This Quest Ain't On The Chart

Uncharted 4 is off the game chart of 2014 and so some say to buy the PS4 in 2015.
Hah! That's pretty much what happens every year...
They say there won't be any further words on the subject and miraculously, it pops out mid-year.
Who wants to bet on this?
Speaking of slim chances........
Will the PS Vita Slim be available soon in the west??
Or are they hinting on a new console?
A console that plays PS 1, 2, 3, Vita, 4, Xbox and iOS games, the PS SLiM?
An appropriate name indeed, because chances are such a console doesn't exist.
I can't help it but say I love the OLED but I like my handhelds lighter too.... =P
Why do you torment me so SONY.........gggaahhh.....
You too, Nintendo.....what's with Fusion? 
A DSi + 3DS is just a 2DS.....
It's all Maths dude....
And the non-upgradable Alienware Steam Machine?
AND the Razer Adaro series??????????????????????????
You're breaking my balls here!
It's never-ending!! *O*
Mu...s..t.....have....t...he...m....a..ll........
Ahhh well!! I can wait.......I'm still madly in love with my Kraken XD

Sooooo..........I don't know if this is good news or bad....
Plans for the Star Wars -Disney Style- 1313 have been scratched out...
But the movies are still on the way.....right......??
That means the nightmare there is still that =D
Or is there.........

As promised, some stuff on Bravely Default!
I think it's quite fun.
It's like FFIII with some Dissidia elements.
You use the default command to store brave points and the brave command to unleash swipes of fury.
As you can see from the 'amazingly high quality' shots I took....







First thing I thought of......Edea (FFVIII) in the Lindblum (FFIX) castle.
Why would anyone name their kid Ringabel?
He doesn't ring that much of a bell...........kind of looks like a young Setzer....
There's a fairy girl who tells you what to do next, lucky she isn't as noisy as Navi.....but it would be nice if she could talk...she's silent....or maybe I forgot to slide up the volume...
Our job is to rebuild the city or town, using StreetPass would make everything easier!
More residents will move in and so constructions take less time.
Sounds great? It's so hard..................................
There are quests to do while waiting and that's the fun part!
I've always enjoyed sidequests in games. 
Something to distract me from actually finishing the game, it's like procrastinating in-game, it's the best feeling in the world!
I've said this many times, me no like grinding (in whatever contexts possible).
However, I didn't get that feeling.......because the jobs were maxed up at around Lvl 5?
It could be that it's just the demo so maxing the jobs is easy or the jobs are Tier 1 jobs, there would be tougher jobs which need more points.
About the job system of this game, I like the fact that we can mix it up, using Ninja skills as a Knight.....
That is rather contradictory.....
I would prefer the job to be Bard than Performer........but eh! 
Sure, call me old-fashioned because I am. I only drink alcohol if it's brunch, none if it's true blue breakfast.
I say this game gets a 'Like' from me....or thumbs up or filled stars, whichever rating system you like best....

Have a good day!

Unleash The Wolves Upon Us

They are all coming, the UniVeRse has pulled them together....

The story of Riley and Ellie!!
Bigby in action!
Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD!
All to be united in February, just in time for my b-day, awww yeah...
Just a whole night of gaming and cake-binging, drink-binging....
Well, it's not everyday one turns into a crazy older version of his/her younger sociopathic self.
Gotta celebrate y'know? It's an achievement, to live this long and not get beaten up by people for being annoying =)

That DLC looks interesting, ummm.....she probably shouldn't bite anyone when the world has gone to shit...
It's not hygienic......I doubt anyone bathes in that world...
What if some of the spores in the air land on her neck and the biter ingests it upon biting?
I don't know how that works.......
The scene with David suggests that if you bite an infected or the other way around, one could get the hibby-jibbies....
What makes it more interesting?
This DLC will be released on Valentine's Day....
Just say it, announce it aloud, go out with your loved ones and bite them, give them hickies if you must/if you're hanging out with your partner and want to act like a savage....
Yeah, you can hang out with family on this somewhat special day without doing anything bed-dy, it's not just about banging...
We don't live in the world of Game Of Thrones.....relatives can't even hang out without succumbing to human instinct..........wait a minute, that does happen........
As we have seen/heard/whatever tickles your fancy, there is a fungus that can actually do that.
The cordy, (if you're into full names like Franziska, Ophiocordyceps Unilateralis) has been doing that for years to p.mantis/grasshoppers/etc......
Optimists/pessimists (this sort of thing can go both ways) say this cordy mayhem will never happen.....
I say it will....because as long as one thing is a non-inanimate object, IF it's a living thing, it can cross barriers...so prepare some weapons, put them on standby mode in your garage.
If you turn................hell yeah! Tear those humans to bits!

