Ohayocon

At 2 PM tomorrow I'll be heading down to Columbus for this year's Ohayocon. I won't be back until Sunday afternoon at the earliest. Just letting you know. *Hopes that the dealer's room will still have a lot of worthwhile stuff once he makes it there*

Best. Week. EVER!

Guess who I got an e-mail from now? NISA! Somehow, someway I've done it. Again. I'm actually a...*gasp*...WINNER in their body pillow contest! Oh yes. Oh hell yes. And my work is going to *possibly* be featured in one of NISA's future newsletters. I don't think I've ever been involved in something quite like this. XD First the contest describing what I would do with the pillow, now this. And I'll be going to Ohayocon this weekend if I can somehow find a ride sometime today. More awesomeness! Sadly I won't be bringing my Kaito cosplay along with me to the event as it has yet to be finished due to lack of materials and access to them, but I may bring along my Zelos Wilder for yet another ride. Whee ~

I never imagined this in my wildest dreams. What has started as possibly one of the worst times in my entire life has turned into one of the best weeks in my entire life.

ZOMG ZOMG! Adrian I did it!

I just got an email from Games Radar a few hours ago telling me that I won a Jakuri body pillow! My entry was actually good enough to warrant it. Yes! Yes! Yes! YES! *runs around in circles* Pictures shall come.

That's not the only new possession that I own. I finally got a DS! Right now it's just sitting near my window, chilling. I only own two games for it (The World Ends With You and Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia), but I'm know for a fact that my collection is going to skyrocket once I have enough money and I'm ready to import again. *Glares at copies of Atelier Lise and Tales of Innocence*

Ar Tonelico 2! <3

I apologize for the outburst of emodom that I posted last night. I feel much better and it's time for me to move onto something awesome. Something that involves girls that sing to save the world. Something that involves entering their "cosmospheres" to make them stronger than they already are. I'm talking about Ar Tonelico II: Melody of Metafalica! ^^;

The Sacred Army Set indeed! I've waiting months for this moment! ^^;

I bought the Sacred Army Set off of RosenQueen back when it was first available in September of last year. The initial box came with the game (duh), a 22 page full color mini artbook, and a 24 track soundtrack. The preorder bonus was an additional 31 track soundtrack with 12 more pages of artwork inside its case. Unfortunately, if you combine the two soundtrack CDs you still don't get the Ar Tonelico II OST in its entirety. Also, the only song magic track on either of the CDs is "EXEC_WITH.METHOD_METAFALICA", which I find disappointing since the song magics are usually my favorite songs in Ar Tonelico. "EXEC_WITH.PHANTASMAGORIA" anyone? XD Anyway, I'm debating on whether or not I should break the wrap covering the bonus soundtrack. I still have it on my copy of the soundtrack that came with Ar Tonelico, but I'm curious to see what the contents of the "extra" pages of the artbook are.

I was quite surprised when I opened the artbook to find this. More Chroche-sama! <3<3<3<3

I thought that I've seen all of the official AT2 artwork that there was to see. Apparently I was wrong. Chroche-sama still looks beautiful as ever in those facial expressions. <3>
AT2 on my shelf, right next to AT1 and the other localized Gust games that I own. ^^;

The game when it was still sealed...

If you win this, then please think of the Jakuri. Protect her and don't abuse her. Please...

There's a Jakuri (Jacqli) body pillow contest going on right now at several gaming sites if you didn't know already. I really want one as I feel as though I need something to hug and be with whenever I'm feeling lonely.

Well, it's time for me to go play this game already. Sadly, I heard that some of the voices in the game are missing. Stupid NISA! *nails the translators with Majinken* Regardless, my dear Chroche-sama is waiting for me, and I cannot fail her as her breaking my heart would be far too damaging to my own mind and soul. Chroche, I love you...
