To Write

Yesterday I got a fortune from a cookie to write... now what to write indeed...

Life Redacted

Hmm... always wanted to use that word. This time in reference to life.

Figured I should attempt to reinstate this journal of my babble. Still have no clue on what it would be about.

Oh well, let's see where this takes me.


PS- Nodame Cantabile (LiveAction) is really good. It got me inspired for a while.

Bamboo Thicket

Hetalia is an amazing concept that blossomed well over time. To put it simply... it's personified countries reenacting their respective historical events (originally during WWII but it jumps around to various times).
It's really entertaining to see the quirks of each country personified into a fictional character playing out a conflict.

If you haven't heard of it go watch it, they're like 5min blips but they're entertaining in their own right.

I recently fell upon the creator of Hetalia's weblog, it entertaining to say the least. Even though I can't read Japanese, the doodles speak for itself. There are so many countries in the world not to mention the micro-nations and principalities that have yet to be personified by him (Hidekaz Himaruya) it's kind of fun just waiting to see which country is next.

My favorite country? --- Russia

Story: C

An average game. If you've played the Battle Network games and/or you've played the previous two titles in the Starforce trilogy this is something that you will enjoy. Be it for the conclusion of the continuity or the little insider jokes scattered within the game

Review FAQ Up

Just fixing up the Review FAQ. It didn't sit right to just jump into reviewing without some guidelines.
So the page is up, go check it out. Even if you don't my grading system is pretty straight forward.

On another note I just finished the J-drama One Pound Gospel based on a manga of the same name by Rumiko Takahashi who is of Ranma 1/2 and Inuyasha fame. Check it out. Especially if you like KAT-TUN (especially Kame!). You get some really cute scenes with him being a love struck dense boxer. It's a comedy-romance with a heavy-handed dose of comedy and it is refreshing since I've been viewing some romance dramas that just make you get angry at the female lead for being stupid.

Pause: Lufia -Curse of the Sinistrals

Ahhhh I tried to play Lufia: Curse of the Sinistrals but I just can seem to bring myself to it. Something about the battle system being action adventure is just clumbsy to me. I guess it's a sign to give it a break.
Damn you Betty and Burtty! You are truly annoying npcs!

Now Playing: Lufia:Curse of the Sinistrals

Ah so I've beaten 2 games in a week... now onto a new one.

Lufia: Curse of the Sinistrals is the next inline. I hope it will be good. It is very pretty looking (graphically). I wonder how much this remake is compared to the original RPG one. All I know right now is that it has been turned into an Action-Adventure game and since I never beat the original Lufia 2 it should be interesting.

Now Playing: Radiant Historia

Might as well start off with saying that I'm playing this game.
It's by Atlus the same team that brought you the Persona series and the newly released Catherine game.

Honestly this game flew under my radar when it came out. Didn't think to try it until recently discovering it while roaming Atlus' site on info on Catherine and potentially Persona 5.

So far so good the story is comparable to Chrono Trigger. I'll write a full review when I complete the game.☻

Let's get this started

Hi there this is Gloria and my blog So of Course.

So of Course will be a blog about games, game reviews, doodles and various quips of science (depending on my mood).

I've had other blogs in the past but many I could not keep up with the deadlines I had set and had sooner forgotten them then kept up [art blogs are difficult!].

But as of late my schedule has opened an indefinite amount of time to my disposal and with the completion of my game list. I have decided to share my reviews or at least reflect back in the completion of these games.

I've got over 100 games back logged in completion over my time and I still play new ones every chance I get.

So let's get this started to see how long I'll last!
