 | $10 Blog Solo
Worth every dime
| Entry: What kind of sick f*** really keeps record of this?
Well...seeing for once something exciting in my life today which I thought I may as well post on my blog as it is remotely related to blogs although warning, I doubt you'll care much for it.
It was early one morning at 11 am which coincidently happened to be today. From my subconscious trance which some people refer to as sleep I was awoken by a loud noise banging my door....lucky door. Anywho I then heard the dreaded words "***** WAKE UP!!!" (<- oh my name actually not swearing  )
"Ugh....it's only 11am" I replied wearily
"There's a package for you?"
-awkward silence-
"A package for me?" I said cracking a high
"Yeah from Amazon"
Immediately my heart started pounding well began beating rapidly -I'm not violent its just what the heart does- and why was I getting a package from Amazon?
I quickly clothed  and seized the package. I began shredding the cardboard box like a two year old slobbering. Doctor Horrible's Sing Along Blog DVD? Oh that's right, wasn't supposed to arrive till next week of something, I guess Yah!
2-3 Hours pass by. I eagerly put the DVD into my DVD Player (No shit herlock wait sherlock?) and sit down. Having watched it umpteen times I skipped straight to Commentary! The Musical (The commentary is entirely done in mainly singing) in moments I sat there chuckling like someone who doesn't like to use similes. I then watched various special features and hidden easter eggs (I even discovered one accidentally without the help of the internet). Overall that was US$10 well spent and provided me my little $10 Blog Solo.
Well I guess that's it folks and now it's Tomorrow so all of this happened yesterday...guess that says something. If it could talk of course and knew the English word 'something' and coincidently letters were highlighted so it spelt....

| | Talaria's Daily Rant
-Video Game rental's
| Well having not played the Wii in several months i decided to dust it off and take it for a spin. So I drove down to the local Video Rental store albeit because i have crappy internet and are unable to download iso's. There before me layed the pitiful wii section in the corner surrounded by the hundreds of Xbox 360 and PS3 titles. Nope couldn't find Wii Music, I'd forgive them for that as its only been out 3 weeks over here in Pal territory. So I look around for Mario Kart Wii, surely they must have it its been out 6-7 months. Nope couldn't see it. Inquire at front desk same reply "Nope, we don't have it sorry" said with a forced apologetic smile. I'm left to look at some Wii launch titles and some horrible shovelware. So I leave there and drive all the way out to a bigger chain of a Video Rental store. Oh look they're advertising some new releases for PS3 and Xbox 360, maybe they will have the newer wii games. But alas same result. So I go to another chain in the city centre, same result. Frustrated at this point I head home and decided to ring up the stores before hand, after calling several places from the Yellow pages with no luck I turned to technology. After all we are in the 21st century. Ooooh online video game rental service, first month free. I foolishly sign up and proceed to put the games i wanted to hire. Then later on i get an email, "sorry these title's have not been added to our library yet, please add titles which are currently in our library". To keep this thread PG i will cut out the scene of immense frustration and profanties being yelled and a stunned look from the Mormon's who had just knocked on my door. I then considered buying the games but retailing over here at around US$58-68 you can see why I modded my console. So bascially I am left here ranting, waiting a week or two for the titles to become available for me to rent online in which I intend to dump immediately to save me having to go through this ordeal again.
Notes:
-Currently in my country throughout its history Nintendo has never been that popular. While the rest of the world suffered Wii shortages and various problems, Wii's in our retail stores sat there gathering dust, while PS3's and Xbox 360's sold like hot cakes and not even the insanely popular Nintendo DS escaped the rath of the land of the long white cloud. The PSP sales here greatly out number the DS, Nintendo really is considered for kids here. Then lo and behold the country's Nintendo Distributor went into liquidation from lack of sales earlier this year, while everywhere else in the world was making $$$$$ from Nintendo. Leaving us a with some shortages for Mario Kart and Super Smash Bros Brawl which were just being released at the time. Thankfully we were saved when Nintendo of Australia took over as the distributor here and for the first time in awhile I saw a strong advertising front for Nintendo on the T.V and papers but I think it has came to late in the current next gen war for Nintendo to redeem itself with many people here one sided not even taking a look at what it has to offer as they just like the pretty High Def. pictures before them from their consoles. |

| | Into the Inferno of the rising sun
| Soon I will be making my way to the sacred land of the rising sun although for a very short amount of time  (About a month). Having been counting down the days since it was in the 200's and slowly getting more slack with learning my vocabulary I am eagerly excited about the trip. I've already brought a semi-decent camera for the trip (Sony DSCH10B Cybershot). I will be staying in Tokyo for a week and venturing elsewhere around the main island. Hopefully I should be able to pick up some Gyakuten Saiban merchandise from Akihabara  . Looking forward to the nice hot summer weather there, it's winter here and we've already had some snow. Well more on the trip later.

