"I want to impale a real priestess soon."
1. Look at what I found. I was following a link for Eyeshield 21 plushies and then I saw that Alvis figure on the shops' front page instead. *_* It is different from the Al figure that was included on the limited edition boxset. But what is really making me want to cry is their Digital Devil Saga 6 figure set. Look at how nice they look. And of the demons! ♥ *covets* I would love to get it, except I really can't afford to spend on figures right now so I woe.
2. More Hero Heel on the December 2005 BexBoy issue. This makes me ridiculously happy, as of the very few BL titles I've liked enough to follow as of late, my BL sentai raburabu is right there on top with male pregnancy crack BL aka Sex Pistols. Oh, and everyone should go and buy all 26 volumes of Komatta Toki niwa Hoshi ni Kike! by Abe Miyuki. (I will now make it a point to say this every time I mention BL manga on my lj, as I have been meaning for over a year now to pimp this to my flist but I am always too lazy to write up a proper post.)
3. GIP my killer bunny icon, because once upon a time, Silent Hill was my favorite survival horror series. And SH3 (difficult puzzle mode) is still my favorite when it comes to game puzzles that will hurt your brain. Seriously, what other game requires you to be familiar with Shakespeare's plays?
Aaand brief gamepost. :P
Fatal Frame 3: Finished my first playthrough, currently on my second at the moment to fully power up the cameras and to familiarize myself even more with the game so I can breeze through nightmare mode (I have to play through hard mode anyway before nightmare unlocks). I can appreciate it more now that I can understand it. XD I can be very obsessive about unlocking new features and costumes for the Fatal Frame games, so I suspect I'll continue to play this well into the new year.
I can also officially say that it's much more fun to play these things with friends the first time around. First time playing of Fatal Frame 2 was still the best one yet. I end up being more relaxed when I'm playing on my own, so FF3 didn't hold as much of a scare factor for me, as compared to being really tense when I'm playing it along with friends. I'm weird like that.
Rhapsodia: Loving it very much. I've not played an SRPG in a while and Suikoden Tactics' battle system is simple enough that it's an easy reintroduction to the genre. As much as I like Kyril, its winning point for me is definitely the returning characters from SuikoIV. As disappointed as I was with some aspects of the game, I did like a lot of the characters in it, so it's great to see some of them return in Rhapsodia. Also, HeroIV (who I shall start referring to with the 'unofficial' official name for him as Lazlo) gains a much needed personality. I only wish I didn't have to dig for treasure so much though. I hate missing items, so I end up treasure hunting through the entire map 75% of the time.
Magna Carta: Well it's eyecandy I'll give it that, but the biggest thing it has going for it (for me at least) is its evil evil battle system. I'm in love already. With the battle system, not the game. <3 It is being ignored currently however while I play both Rhapsodia and Fatal Frame 3. Strangely enough, it will have the longest section written for it here, because I wrote impressions on it as a reply to someone on the forums so I'm copy/pasting.
( Spoiler-free. Mostly talk about the battle system. )

Fatal Frame 1 & 2 played in nightmare mode, finished within an hour and a half with an S/SS ranking. This was fun to watch. XD
