figuring I didn’t want to draw any attention to myself I complied. Thankfully there was nothing to be found and he soon left, though I was sweating buckets when he was standing next to the washing machine with the bloody clothes. It was also a little creepy as he addressed me as Mr. Kane as that’s my actual last name. Took a second before it dawned on me that the main character is named Lucas Kane. lol

  So far I’m really digging this game.
