Interludium

Decided to do a quick browse of Persona 3 english fen just to see if - in true fashion - it'd hate me yet again. It does.

So... am I the only one who thinks P3 main character is most seme? D:

And while I'm talking about P3, was there ever an "official" name released for the main character? I named my hero Suou Shura, because I am unoriginal like that, what.


In other news, World of Warcraft has finally spat my soul back out. There is only so much dailies you can take before you get sick and tired of doing them just for the gold when you no longer have anything to use your gold for. I mostly only log on for raids these days, as well as special events, like the Brewfest Festival this month. And so, I will regal you with a screencap of the best Brewfest quest there is. Getting rid of pink elephants, which you can only see when you're dead drunk.


The screen is fuzzy because I had to be drunk to see the elephants, I had the effects turned off (because looking for a tiny rabbit while dead drunk and having a fuzzy screen hurts your head), but I turned it back on to take the screencap. I was no longer in a drunken stupor when I took the cap, otherwise the screen would be fuzzier.

And the things one does when bored. Elyrianna (selfaro's paladin) was running my lowbie mage through ZF and on our way out we aggroed every damned mob remaining in the instance.

The Witchhunt addon was spamming like crazy, (the big yellow text on top) so it covered the huge line of mobs that was in front of me and running after Ely. It was rather funny to see. And excuse the messy UI, my UI is set up for my warlock (my main) who has a ton more skills at her disposal than a level 46 mage. Hence all the empty space at the bottom.

I reallyreallyreally wanted to use spectacled!Izy icon, cause it amuses me greatly. So I write this half-assed gaming post to give me a reason to do so. Well that and I was just full of randomness, and what I really needed was an excuse to make a half-assed gaming post.


Silent Hill 5 - You are Alex Shepherd, a war veteran returning home from an overseas tour of duty to investigate the mysterious disappearance of his younger brother, Joshua.

Haha. And Silent Hill delivers what Fatal Frame refused to. Brothers! :P


Also, seen while reading my clan's message boards in Kingdom of Loathing:

I've done a bit of reading about the new chefstaves and, holy wow, they look awesome! The second tier staves are just amazing, and they're all one-handed. I'm looking forward to upgrading my MP regeneration gear sometime in the future, if I end up ascending again.

I haven't really been playing KoL for a couple of months now, and I just LOLed when reading that, because it sounds so much like something someone in WoW would say. (Never mind that tier 2 gear in WoW is now dung.)

KoL has added so much new continent since the last time I played it's a bit intimidating to start again. Each ascension became so routine before, but I'll have to familiarize myself with the new stuff this time around. It will be fun, just wtfwhatisdis for me. ;P


Aion: Tower of Eternity: New Aion video footage released at this year's E3. The graphics surely doesn't disappoint. While I've always intended to play Aion once it becomes available (in English), I've been of the mind that I'd try it out, not like it very much and then stop playing it. At the moment though, I'd be willing to level a character just so I can travel around the world and go sight-seeing. I kid you not. We get a floating city in the sky! Tell me which race in L2 gives you that! :P

Though NCSoft, LRN2MAC. Because Athene cannot play otherwise. :(

I finally finished the billboard design from hell, so I celebrate by puttering about and posting Zera caps for those who wanted to see how it looked in-game. I had over 100 screencaps, I trimmed it down to 12. XD Most of it was me capping like crazy on the dance emotes anyway, or trying to get a good battle cap.


The only time you see him smile is when he dances. XD

I would have flooded this post with caps trying to get all the nice shots of their dance emotes, as Zera has the best dance emotes I've seen yet in any MMORPG (though my exposure is limited). Well the male characters have funny dances, the females aren't as amusing to watch. Anyhow, since screencaps don't do the dances justice anyway, I went and took lousy footage of the dances with the digicam. Video quality is lacking, but you can see the dance clearly enough.

I swear it's worth downloading and watching. They're like 10 seconds of sheer entertainment each. Each file range from 3-5mb in size, so they're not that big. *prods you all to download and watch* The male mage dance remains to be my favorite. XD

Downloads:
Male: warrior | summoner | ranger | mage
Female: warrior | summoner | ranger | mage
Extra: female ranger taunt emote, cause I thought it was cute

( On to in-game screencaps. The game itself is just as pretty. )

So, you know how there are tons of things you'd love to make an LJ post for but which you're much too lazy you can't decide what to talk about first? I have that problem constantly, so I solve it by not posting at all. And I smite you if you say I'm just being lazy. Even if it's true. Anyway, I promised Bhex I'd eventually share the prettiness of Zera to the flist. This isn't exactly an attempt to pimp something, since the game is currently only available in Korean open beta, and I don't think a lot of people would be interested in coping with a game where they can't even read the login screen.

Although before anything else, SUIKODEN V MAKES ME HAPPY. Gameblog some other day.


But first I bring you the prettiness that is [Zera].
For the curious, that's the mage/summoner/ranger/warrior respectively.

Worth downloading and watching just for the eyecandy? Hell yes. (And good music.) Screencaps behind the cut are taken from the two movies linked above. Will post in-game caps another time.

Full gallery [here].
I also posted two batches of Lineage 2 caps [here] and [here] that I just never bothered to link.

( I flood you with eyecandy because I can't be bothered to write a proper post. )

Back to playing SuikoV for me.

Wanted to clear the folder out of old screencaps, so beware image heavy post behind the cut.

+ Rhombine is m.e.'s character. I've just been playing her the past week since m.e.'s not had time to log on.

( Click for the pretties and the ghei. )

Soooo... anyone on my flist want to play? ^___^

Also, finally got my PS2 back. <3
