Whoops!

Sorry for the delay in posting again, I've been super duper busy! I spend a ton of time at the LAN center now. I've made a lot of friends there, and it's fun just hanging out and playing whatever. Lately I've been playing a lot of League of Legends! Awesome game. I'm still not that good at it, but I'm slowly learning!

So I guess I haven't posted since I went on my trip. I had a great time, and it was nice to see old friends and family again. I need to take trips more often! While I was there, I bought an awesome Sonic robe on clearance for super cheap, and a Scott Pilgrim doll on clearance as well!

A couple weeks ago, I finally finished playing all the way through Shatter. The amazing thing, though, is that I finished the entire game without using a continue! I never thought I'd be able to get that achievement, but I did somehow. I was playing at the LAN center, and since the computer I was on has a second monitor on the wall that everyone can see, a big group was watching me play. It was awesome. I more than tripled my old high score!

There's another game I've been playing that I finished a few days ago, and that one is Ghost Trick. It's a fantastic game for DS, and if you're a fan of the Phoenix Wright series, I think you'll like this one (and even if you're not, play it anyway!). It's made by the same team, and it has a similar feel to those games in the story and music departments. The gameplay, however, is completely different (and quite unique!). Basically, you play as a ghost, and you have to possess and manipulate inanimate objects in order to save people from dying. There's a lot more to the game than that, but that's what the majority of the core gameplay is like. One other thing to note about the game: BEAUTIFUL ANIMATION! Oh gosh is it amazing. I'm a huge fan of animation, and stuff this impressive really blows me away. It's so smooth! I can only find one example of it online:
Do not view this with Google Chrome. It screws up gifs and makes them slow. Use another browser, it's worth it!

I rewatched the movie Stardust the other day. I hadn't seen it since it was in theaters, and I had forgotten what a great movie it is! If you've never seen it, I definitely recommend it. Here's a trailer:

The movie apparently did really poorly at the box office, due to bad marketing. It needs more love.

I think I had more to say, but I'm too tired to remember right now. I'll do another post soon. Also, big announcement is almost ready! Prepare for it! Oh yeah, I guess I need a new poll. I'll do that tomorrow.

  1. Damn i completely forgot about Ghost Trick! Heard about it on a podcast and it sounded really interesting! I don't play that many handheld games anymore (don't know why...maybe because I still have to finish a lot of console games) but I'm definitely going to buy this game.
    Very nice post Jonna! Keep up the good work!