| | Looks what i gots me *hick*
| Well after a long day at work today on Saturday I left the store with a gleeful smile on my face as I sallied forth to EB games. After a long and arduous 2 min walk there. I purchased and walked out of the store with my white, lite and slim PSP. Once I arrived home I eagerly opened it and was a little dissapointed. The "R" and "L" buttons were floppy and the direction buttons didn't feel right either. But I shrugged that off and starting charging it. Gonna have to wait till tommorrow to try it. Then on monday I will get the CFW loaded on and then on Tuesday, hopefully my 4GB Sandisk MS Duo Ultra II will arrive. Overall I'm quite pleased with my purchase and hope to have many fun times. So far of got these emulators/homebrew for it:
-0.9 gbSP or 3.2 gbSP test 8 (Takka's unofficial build)
-Snes9x 0.4
If you know anyother decent emulators/homebrew post it here, it needs to be able to work with 3.90 M33 CFW.

| | Time for Justice!
Preview! Its like a review but before
| Entry Six:
Well as many of you know Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney has been released, now I've had mixed feelings about the game and whether it would live up to its predecessor. First thing that irked me is the the main character's name, Apollo Justice. It just doesn't have the same ring to it as, Phoenix Wright, and the originality of the name. Although Wright wasn't that original it still had a couple of puns in it thus making it pretty fitting. But Justice is just blatant telling you that he is some Lawyer/enforcer of law person with no slightly witty pun. Anyway enough of the ranting and more of the viewing...previewing  . I've played the majority of the first case so I do not have much of a great insight.
I inserted the Micro SD into my R4...the spring broke . After fifteen minutes of trying to pull the spring out with no success I manage to fit the Micro SD in. I started the game.
The menu screen of Apollo loomed in front of me. Not much of change just a different court room in the background. The game starts off with a nice smooth cutscene similar albeit to the ones in the first Phoenix Wright but alot smoother. Now we reappear in a vaguely familar revamped Defense Lounge. Now the graphics in this game have had a bit of change and are noticeable but just. The graphics are now alot smoother, less jagged lines and smoother transitions for animations. These improvements are nice at the very least and still retain the series feel, which is great to know they aren't trying to deviate too far away from the series legacy.
View of entire court room, noticabley smoother
Now I was dissapointed in the first five minutes as the script was lacking some humour or even something marginally funny and felt bland. I had horrible feelings that this game wasn't going to turn out that great as the script plays a big part in the game's genre. But by the first decisive witness I had chuckled numerous times and was starting to warm up to the game after a slowish start.
Now the gameplay is similar to previous installments with the usual formula of witness - cross examination - find contradiction - repeat (several times). Now the first case which is a basically a tutorial in disguise had a feature I liked, giving you the option to skip the talk on how the court room works. Allowing fans familar to the series to not have to sit there reading the stuff they already know. New gameplay features are investigating options using the button or stylus to, zoom in on objects in your court record and examine them at various angles to find hidden clues (which was shown in Case 5, Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney). Another knew feature is looking at witnesses body language and somehow using that to help you, I think it's pretty minor not much of a feature (I'm up to that segment in the case and are a bit hazy on it so will update post tommorrow sometime).
In the release thread I saw alot of people complaining on how they preferred previous games music than this. I actually quite like it  , yes it isn't as strong and as catchy as previous installments but they still fit the mood and there are some tunes that you will recognize and some new ones that are brilliant. For this game I reccommend speakers/headphones on as it makes the game even more enjoyable.
Overall, although I was skeptical at first, I am liking what I have seen so far and feel that it lives upto the previous installments and carries on with the same frantic court action that many people have either loved or loathed. Also this game is a fresh start so if there's any newbies out there coming into the genre, this game is higly playable without previous knowledge of the Phoenix Wright games, you might just not get some references to previous people or cases.
