Ace Attorney (series)
It started with a purchase of the first game, Phoenix Wright, on the Wii shop channel ($10! Good deal). Then the following occurred over the course of the month:

Finished the game (in three days *cough*).
Completed Justice for All and Trials and Tribulations (Apollo Justice & Miles Edgeworth: Investigations are waiting patiently in [...]

E3 & Skyward Sword

Here’s where you get to listen to me babble about my primary gaming addiction.
I’m currently locked in my office at work, watching the live stream of E3 (I’m glad that 9am Pacific just happens to fall during lunch time here). I saw rumors about the new Zelda title, but I don’t pay attention to rumors. [...]

Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass
I discussed this before and my opinion hasn’t changed. They really improved upon the water travel from Wind Waker, aka, I rather like it now. And digging for treasure is much more entertaining.
What I liked most, though, is the way the story is laid out. In other Zelda titles, I [...]

Writing-slash-Gaming

Two important things in my life, apparently.
Firstly: Some site updates. I got tired of having all my old writing taking up space, so I got rid of that website. In its place, I created a subsite just for my NaNoWriMo novels, located here. It was really the only part of the writing site I was [...]

Phantom Hourglass

This game is so much fun.
I’ve played games on my DS before, but they were pretty much old school and/or GBA games that they just happened to create for the DS. Phantom Hourglass is completely interactive, which amuses me highly. Between that & it being part of my favorite video game series ever, well… it [...]

EA Active
I admit it—I’m lazy. I’ve tried going to the gym… Three different ones. Granted, I am no longer a member of a gym. Any of them.
But this isn’t so bad. I get home, spend a half-hour or so working out, and I’m done. It tells me exactly what to do and there’s little [...]

Fire Emblem: Sacred Stones
This took me the better part of two months to get through, as I generally only played during lunch hour. And it had the tendency to get on my nerves. At least I can look at it now and figure what I’d do different next time. But near the end, when [...]

Game Music

One must have the full spectrum of nerditude to fully appreciate an essential aspect of the culture—video game music.
A game can be decent. But once you add the music, it can become awesome. And if both the game and the music are awesome, well… you now understand how Radiant Dawn is currently my second favorite [...]

Video Games
Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn
I’ll be honest. Wasn’t completely into this game at first, and started losing interest in part two when it started a completely new story I couldn’t care less about. This is probably because I hadn’t played the previous game first. Also, being my first real attempt at RPG, I couldn’t wrap [...]

Fire Emblem

When I start having dreams about characters and poking through fan art, you know I’ve developed a new addiction. Actually, the telling point was when I started to get angry with people who believe Ike is from Brawl. Which is, I suppose, is accurate, but… no.
In retrospect, I probably should have waited to play Path [...]
