Such a manly dungeon, that one

Agsadfghsfh. In three days I've managed to get to the part I was in Persona 4, when I played the NTSC burned version. Maybe it's the fact I paid to own that game what made me so determined. I still suck enormously, of course, and Shadow Kanji beat the crap out of me. My main issue in dungeons is how I run out of SP so fast and the items to replenish are hard to get or made of fail -there must be something other than TaP cans. Fuck you, kitsune, with that price you could fill up my HP as well.

My head hurts, so... I'll take a break with that. I should play a Tales tomorrow instead, to relax.

[livejournal.com profile] kirarakim tagged me a while ago for these memes.

Tamaki Suoh

1. Do you like this character?
I'm really weird in the fact that I don't like or care much about most of the Ouran characters. I sort of READ that series for Tamaki, so that must be a solid yes for you.

2. What name/s do you call this character?
Tamaki, sometimes Tama.

3. What image-song do you associate with this character?
In one of those iPod/playlists/whatever memes I did once I couldn't unsee Savage Garden's Truly Madly Deeply. However, I associate him the most with his actual image song, Guilty Beauty Love (do not confuse with The Gavinners' Guilty Love!)

4. What blood-type do you think this character is?
He already has one: he's A. I had to look it up but here you go.

5. What color do you associate with this character
Gold, purple, reddish and orangey colors.

6. Of all of the titles that this character appears in, what character do you like to put this character with?
Haruhi.

7. What would you want to say to this character?
"No, srsly, doing it wrong. First, you can't be sure she likes you back just because, and second, if she really does fancy you? She might have second thoughts if you keep being such a pushy creeper. It's funny from our POV, sure, and I missed that ridiculous side of yours, but that doesn't make you less of an ass."

8. What would you want to do with this character
Happy shit! :D Maybe take him on a date to a commoner amusement park and act like little kids all of an afternoon. It'd be awesome! And happy!

Avatar

01: What got you into this fandom in the first place?
Several people on the flist were making posts about it, so I checked it out.

02: Do you think you'll stay in this fandom or eventually move on?
I was never in the fandom!

03: Favorite episodes/books/movies/etc.?
I have half the series all foggy so I refuse to pick episodes.

04: Do you participate in this fandom (fanfiction, graphics, discussions)?
I don't. I wrote one fic about Sokka and Hakoda once and never plugged it out.

05: Do you think that more people should get into this fandom?
It's a good fantasy story, so more people should give it a chance. Not the fandom itself since it's batshit and wanky and filled with ship wars, but it's a nice series with cool characters.

Slayers

01: What got you into this fandom in the first place?
It was on national TV. Watched one episode and thought it was the shit.

02: Do you think you'll stay in this fandom or eventually move on?
I was never in the fandom.

03: Favorite episodes/books/movies/etc.?
From all the canon I've been able to pick up, I like the first two TV seasons the best.

04: Do you participate in this fandom (fanfiction, graphics, discussions)?
I don't. I've made some icons, though.

05: Do you think that more people should get into this fandom?
Well, Revolution seems sort of crappy and I didn't finish it, but the first TV series were cool sauce. I heard the novels are quite good. I have no idea if the fandom did revive or not.

Rurouni Kenshin

01: What got you into this fandom in the first place?
See answer for Slayers.

02: Do you think you'll stay in this fandom or eventually move on?
See answer for Slayers.

03: Favorite episodes/books/movies/etc.?
My favorite part is the Kyoto arc, hands down. Best fights, best villains, best new character introductions.

04: Do you participate in this fandom (fanfiction, graphics, discussions)?
Never did.

05: Do you think that more people should get into this fandom?
The anime is fillertastic, but the manga is one of the best shounen I've read and perhaps it ruined the genre for me. People should check it out even if it's just for the roots.

