There are times when a game falls flat on expectations. When a game that is a personal favorite of many people you admire turns out to be something you just can’t get into. And times when it effectively kills your interest in the series it belongs to. But not Snake Eater, because it is my favorite Metal Gear Solid game thus far.
Nari’s Log was a ambitious unfinished sci-fi novella created by Natalie Neumann. Natalie does not recommend that you try to read the original work due to its low quality, structural issues, and grammatical errors. Instead, she encourages you to read the summary included in Volume 06: Nari’s Logof The Saga of Vincent Dawn and Volume 02: Nari’s Log of Natalie Rambles About The Saga of Vincent Dawn to better understand the content of this novella.

Okay, time for a bit of history, seeing as How I like doing that when digging up fossils. Originally a series that began on the PS2, Sengoku Basara was originally brought over to the English world as Devil Kings, which tried to remove the Japanese from a game named after the Sengoku period. Why? Because Capcom, I suppose. So they decided to remove the three from the third game in the series and hope they could make some money. Not that it stopped it from getting 4.5s, which I can’t help but laugh at.
Well, I realized that the whole idea of a weekly segment being the actual title was pretty stupid, so I’ll just relabel that bit with the word, “Rundown”. If only because it fits and I like how it sounds. So… PAX East! Very cool convention, with some cool things happened in and out of it that I want to speak about. At least enough to fill a segment with things I personally consider to be worthwhile. But it was originally going to be both GDC and PAX, until I realized that was an awful idea, and am just putting everything together minutes before the post goes up.
I originally thought this up as a character about… a year ago or so. But why not make an origin story for them, because I keep on wanting to just establish a bunch of character with these stories and maybe do crossovers. Not like that idea is any good. In fact, it is pretty bad. And if the title didn’t put you off, I use a bit of Deutsche, because I’m currently taking level zwei German. Also, first thing I wrote for this blog to ever get four drafts, goodie!
What do you do when you’re twenty hours into a game and don’t want to play it any longer? Review it and use that as a pretense. So instead of this being a review of Golden Sun Dark Dawn, it is a review of the first twenty hours, which I think is just over half of the game. So read on if you want me to pick away at its nits.

Hey, I’m posting this ahead of schedule, because I plan on squealing over PAX East when it ends, where I’ll pretty much link to Destructoid’s coverage while typing out words of happy and cynicism. But some stuff happened before that, so I’ll just talk about that. Also, new title because I realized that I’ll just use this format for events as well.
Despite a lot of what I say about certain shows, eventually bad mouthing them after I thought they fell from grace, their ideas certainly inspired me, with Mysterious Girlfriend X, Machine Girl, and things I can no longer locate, but were very surreal, being what I’m mimicking this time… Yeah, sorry about this, but I have fun writing this rubbish!
Guh, I am really bad with plowing through series. Admittedly, one episode a day is not so horrible, but it has been nearly three weeks since my last review of an anime series, so I’ll just jump on in, and hide under how it is technically two seasons.
Whee! Seventh week of things I want to talk about revolving the video games, highlighted by Saints Row IV, because I like the series a whole bundle. But first I need to talk about other stuff, so let’s just do it to it… I literally thought that up unironically. You kids are in for a treat!

As stated prior, I apparently lived my life wrong to the point where I never ended up touching a PS2 or original Xbox controller, choosing a Gamecube because I could only get one, and I inherited a Nintendo 64. Which is a decent excuse for why I never played several titles, but no reason why I waited over a year until I opened up the Metal Gear Solid HD collection to continue my trek through the series.

I just want to preface this short story by saying that I do not agree with everything said. This would mostly come as no surprise, but because it is first person, and I don’t carefully alter the main character’s words from my own, I could understand some people thinking that I am sharing my beliefs, when I am not. It is really me just mixing Donnie Darko and Chaos;Head, because I saw them over back to back weekends and got some neat ideas to imitate.

I’m screwed up because of daylight savings and a sore throat, so I’m just going to post my next adventure into video game reality and talk about what I saw. So in one of my favorite quotables I will, “Just Go For It!”
I’ll be honest and say that I am not a very good writer. Sure, I’ve tried my hardest to get better, and hopefully get some free criticism, but there is one aspect I still don’t get above how to make characters, and that is providing a proper scale. In short, I was more or less trying to hit two hundred pages, where I explain the backstory of 26 characters, a massive world filled with smaller worlds, and fulfill any desire I had in my head.

I hate it when titles take me forever to get around to, and this one was hanging in the balance for about two months. But after using an extended weekend to plow through this title that I would expect 5+ million people to own due to how it was $0.00 for a few days. Still, I am insane and can’t go through something and not write about it unless my thoughts are totally indifferent, so here’s what I thought of the title, and two months before the sequel.

Huh, five weeks in already? Maybe I can actually keep up this charade for a year, or however long I can do it without being bored out of my skull. But how can I be when talking about them vidja garmes?

…I don’t know what I’m doing anymore! I never really did, but now I’m just throwing out my dreams and committing plagiarism on my mind! I am literally doing this when I’ve got some free time during school, and I don’t think it is bad. But what was this again? Oh yeah! Here’s a character based prequel on an unintroduced character for my narrative series, Nari’s Log. Because I thought it’d be a fun idea.

I am all but certain that there are only about five people in the world who give a crap about this show. But that didn’t stop me from digging it up via the infinitely convenient set of streaming sites and decide that I should review it. So… DNA²!
