→ Can't say a lot about the FMA raw that isn't YAAAAAAAAY! YAAAAAY! WHUT? YAY! NOOO! NOOOOOOOO!
→ The Okami storybook arrived! It's about Amaterasu and Oki hunting for the monsters that scare Wali (the Oina guy who thinks he's cursed and gives you the area's list?) off. Except the dude sucks at drawing and they have no fucking idea and they ask around. They get to a cave and fight a fishy fish ayakashi, then stumble into Waka. Then I wondered if any of those "monsters" was maybe him, but I can't read the text. There's an sad lack of Oina people, but there's a doodle of birds eating from Samickle's mask leaves and I like that!
→ This should've been a very fandom-squeeing day, yet I spent most of it studying and installing software for my final project. It was Java EE, Eclipse, Apache Struts/Tomcat/Malve, MySQL. And yet I couldn't program a shit because the plug-ins gave me problems: Tomcat doesn't start up, Malve doesn't like my Java. Ugh, what now.
Maybe I should give up, install Linux, and do shit easier. Except then I would've lost my precious "free" day today and >:|
→ Seriously, my 16 year-old brother actually dropped the control in the first minute of gameplay of a 2005 PS2 game (in this case, Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones) because "the graphics suck" and "look at the polygons" and "the first!XBOX games didn't look so bad" and "my eyes!!" and some more bullshit. Then he proceeded to play the previous game of the series (2004, BTW) in the 360 to prove his point or whatever. I just... this kid is an elitist asshole. He knows it's an old-ish game and a PS2 one to that. What is he expecting?
His idea of good graphics in this generation? FPSs where almost everything is brown or gray. Not all those games are bad-looking, of course, but most of them seem bland to me. Color use should be a factor in good graphics, I say.
Not that it matters to discuss with him. He's the kind of idiot who think his word is a fact, and if he doesn't like something then it sucks. Incidentally, flist, he hated the Bayonetta demo and whined his friends into not buying it because OMG it was bad and overhyped.

Ha Ha I am sure a lot of teenagers are like this. :D

Still, he's such a self-centered PRICK about everything ever.

Also eee, more Okami books! I am so envious. ;o;

They're cute! The first one was scanned at

I'm not touching FMA until a translation comes out. Looking at the raws just makes me more nervous. DX

It's already out sdfdfsgwhat.

That's because Real is Brown (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/RealIsBrown).

But well, I do understand that most war or post-apocalyptic games wouldn't look good with a rich palette. However, I still fail to notice the "good modern" graphics when the backgrounds all look the saaaaaame. (And choosing a different scenario? Just changes where the buildings are or something.)

Does your brother have a PS3? Try pushing him towards the Uncharted series, and see if he thinks that's not "good modern graphics" because it has too much color and too much diversity in settings.
no subject
We don't plan to ever buy a PS3. Too expensive for the exclusive 2-3 games we three like.