Fullmetal Alchemist

01: What got you into this fandom in the first place?
I actually read the manga for the first time years ago, out of boredom. I was checking out project pages of scanlators I liked to see if there was something interesting. In Toriyama World they had six chapters of this, and I downloaded the first one because the title and cover were intriguing. I digged it. Some time after that the first anime was announced and it got a fandom! Man, I feel old now. Get off my lawn!

02: Do you think you'll stay in this fandom or eventually move on?
I already moved on from the fandom because of some wank. I'll always love the series and keep up with it until it ends, however.

03: Favorite episodes/books/movies/etc.?
I refuse to choose chapters. I do enjoy flashback parts the most, though.

04: Do you participate in this fandom (fanfiction, graphics, discussions)?
Not anymore.

05: Do you think that more people should get into this fandom?
Hell no, it's too crowded and whiny as it is. (and yet, I still rec it around to my friends and brothers orz)

CLAMP in general

01: What got you into this fandom in the first place?
Probably Cardcaptor Sakura being broadcasted on cable TV. I got into it in the middle of the series for shallow reasons Yue and Clow looked fucking cool during the Final Judgment, what?. Then I watched Magic Knight Rayearth and noticed it was the same creators. So I investigated on the intahwebz.

02: Do you think you'll stay in this fandom or eventually move on?
I kind of WANT to move on. At least after the current series end and have their closure. I joke that I already substituted XXXHOLiC with Natsume Yuujinchou and Tsubasa with Tales of the Abyss in some way, heh.

03: Favorite episodes/books/movies/etc.?
I tend to like scenes/series that have my favorite characters the better. But in my current state of bitterness, I no longer want to see more of mine any longer. They're better off like this.

04: Do you participate in this fandom (fanfiction, graphics, discussions)?
I used to, but I've been feeling meh for months.

05: Do you think that more people should get into this fandom?
Not really. Unless they share the mangakas' plot fetishes or don't value their sanity.

Ahhhhh I wish I had time this summer to play games ): I've been wanting to play Persona for years.

I've only wanted to play this one game. Mostly because the characters and plot called my attention, but I cannot stand the gameplay for my life.

[identity profile] the-great-elk.livejournal.com 2009-05-10 03:21 am (UTC)(link)
Ah, okay. I tried to watch one of my friends play, but didn't get a good feel for the gameplay.

No me molestaría levelear si no fuese por mi issue con que los items para subir la magia son una puta mierda en este juego.

Not really, I just thought you might find it interesting.... but maybe not.

Oooh, Natsume icons <3 They're pretty cute! I must've missed it because I saw it crossposted to the fandom comm and probably just skipped it as a normal icon post, I'm sorry.

Aquí es cuando la gente de mi flist me va a crucificar, pero... tl;dr ahead.

Estoy consciente de que se supone que los Persona anteriores (y las otras series de SMT, si vamos a eso) son mucho mejores -he oído que también más difíciles, pero puede ser caso de YMMV. Pero la cosa es que los otros juegos nunca me han interesado ni son el tipo que me llama la atención ni tengo ganas de jugarlos. Seguro los puristas me odiarán por eso porque soy ese tipo de fan bandwagon. No es cosa de que P4 sea más comercial o más jugable o más realista. Es más, el gameplay no es lo mío porque no soy buena en turn-based y me quiero morir de asco la mayor parte del tiempo.

Entonces por qué lo quiero jugar tanto al punto del masoquismo...? Es la historia. La historia y la premisa me gustan, pero más que nada es el equilibrio entre las cosas dark y las cómicas (que es algo que siempre me ha gustado). No sé cómo son los personajes en P3, pero los de P4 me hacen reír. He dejado muchos JRPGs a medias porque después de unas 10 horas o menos de juego me daba cuenta que no sentía apego a nadie. Con sólo un par de horas de P4 sentía que podía llegar a querer a muchos del cast y eso nunca me ha pasado con un RPG puro. Por eso intento ser paciente y de hecho quiero terminarlo. P3 no me da la sensación de que pueda hacer lo mismo para mí o que sea mi taza de café, aunque me dé más SP refill.
