It's no secret that I'm a longtime fan of Koei's Musou series. Hell, Warriors Orochi 3: Ultimate is one of my all-time favorite games.

Today I picked up Hyrule Warriors.

After the fourth stage or so, I noticed something odd. Something I really couldn't quite put my finger on. Like I'd seen this story before... Cia opens some portals across time and space, creating a patchwork world in which people and places converge. This game's plot is Warriors Orochi with a Zelda paint job. Don't get me wrong, that's far from being a bad thing. It just struck me as humorous, that's all. I'm currently at the point in the story where the timelines split.

Anyway, I'm enjoying it so far, even if muscle memory keeps screwing me over (I keep wanting to press R1 to center the camera). I think my favorite thing about it is the slightly more strategic gameplay than the usual Warriors fare.

More commentary to come as I progress.

So, two things are on my mind today. One is kind of a heavy topic, and the other is decidedly not. So if you don't give a flip about my personal/emotional problems, feel free to click the second cut for happy fun Koei shenanigans.

( On the subject of life... )

( On a lighter note, Koei shenanigans! )

So I discovered this morning that one of the results of searching for my school's student login page through Google is the Wikipedia page for Enzai: Falsely Accused.

Yeah, I have no idea, but it amuses me regardless.

Last night I dreamed that 3/4 of the world had been destroyed in a nuclear holocaust.

It was kind of weird.

Random amusement of the day:

While playing (level-grinding) Disgaea 3 today, I'd recently reincarnated my Warrior into a Samurai. For the hell of it, I change his name from Valentine to Kojiro to match his new class. Way overleveled, I flew through the item world to improve his weapon, and Kojiro kills a random Warrior who just happened to be named Musashi.

I am far too amused for my own good.

I am no longer one of the unemployed, whoo!

Granted, it's just a clerk job at a convenience store, but it's still income!

So! I will be leaving for Dallas in one week for A-Kon. Anyone else going who might be interested in meeting up?

I'll be bringing the same costumes as last year: Yuber and Carmen Sandiego (though I'll be wearing Yuber more, as I almost got heat stroke last year in Carmen).
