Now that Katamari has finished his walkthrough of the game, playing Ah! My Goddess has slipped just that much lower on my priorities list. Still, I do intend to finish the game and my own dialogue-focused walkthrough of it, eventually. I mean, the Troubador cameo alone is just too good to leave untranslated. ;) And all of the Marller story bits are particularly juicy, including her "most precious memory" (I LOL'ed) and the fact that she ( spoiler cut ). I totally plan to veg out with the game this week... The story bits are sooo worth it. But damn if those puzzle levels aren't the most tedious and horrible things ever.

So yeah, I haven't had any chance to play the Ah! My Goddess game this weekend, due to my house being ripped apart and me living in a hotel. And I'm stuck in the hotel for the remainder of this week, which is lame, but whatever. I'm grateful to be getting a flushing toilet installed and to have the school board pay for it (the toilet, not my hotel fees, unfortunately), so I shouldn't complain. For the record, I HAVE finished half of the Past Zone (i.e., the Urd Zone). I want to double-check some translation bits, and then I'll be able to make another post about the game.

And this week, I finally - finally! - got Paypal to recognize my Japanese bank account. Which means that I can now accept Paypal payments. Which means that I can start selling off the gigantic piles of crap that have been accumulating in my apartment this year. Particularly, I have 20-some Suzumiya Haruhi Figumate figures to get rid off. Yep, I had to buy thirty of them before I got a complete set of the original seven. When they say that cosplay!Yuki is rare, they're not kidding. Anyway, I only want to keep one complete set, so I'm selling the rest. I also have piles of magazine furoku and stuff, too. Some of it is pretty cool. But now I'm torn whether to sell all of this crap NOW and deal with the stress of it when I have a million other things on my plate... Or to wait until May when things calm down more. The thing is, my family is coming to visit me in April, and I am more than slightly embarassed to have an apartment filled with nerdy anime collectibles, most of which - for the record - I got for free, I never wanted, and I have no intention of keeping.

Well, before the orgy of selling begins, here's a little something for free, courtesy of

Tainaka Sachi: Symphony of Fate

Sachi Tainaka's debut album (not counting her previous singles) Dear... includes this kick-ass orchestral remix of the two Fate/Stay Night opening themes, "Disillusion" and "Kirameku Namida wa Hoshi ni". Am pimping because this music is simply awesome, even if you have no interest in Fate/Stay Night whatsoever.

Oh, and Fate/Stay Night Realta Nua? Has now officially been pushed back to an April 19th release date. That makes this the third delayed release date since the original December date got pushed back. And BTW, Amazon.co.jp is still telling me that my copy is expected to ship on January 31st. ;)

The other day I was at Heiando and saw a huge display advertising the DVD release of Yoru no Picnic. The lead actress looked veeeery familiar to me, and after a moment of thought I remembered who it was. Oh hey, it's Kou Yaten!!! Well, she's doing well for herself. I think that Tabe Mikako has officially crossed the threshold into Famous Movie Starlet, which is great for her. Yays. Now I want to see this movie just because it has Tabe Mikako in it. I may have to rent the DVD one of these days.

Finally, stolen from

ruuger: The FIC WRITING MEME. Yes, this in a post in which I just complained that I'm totally not a nerdy anime dork. Nope, totally not. Not a dork, not me!

( Okay, I'm a dork. )

And now I leave you with this:

How To Be a Writer in Ten Easy Steps. IT TOTALLY WORKS YOU GUYS.

Game report time again! Like last time, I'm going to be reporting on dialogue and story events, rather than gameplay. For those of you who need help playing the game (and it does get devilishly difficult), Terminal Dogma has a very detailed walkthrough of the game available already. So from now on I'm not going to bother describing the action or puzzles so much. My report will focus on the story and dialogue.

( Game report, through the end of the Tutorial Chapter. )

PS: Oh yeah, Pluggity Plug Mcplug Plug.

Okay, so I started playing the game. Here's a synopsis, up through the end of the first stage of the first chapter. I can't play the game any longer because... Well, because I just bought my used PS2 from an amazon.co.jp Z-shop this week, and it arrived yesterday. The seller told me that there would be a memory card included with my purchase, but - surprise, surprise! - there isn't. So I have no memory card, and the nearest place that I can get a memory card is a city that's a forty-minute drive away. Well, I'll go and pick up one tomorrow after work. My playstation is telling me that I can save a small amount of memory without a memory card, so let's see if I can do that...

Even if I have to replay the game from the beginning, it's not that big a deal, as there is an option that lets you skip all of the event scenes.

( Game report!!! )

( ETA: Now with photos and video! )

Yes, I have it. No, I haven't started playing it yet. I'm still trying to figure out how to hook up my new (used) PS2. I have underestimated how complicated this could be.
