Im back with more things on persona. So today qasn't too interesting it was mostly fighting and the little S. Linking we did was for the sake of a third party who shall remain un-named. That being said some interesting stuff happened today i.e. Fuuka's persona morphed which means A) now it has butterfly wings and B) i am now under the assumption that party member Personae evolve at certain points in the game not by S. linking. bummer.
Things with Yukari also happened. We did some S. Linking with her and found out her mom wants to forgive her. Things also got serious dude. and then at one point she decided to call us up on the cell phone telephone even though she lives literraly not even 30 seconds away, but thats not the point. the point is that when she called us she was wearing the sexiest pyjamas EVAR. Needless to say I know what im thinking about when im alone for the next EVER. Oh and then Kazushi called us and was all yo wanna hang and we were all no at which point he made a silly face.
Some not so important S. linking also happened. For instance our relationship with Mamoru and Mutatsu may be come closer soon. Also Chihiro is becoming less afraid of men. Also since we're smart we are able to hang out with the stoner in the park on sundays. Well we would be able to if our albino dog didn't steal the pen filled with his blood!!!! Did I mention Yukari's underwear? IT WAS SO TOTALY HAWT.
We also died alot more. We are at a bit in the game where grinding with monsters instead of Yukari/Yuko/Chihiro/Fuuka/Mitsuru is becoming more neccessary and since we haven't really been doing that three Hell Knights kicked our ass alot. We then grinded up the floors and threw in Mitsuru instead of Yukari because Yukari was weak to lightning, this did not work too well. After a while of trial and error we got some magic mirrors and one attack mirror and fought them again. We also pulled out Raja Naga a snake man who is immune to Lighting and strong against peirce attacks. This went over much better due to our immunities Mitsuru's succesful charming, Aigis' attacks and Ken's being dead. We won the day and proceeded to play badminton in the rain.
More P3:FES as it happens, still working on the phoenix wright thing.

Persona 3 part 13
As stated before I am not going to start from the beginning with this FES thing, I am going to write as we go from where we are now.
What happened most recently was fighting and a few S.link things, for the most part. Some interesting story things also happened, in our last session Shinji died and it was all Ken's fault so he ran away. Akihiko found him and calmed him down at which point Ken accepted his mothers death and Shinji's sacrifice and decided he would not let it stop him from trying to help us. Then his Persona went from a black tower shaped man with a buzz saw for a chest to a big red robit with wrecking balls for armpits, Mike thought this was a bit of a down step from his previous form but I was psyched.
Some S. Links also happens, we hung out with Mamoru the most and hey guess what HE HAS PARENTAL ISSUES he is also seeking a true challenge (I think it may be us). We then chilled with Yukari and nothing to memorable happened. The most important S. Link we did was with MMO lady which we are convinced is our homeroom teacher. We logged in to the MMO and she teleported us to her and told us she was no longer going send our chat log to the MMO runners because she was embarassed about the subject matter of our online chat she then told us that she will never see us again (BS) and wrote i luv you in the game at which point Phillip took a screen shot and saved it on his phone. BOOM RANK 10
Pharos also showed up to talk to us about the end and said something really cryptic. Something along the lines of "Don't you remember me?" needless to say we think he may be our dead brother or us from the past. He also said that he sees life and death differently now because he has a friend <3. And also something about "The Fall" being the end.
Speaking of the end Akihiko said something about there being only one ordeal left which can't be true we're not even 8 with SEES yet. If it is really close to the end we have some serious S linking to do with our team were 7 with Yukari, 1 with Fuuka and we're hoping our test score will allow us to chill with Mitsuru. Speaking of S Links our rank 10 buddy Tanaka sold some R/C gets what the eff are those?!? and why do they come with 5 instant Ramens?!?! Also while im asking questions why does going to the bathroom make us GREAT?!? i'm not complaining but why?
Also fighting happened. We made it to the mid boss in the next section of tartarus and were pretty confident with our selves so we fought the 3 knights. we got our asses kicked at which point we decided to leave and come back to grind.
More persona 3 as it happens and maybe some Ace Attorney later this week.