Bring it on Bigby!
This paragraph is full of questions, skip ahead if you want.....
What will we see next?
What's that Dum guy all about?
Is Snow still alive? I want to believe that.....
Something tells me she is....could be the pessimistic side of me...
Why is Belle being secretive?
Is she working as a stripper? Turning into a walker?
Beast is an abusive husband?
Doesn't look like it.....he's more of an abusive passer-by, mauling people he sees on the street.....
Is Ichabod a sugar daddy?
Don't bother with how I came to that conclusion.....it was a weird day...
The way he talked about Faith....but expressions in game like that are hard to tell...
Those graphics, y'know?
I can't see much muscle movements...

New games to look forward to....
Agent 47, here to rip someone's head off!
He's at the prime of his career, what does that mean??
Access to tools of higher grade and therefore more creative murder motifs!
Sega about to unleash Xenomorphs upon us in Alien: Isolation.
The monsters or aliens whose mouths have mouths of their own...
Do everything in your might to survive!
Don't make ridiculous decisions like those characters in those horror movies.....
A demon came that way! What's the logical thing to do? Head in THAT direction!
Shouldn't you be running away!??! Dang-nabbit!
Well then again, there would be no movie if they did that.....
The dude says this game will be a terrifying one because Mr. Alien is brutal and intelligent in a way that it responds LOGICALLY to the humans' actions....
So............................dear bladder, do your thing....
Destiny (Bungie/Activision) is pretty, I have to say...
Those screenshots look really cool...
Hope they are proportional to its gameplay....

I have some exciting news, not only about Bravely Default but my findings.....
I've been in the lab making up some Pt seeds....
And I got some awesome (maybe less but....still good) preliminary results on Friday =D 
I think I found something that I want to do for my PhD....
Yeah, I'm thinking too much, gotta focus on my current degree, haha...
Man, it feels good to have something to look forward to =)

New Year's Resolution

Welcome 2014!
First post of the year, back to gaming work, last year of my degree, YES!

Just the start of the year and already, there are news of hot stuff....
Talking about Project Christine and Razer Nabu.
I just can't get over them.................................................I want them both!
I think they are brilliant!
Look at them curves Christine is flaunting, no wonder they named it that.....
I was thinking Leviathan but all good.....Christine it is.
It's quiet that's the point that makes me hawt-diggity-dawg.
The desktops I have now are loud, they blow kind of loud.....no pun intended or whatever that makes you guys think of.
They are Alienware Aurora and ROG TYTAN.
It's not to the point of annoying but you know, it's good to have a quieter one.
Though, that might be a cue to start checking if there's something inside.......
They are brilliant nonetheless and I would recommend them to anyone =D
Moreover, Christine is upgrade-friendly, as I'm a lazy mofo, this is a winner.
Nabu looks fancy....but fancy schmancy, it's a great and useful product.
I can't wait to get it.

Playstation Now sounds good, there's always the connection speed problem but that can be fixed.
So...what has been going in the gaming community OTHER than the war of the consoles?
Other than people complaining about apparent bad, naughty theme like sexual violence in MGS-V....
The Halo senior art director left, time to replace him and give the characters sparkly anime eyes....
That would be interesting...
It's about time King Dedede makes an appearance in this game (SSBros) that is.....
If Kirby is in it, so should he...
The penguin, peacock, crow, duck with a beanie king.....
I just can't tell.....there are different ideas as to what he is....
Currently, I'm playing Bravely Default (D).
I have to say that it's pretty cool...
More on it in my next post...

I have to work on my first project of the year, synthesis of Pt nanoparticles for catalytic purposes...
What joy! Not sarcastic! I'll put pictures up! If anyone's interested! If not, scroll down!
I think they are appropriate for this blog, it's all machinery and amazingly long procedures to produce only a pint of catalyst which will be used to make more stuff like electronics....
Then I mess up and have to start over!

Anyway, what I got for Christmas? Remember the theme? NDS/3DS games?



Yes people, I'm shocked myself that I don't (didn't now) have HM - A New Beginning.
HM is a childhood series and I didn't get it the moment it was released. 
It's supposedly the best of all HMs too...
I can explain!!!
It was really hard getting it because I couldn't find it anywhere, it was sold out on Amazon/EB/etc and took quite a while to restock and I somehow didn't attempt to get the digital version....
So, thanks amigo! Don't know how you managed to get it =D
Etrian Odyssey, I was going to get that soon but now that quest is over XD

Be right here soon!
