Well, this is annoying. I’ve been so preoccupied with other things that I forgot to post on my own blog! It’s been over a month now since I last wrote something here, so I figure I should change that right now.

2008 is nearly over, and thus it turns to the gamers to dictate which games they believe are the best of the best this year. I felt like chiming in, so here’s my Top 5 for each console. I’ve even rounded it off with an Overall Top 10 of the Year. : D

One of the worst things on the planet is when a series decides to retcon that which came before it… Click to find out more, but beware of spoilers.

Yup. I’m there. Or at least, the second day of my little hands-on will begin in less than eight hours. 
You see the list of websites to the right of this blog post? Click on Save Points to read my rather short impressions of the games so far. I’m having an awful lot of fun here, I have to admit. My friends, mostly Nariko, are being their usual selves – hyper, bubbly and overly geeky. xD Like I’d ever want them any other way. We started heading off to Chiba at 8am this morning, and got there at about half nine. We wandered around for about ten minutes before heading off into the Makuhari Messe for some gaming fun. As you can imagine, I headed straight for Dissidia Final Fantasy first – spending about ten minutes playing it as the queue behind me grew insanely quickly. In the end, I had to stop. After all, I wasn’t the only person there, and my friends wanted to try some games out as well. I went back and played it again for about another fourty minutes overall across the day, getting to play as four of five of the characters. We spent most of the day in Microsoft’s half of the floor, playing a nice selection of their games. At about 1pm, we headed over to the food area and had some Bōkun Habanero (quite spicy, those).
After the Show ended for the day, we headed off to a restaurant nearby and I had Soba with sliced duck breast and negi all laced with mitsuba. Absolutely delicious. When we got back we started to play a few games that haven’t been localised outside of Japan yet, before sitting down and watching The Machine Girl. Darn, that film is awesome.

So… My first real attempt at a blog. I never really figured what’d possess someone to have one of these, but as time progresses I realise how useful they can be. You see, as the title proclaims, I have something of an overactive mind – so a mechanic such as a blog could probably bring order to this chaos. Or fail miserably trying. Anyway, I’ll be sure to keep you lot up to date with an awful lot of stuff going on in the world of writing, gaming, software, music, film, anime, manga… and a bit of Japanese stuff, too.
So yeah… Check back regularly, and you might find stuff of interest to contemplate. : D
Actually, I guess you’d like to know something about me, right? All I’ll say is that I’m British, 20 years of age, a novelist of sorts, an avid gamer and I like waffles. : D
