Jakuri mug

What are you looking at boy?

Horray for another edition to my ever growing Ar tonelico collection. ^^ I won the official mug that Gust sold on their online shop off of Yahoo! Japan Auctions a month ago and now I own this wonderful piece of merchandise. They chose to have the right expression for Jakuri (sarcastic FTW) and color for it for this. I love it. I won't be taking this out of the box often until I finally get a glass case to store this and my figures in.

In other news, my birthday is tomorrow. Yay? I already recieved my gift from my parents: Fate/Unlimited Codes for the PS2. No special edition however as I have no real interest in the Saber Lily figma that came with it. Although the game was bought new the disc came out of its place in the case while it was being shipped and thus it got plenty of scratches on it. Fun. -_- Hopefully it still works.

Hey, a Fate RPG!

It's fate that this game was created. All right, I admit that I made a pretty bad pun. xD (Image credit: Sankaku Complex)

I swear, the Fate franchise will never die. Not that I'm complaining. Imageepoch has been devolping a Fate/stay Night RPG for the PSP for quite some time called Fate/Extra. The graphical style looks very similar to that of Fate/Unlimited Codes. I'm pulling for a battle system similar to that of the Tales series. Regardless, this game is looking like a day one buy for me so far.

Also, Saber looks good in red.

Neco Arc: Evolution? (aka April Fools Day in the Nasuverse) Oh, and other stuff too!

Nyaa~!

This wasn't the first time that T-M did something like this. XD I guess that they've decided to do a sequel for this year's April 1st. They used real life models instead of Takeuchi's artwork. I don't know about you, but Neco Arc loses her appeal when converted to reality. -_-

In other news, I finally picked up a PSP. It's used, but in very good condition. ^^; I played a bit of Prinny: Can I Really Be the Hero? over the weekend and actually managed to beat the tutorial and three stages. I'll do the rest once I have the time and proper motivation for it. Next: Find a job and obtain a PS3. I was able to find an 80 GB used for $325, but I'd rather wait and see if Sony *finally* drops the price over the next three months. They did announce a price drop today...for the PS2. Arrrrgh! >_< I wonder what's taking them so long to do the same for the PS3...

I've been buying games like crazy recently. Amongst the awesomeness that I've picked up recently, my greatest and luckiest find has to be...Lunar: Silver Star Story Complete. It was $60, and it came with everything. Granted, the thin cardboard box wasn't in the best shape, but everything else was in great condition, including the soundtrack CD and the game discs. It's been a long time since I've had this kind of luck with finding something that I want, and it's probably going to be a long time before I have that kind of luck again. Right place, right time FTW!

I think I'm done buying stuff for a while. XD The next thing that I'll be aquiring is Cross Edge, which I'll preorder if there are decent bonuses that come with it. I've already got Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Summoner 2 and Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor on preorder, plus the 1/8 scale replica of my dear Chroche-sama coming for me, so I'm pretty much bogged down on cash at the moment. Not that I needed my backlog to become even larger than it has been, but I can't help but expand my collection. XD
