Saints Row IV ReElected. This series gets me having the time of my life every time I play -- it's hugely crass and funny and makes no apologies to anyone. If Seth MacFarlane made GTA, he'd make something like Saints Row.
How not to be a dark lord: the answer to that is a terribly interesting answer that involves an almost Jedi-like adherence to keeping oneself under control and finding ways to be true to yourself in a way that doesn't encourage the worst parts of you to become dangerously exaggerated and instead feeds your better nature. Also, protip: don't fuck with Alchemy or strike up any deals with ancient Japanese Shinigami gods no matter how tempting the deal or how suavely dressed the Shinigami is.

Puyo Puyo Tsuu on PS2, with a desire when I get free time again to play some Sam Sho, and some Panel de Pon (not the US ounterpart Tetris Attack).

After putting it off for years, I finally started Ninja Gaiden II (360). I'm on chapter 4 so far. It's fun, but the camera is awful. Starting to get used to the controls, but it just seems like you can't cover very much ground when you need to evade quickly, like on the chapter 3 boss.

So far, so good, but I'm still just dreading the point when this game officially hands my ass to me. I don't know when it'll happen, but I know it's coming.
It's like Who Wants to Be a Millionaire, but instead it's Who Wants Fried Chicken? I do.

Ninja Gaiden Sigma and Sigma 2 were pretty great Vita ports that I prefer to the originals to this very day. I kind of hoped a Sigma 3 would be released that ported the enhanced version of Razor's Edge, but Sony was too busy murdering their own handheld with a hatchet and framing "the market environment" for the murder.

Gaiden II does not pose the challenge of its predecessor. Specifically not GI on hard mode.

Heh, that's...disappointing and relieving at the same time. Just got to Volf's castle, and I'm still learning moves. The only thing I've really been using is the Dragon Sword with Izuna Drop, Flying Swallow, OTs and UTs.

I still gotta get out of the Souls mindset of slower, more methodical combat. One weird thing that has seemed to help with a few bosses I've gotten stuck on (like the lightning guy, can't remember his name) is to just forget trying to learn enemy patterns and just be aggressive as hell. Can't believe it actually worked in a few spots.

If all else fails, spam windmill shuriken and flying swallow.

Also if bosses corner you or there moves take a long time, try either evading by off the wall jumping followed by downthrust when Hayabusa has invincibility frames, or long winded charge attacks timed right which allow invincibility frames also.

I think the bosses in NGII are supposedly harder though, maybe aside from Alma(?) Aida(?) or what's her face from I.

Bloodborne & Samurai Warriors 4 part 2!
Standing here, I realize
You were just like me, trying to make history.
But who's to judge the right from wrong?
When our guard is down, I think we'll both agree
That violence breeds violence,
But in the end it has to be this way.

(like the lightning guy, can't remember his name)

Alexei I believe his name is. Yeah he's a piece of work in an upper-class kinda way--Very prideful and arrogant.

Got back into playing Muramasa rebirth for the Vita and trying out the other chapters that I downloaded last night. I'm getting a kick out of the Demon child scenario. It's like one of those anime stories where the guy tries to hit on a beautiful woman but insted ends up proposing to someone else when he's not looking, and it just goes downhill from there with the antics, lol.

They really outdid themselves with the IOS release. Really cleaned the game up a bunch. It also handles much better than the VII release. Now please give me VIII and i'll be all set!

Checked some bootleg hacks of King of Fighters 2002, and revisited my dear CV Chronicles

In "10th anniversary version" or "KOF 2005 unique" bootleg versions, expanding the existing parameter of original version characters is actually an interesting idea, but player version of Rugal sucks (The motion of Bead Destruction and Kaiser Wave are as slow as taking shit, Genocide Cutter only 2 hits)
The boss version Rugal seems normal, but defense level is paper level (like player version) when controlled by players. And in Practice mode, if Boss Rugal chosen, player Rugal will come instead. I think there's a Boss switch that keeps the Boss Rugal with normal/boss level defense is unique to CPU, but that's nothing important at all. Both version of Rugal in "2005 unique" sucks.
Also I like the VA of 2002 Rugal because he's the same person who did Dracula's Japanese VA in SotN and I can, actually, feel some Dracula in it. It's a shame that Rugal's VA changed to a new-recorded one in 2002UM.

Norio Wakamoto was the voice of not only Rugal, but M Bison as well. He also does a lot of anime characters as well.


As for me, Valis games.

Was it III or IV that was on PSX?

I thought it was cool but had plenty of lag.
