You know, it's funny you bring this up, because I've not been in a gaming mood lately, but two days ago I popped in a cartridge for my one true gaming love, the Etrian Odyssey series. I love these games: the combat is speedy and challenging, the story makes sure to stay out of your way, and the addictiveness of doing one more dungeon dive and mapping out a little more never goes away. Pure turn-based RPG bliss! The particular game I was playing was one of the weakest Etrian games, but it was still so much more enjoyable to me than other stuff I've played lately since the games emphasize substance over style so strongly.

I ask, and I receive.

Well Tomb Raider is a rare case. It can be rough in spots but a good series. Tomb Raider while a challenge can still have good game play and it doesn't feel like game system hardware showing off. I've sort of gotten away from gaming mostly.

So there's a new Korean zombie series on Netflix. It's called "All of Us Are Dead." And it's basically a live action "High School of the Dead", just minus the fan service. All I have to say about this series is is that it is amazing!! The Korean zombie scene has been on a roll and it's been nothing but hit after hit in my eyes.

So, fun fact. The fan service is what made High School of the Dead literally unwatchable for me. It was one of the most unbearable anime I had ever even attempted to watch.
So if this is just that, but without the gratuitous tits and ass, I might have to give it a shot.

Yeah. All of Us Are Dead is definitely worth a shot. Lost of school drama/politics.

To all whom* celebrate, Happy Chinese New Year!

*Or should that be that?

Oh 100%. It's even worse when it's a player like me who doesn't really care about graphics. As such, I've gravitated more towards retro and indie gaming. The last 10 games I bought were...New Pokemon Snap, Quake, Mario Party Superstars, Don't Starve, Hades, Megaman X Legacy Collection, Shin Megami Tensei V, Star Ocean First Departure R, Gone Golfing, and Aliens vs Predator 2010. I think that says a lot, lol.

Now, obviously my taste isn't the end-all be-all, and other people care about things that I don't. But man, I hate when people complain about "wow this game isn't 4k 60fps locked." Like...bro :lol what about the actual game?

I just got Metal Gear Solid 2 and 3 HD and I have to admit that while the games haven't changed it's good to see them get a PS 3 release. Metal Gear Solid 2 is as I knew from PS 2.

PSP Peace Walker will be the interesting bit here to see as a full blown console game.

I plan to play more PS 1 games soon on my PS 2. Possibly Metal Gear Solid 1 as well.

On Tekken 5 there's an Arcade section where you play the first 3 Tekken Games. That was cool.

I pre-ordered some figures on amiami the other day and they don't come out until April, but I'm already going crazy waiting for them. I want them N O W :lol


I love the HD collection! The PS3 version is the Subsistence version as well, which has a better camera control scheme and comes with the original Metal Gear and Metal Gear 2.
