Yesterday when I was just clicking around the internets, I found this amazing Indie Game called Hikkikomori Quest. It's the adventure of a 29 year old Otaku who wasn't left his house in a little over a year. The game starts on his birthday, where he goes to 4chan to find some happiness and sympathy for his sad, lonely life. He is assaulted by trolls and goes on an adventure to get some soda and a hot dog (I'm on the hot dog labyrinth, just on my way to defeat the hot dog) Anyway, if you want a some really fun, free entertainment DOWNLOAD THIS

Anyway, I picked up a copy of Soul Calibur IV yesterday and I've got to say I'm really satisfied with out this turned out. The Tower of lost souls is pretty difficult, but makes for a fun stratagey of constructing new characters to counter the skills of your enemies instead of using the same character and just facing regular opponents. The only problem I have with the game is the star wars characters. It's not that I don't like star wars, It's just that it feels so tacked on and uneeded. When you play as any of them, it just doesn't feel like you're playing Soul Calibur at all.
Oh, I guess the hot dog was the final boss, New game? Wait....
Well, Hikkikomori went out with some girl named Mina, She dumped him, it resumes a year later. He is now 30 and does the same thing as before. Neat.
Lastly, I very reluctantly picked up the FF IV remake, fearing they would turn Cecil emo and cut out some of the spelling errors and bad translations in the original. For the most part I was right, most of the comedic dialog was replaced with more political speak, and my favorite errors are gone to. One thing they did keep (If they didn't I would've stopped playing by now) is the epic text battle with the phrase YOU SPOONY BARD! still being shouted out. For the most part Cecil isn't emo put still seems like he is more emotional than before, but not enough to be emo. I can only hope it stays this way as I complete Final Fantasy IV for the 4th time. (It's a coincidence.)
I know it's a long journal.
