I love my new toy. Not sure if he's a videogame, manga, or anime character, but I luuuuuuuuuuurve him for being adorably kawaii! And since I don't know his name, I'll just call him Cloud as a default name I use for any kawaii boy character. :3
It cost me Php150.00 from the 2014 Toycon in Megatrade hall...I wanted to buy them all but I didn't want to spend more than 200...so yeah, I'll wait for the next time I come across this toy to add to my new supposed collection of anything-I-like.
If I have an excuse for not getting anything done since last week, it's because of this game. It takes up so much of my time especially at night that I'm seriously considering of giving up on the game soon...but not before I could march into battle with my dragon. Maybe by next week or so...
This is a real-time strategy RPG that involves different races, building an army of several thousands, fortifying your castle, expanding your empire, finding allies within your realm, going into strategic battles, and raising your dragons to be the ultimate conqueror. It starts out pretty quick with building houses and farms within a couple of seconds to eventually leveling them up that can take you days to accomplish.
I miss playing good videogames, I seriously do. One of my most favoritestestest videogame series of all time is Suikoden. It's one of those that I found the reason to stay home for up to five days or so...and I never do that since my feet itches after a day of staying indoors. It's one of those games that offer a beautiful storyline and characters that you will grow to care about by the end of the game. They mostly tackle political themes. I don't remember if I teared up for Suikoden II's ending, but I do remember being emotional somewhere along the game on Suikoden V. WAAAAH! I miss Suikoden...and it's been years since the last one came up. I wish there will be another one released someday, I'd surely play it.
I wanted to reminisce so much that I ended up scanning the net for forums and artworks that at the end of the day I wounded dreaming about the game. SUIKODEN VI when are you coming out!?!?! Calling all Konami people!!! I'm not the only one waiting ya know!!!! We need more of Suikoden love!

I never knew how much I missed console games until I started playing last week and fell immediately back in love with whole concept of being a casual gamer. It's something I look forward to on the weekends and my chill time after work. Although I've noticed that I spend most hours playing than anything else, it's a good escape from my temporary set-back. It keeps me from squandering cash outdoors, instead I squander time indoors. Fair enough.
The current apple of my eye is Harvest Moon Animal Parade. It brought me back to those days, long ago, when life was less complicated as my problems only composed of what tool to upgrade and what gift to give to a villager? Now it's a question of what now, and where to go from here? But as long as I have crops to grow and animals to feed, this is where my satisfaction level becomes shallow, temporarily. Oh humanity!
I look forward to finishing the game so that I can start with the next. But in the case of Harvest Moon, it never really ends...so just until I get bored, then I go on with my life.