Video Games: a personal history
Hello internetz quite recently a friend of mine, Mike (maybe you've heard of him) was talking to me via facebook about why he likes video games then wrote and posted about and I, being the completely original individual that I am decided to steal his idea. Now my history starts out pretty typically, a small boy falling victim to Japanese cartoons yes I speak of the clever marketing build of pokemon. I instantly fell in love with the colorful monsters and the zany antics so naturally when I found out of the existence of a way of being a pokemon trainer myself via Pokemon Red I had to have it. I never beat red only goofed around with my pokemons and then started a new game but for quite a while I was content with the situation, eventually my eyes were opened to the world of polygonal pokemon games via Pokemon Stadium for the N64 and once again I had to have it I loved pokemon so much I think I at one point owned every N64 pokemon game out there with the acception of hey you pikachu. Eventually my mom took me to a video rental store and i took note of the ability to rent video games which is when my eyes were opened to two of my favourite N64 games Star Fox64 and Legend of Zelda the Ocarina of time. I fell in love again with the space shooterness of Star Fox and the open world/puzzle solving of zelda although I never played much further than the temple of time (I usually started there on a save file from a previous renter) and didnt ussually do much fighting.
A little while down the road I heard word of a game where all of these characters where together beating the crap out of eachother and so was exposed to my first real example of VIOLENCE my mom was reluctant getting the game due to its T rating but I still played the hell out of that game. For a while I stuck with nintendo playing classic Game Cube games such as Harvest Moon, Sonic Adventure 2 Battle and Custom Robo but then when at a friends house I was exposed to something that would change the course of my taste in games FOREVER I refer to of course, Halo: Combat Evolved the blood the competition the physics everything appealed to my 7 year old mind so once again I had to have but alas I had to wait 2 years to get my own Halo game 2 years that is when I got an xbox and halo 2 this practically set the standard for FPS games for me. A year later I picked up a copy of Fable the lost chapters which was my first western RPG and once again set my standard for the genre.
I then slowly shifted from Nintendo to Microsoft for the most part exclusively playing the Xbox so far my tastes for all of the major genres had be set with the exception of two the RTS which came much later and the JRPG. Now many people will argue that pokemon set my standard for the JRPG but I refer to Final Fantasyass JRPGs, long games with deep story lines now the same year that changed when my sister recieved a PS2 and the cross over classic Kingdom Hearts a punishingly dificult Disney/Final Fantasy cross over with cartoony characters weird storyline and a somewhat confusing narrative (for a ten year old atleast) and I have cherished the series ever since. Therefore I have never truly picked a side in the console wars but i've always leaned more towards the xbox. The rest is not too important to the story not for the next 5ish years.
I've never really cared for the politics, process or even developers of video games up until last year when my buddy Mike after much coercing convinced me to go too GiantBomb.com and have been a user ever since. Now Mike's (the person I stole this idea from (maybe you've heard of him)) post was about why he liked games and this has been more how I came to be the gamer I am today. As for why I like games it comes down to a factor of what genre it is, with shooters I love the friendly competition the satisfaction of winning and the variety of weapons. Western RPGs I like story visual flare and the multiple choice systems that make it a more personal experience. JRPGs the over the topness of the characters and story lines that distinct asthetic that indeed I am playing a JRPG and of course the ridiculous names for simple things like calling lighting spells Thunadaga. with RTSs two words StarCraft.
For those who read this I am truly sorry you had nothing betteer to do than read my ramblings but thanks for sticking with me. next, some persona.

I cant write things.
So too all the people reading what I have to say and honestly i cant believe that anyone even considered reading it, evidently I haven't been very active mainly because even with all the things I do I rarely feel I have enough thoughts to write something about it. Although in recent history I have felt more and more inclined to write things but once again have had nothing to say other than ironically writing about how i cant write about things but trust there are things a brewin in the old melon. For instance I have felt like writing about the on going P3FES ER im doing with Mike but i dont feel cappable of writing things we did a while ago so i will start writing after the next session. I have also had many thoughts on games i've been playing and on ones yet to come. So if you guys are willing to bear with me I swear that my blog will become more active.
