cheesy, predictable, annoying slow instant reply scenes…jeez, Masamune Shirow…i want to blame you, but i’ll blame everyone else.

ain’t no ghost in the shell, that’s for damn sure.

entertainment value would have shot through the roof if hitori bit it. (the dust, i mean)

decent game. i beat it really quickly…so i’m glad i got in in a package deal with a ds case and extra stylus’s (??) for 14.00….otherwise i might feel ripped off.

really pales in comparison to gitaroo man lives! Another rhythm game that i started playing recently.

SUCK SUCK SUCK SUCK SUCK LAME LAME BAD

and THEN, you bring in freaking BONO!!!! oh jeez, THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

thank god i had a couple of glasses of wine during this…drunken heckling is the only thing that i was able to cling on to for entertainment.

plus, were they really trying to craft janis joplin and jimi hendrix pseudo characters??? i’m deeply offended…

couldn’t get into it. one of the most horrible battle systems i’ve ever seen implemented in a game (i can’t see my health meter on the main screen!?). rather tedious, even for a person who enjoys a genre that mainly just sends you around a map to collect things.

i hung in for about half of it, trying to perservere, but the story became stagnant (as in i wasn’t sure if i was really getting any story or just a bunch of ‘unsettling’ scenes of kids being bad).

the style was unique and admirable, i enjoyed the music and overall mood of the game…but it just wasn’t that scary for me.

sold it so that i could buy fatal frame III, now there’s some chilling game play!

one of the only ultra-violent movies i thoroughly enjoy

definetly a heartbreaking glimpse off WWII from the japanese perspective….much more affective than ‘grave of the fireflies’

just watched this again for the first time since i was around middle school/high school age. i like it even more than i did when i watched it the first time. truly unflinching look at adolescence…i really do like the parts involving the parents and the little sister. i myself was the eldest to a younger, terribly cute sister. agh, so annoying! i could relate to dawn weiner pretty well, although i didn’t have it quite as bad.

i like that there isn’t a big happy ending, because for me, school never did have one either. you just have to live through it, and pray you make it out with a relatively unscathed psyche, much like what her brother tells her at the end. middle school was a battleground, and this portrays it pretty well (if not a little overdramatically in parts).

a word of advice: if you’re not terribly familiar with quantum physics/mechanics, etc. i highly recommend you finish this in the one sitting that it allows.

i started this months ago and finished almost all of it in an hour or so, i really enjoyed that i was getting a lot of the concepts and what not. then i walked away from it and have come back to it since i’m on a i-need-to-finish-what-i-start spree.

it was a lot harder to get back into it…i had forgotten a lot of the structure for the concepts…argh.

i made it though. i feel smrt!

this is fun! (so far)

CRAP. i turned it off within 20 minutes…the first words out of his mouth was pop philosophy of course…stuff he didn’t even lecture over…

i should have expected it, figuring that the movie apparently replaces his real life friend involved in the love triangle with lou salome with FREUD. what?!

i dunno.

oh, the actress playing salome…retch
