If you are getting sick of seeing
these updates well I’m probably twice as sick as them being the only content I
can make for now. So much for the bright new year.
In short, my laptop problems are not
over. Turns out a $60 used laptop is just about as worthless as that sounds. I’d
be okay if all it could run is Microsoft Word, but even worse some of the keys
are dead already, making writing impossible.
I decided to do what I should have
done in the first place, buy a keyboard to use on my old laptop. Sadly even
something as simple as that couldn’t go smoothly. Seeing a $70 keyboard going
for $15 I thought I had myself a steal, but turns out I bought a Bluetooth Keyboard
and had to wait the whole holiday fortnight for the Bluetooth receiver to come
in the mail. Even this isn’t that great of a solution. The keyboard disconnects
constantly if I don’t touch it for 5 seconds or minutes or whatever the case is.
It’s better than literally nothing I guess.
That’s about it I suppose. I might
still write some late Game of the Year blog post since those are all the rage
this time of year (spoilers: Its Undertale). I have nothing else that exciting
to add. I recently played Drakengard 3 and Rodea the Sky Solider (the Wii
version of course). I don’t have much to say about those. I recommend
Drakengard 3 to fans of the series, but those who aren’t are probably better
off just sticking with NieR. Drakengard 3 isn’t that bad it’s just… very
Drakengard. It did surprise me that it’s actually a straight up black comedy, a
lewd as hell one even.
And for Rodea, I played only an hour so far. I’m glad I have
this game… the Wii version, which is apparently supposed to be a pre-order
bonus or whatever with the shitty Wii U version (it’s a port of the 3DS
version). The real version of Rodea might become a rare collector’s item or
something soon so I’d recommend getting that as soon as you can. Remember
though look for the Wii U version that “comes with the bonus game” or else you
could be wasting you money. I bought it new from Amazon and I can only assume I
got lucky, but maybe people have been exaggerating. If you are a fan of Sega,
Yuji Naka, the Wii, or just neat inventive 3D Action games find this game it is
good.
I’m not entirely sure what is next for this blog. I have a
few possible entries in mind that I’d like to at least draft out but we’ll see
if the keyboard gods let me. If you are curious about what I’m playing, I just
bought Chrono Cross so I’m going to be trying that. I’m also thinking about
emulating some kind of RPG. I do really need to get around to Megami Tensei or
Phantasy Star. I feel like I have thousands of games I want to play which is a
nice feeling I haven’t felt in a while.
Anyway 2016 is here so here’s to trying.
