you spin me right round baby right round

I really like The Last Remnant. Except for Rush, he can die in a fire. But I keep finding excuses to play it (tonight is the third night in a row that I've considered staying up and playing for an hour or so, but UGH SO TIRED). I absolutely LOVE the idea of the battles being you commanding a small army (whose numbers grow throughout the story), although I'm not entirely sure I understand how the battle system works. I generally mash A and hope for the best, heh.

It reminds me a lot of Tactics Advance, I think because you can pick and choose from a bunch of people who you take with you and so on. Also there is item crafting and I don't know about you, but I LOVE THAT SHIT.

I am working on having at least one all woman union. Thinking this will work since I just picked up my first female leader (Emma aside), and most of my generic grunts are ladies.

(The designated Bad Guy, looks-wise, reminds me of Funny Valentine from Part 7 of Jojo, and that makes me lol when he turns up on-screen).

Apparently there were a lot of complaints about the Xbox version of the game but I don't know why? The thing with the textures loading is nothing I haven't seen in other, better received games. I'll admit the slowdown in battle is annoying, although I've only had it happen badly on the one day in one dungeon. Rush's flag (or whatever that thing is that hangs over his arse) glitches a lot for me, but I just find that hilarious (I mean, after all the glitches I experienced in ME2, this is NOTHING. Also I find glitches hilarious (unless they're game-breaking) so...yeah...)

David is kind of pretty? Although what the heck is his accent because no, just no.

In other news, I decided I'd crochet a sweater. I knitted one, almost a year ago, and it took two weeks and four Silent Hill LPs to knit (in fact, because it's shades of red and black, it sort of makes me think of Silent Hill anyway??) So I am thinking that a crocheted one will be a lot quicker. I have a basic pattern that I think I want to do that I downloaded the other night, and today I remembered that I have enough yarn! I bought four balls of this really nice blue marl mix from a bargain bin over a year ago, and then shoved them away because I was saving them for something special. I think a sweater is pretty special, isn't it?

I might watch some more Silent Hill LPs while I make it, since it seems to be the right thing to do (or I could watch another game LP, but I've only seen LPs for 1, 2, 0rigins, and Homecoming). Or I guess I could watch the rest of Gurren Lagann or Adventure Time. (BUT I DON'T WANNA *stamps feet*).

Anyway, I can't think about it right now because I have an amigurumi dachshund to finish, as well as some monsters I'm making to sell, and also a lighter weight hat because Awesome Cable Hat is too hot to wear when my head's cold right now (and I'm not wearing a hoodie or sitting under my quilt. Ugh man, maybe I should crochet me a hoodie, actually).
