REMINISCENCE
OK, for starters .hack//G.U. Volume 2 has been released. If your any kind of regular reader you'll know of my obsession with the .hack (aka: dothack) series. I love it. It's like online with out all the crappy EXP grinding a noobs bothering you. Theres a fantastic story about online shenanigans and the series is absolutely massive. The original .hack games kicked serious ass. Sure the battle system got a bit same but it was always fun tearing ass around kicking the crap out of everything and dragging some relatively decent AI party members with you. Fields and Dungeons are randomly generated with the help of a 3 keyword combination which opens up an absolutely massive amount of places you can go. All different from the last. The music kicks ass as well. So when heard about the second game of the new series (there were 4 old dot hack games and now theres 3 new ones) I almost shit my pants with excitement.
Funnily enough I haven't played the first game of G.U. yet. It's pretty slack on my behalf, considering I know how much I'll love it, but I've been a little too busy. Now there is only going to be a trilogy with this set of games with the last coming out in October. I've considered quitting my job to play .hack, theres a lot to be ding in a .hack game, but alas I don't think that will happen in the next few weeks, not why my credit card is in dire need of a cash transplant.
For now though I'm stuck playing the magnificent and addictive Pokemon Diamond for my DS. I've got the "gotta catch them all" fever. Also it helps a lot with my Action Replay DS, it means all the shiny Pokemon I can handle. Not that I'm a huge fan of cheating our way through games, but Pokemon without mega trading and a whole bunch of other crap that you need just drags out too long. It's nice to have a team full of shiny's though. Makes me feel special... HAHA BECAUSE I AM!
