Part one of this series is a simple apology to anyone I've talked to about the XBox before. I apologize for saying it wasn't any good (I prefer its games to the PC versions of the games). I apologize for pointing out only its unreliability (50% break rate, 50% of those broke again). The newer ones are more..."durable".
Anyway, we purchased the XBox 360 Elite (120 Gb Hard Drive, HD cable, and two games we won't be rating: LEGO Batman and PURE). I'd rate the system itself NEARLY as high as the PS3 (as compared to the almost as low as I rated WoW) I would have given it before). We also have a total of eleven (11) games for it (if you count the Orange Box as 5 games, which it is).
Part 2: - Me - The Orange Box (all 5 rated as one collection)
Part 3: - Me - Left 4 Dead 2
Part 4: - Sumomo - Assassin's Creed 2
Part 5: - Sumomo - Bayonetta
Part 6: - Me - Mass Effect 2

Yeah.
I may not have been posting as frequently as I should, or have been in the recent past, but I'm feeling successful right now. I'm also very happy for a friend of mine for finding love. Why not promote her blog?
Doshite! Doshite!
There ^^ Her posts seem a little less random than mine (sticking to mainly one topic), but I'm pretty sure she'll branch off eventually and talk about something else. Oh, and she's been posting songs in most of her posts.
Lets see, anything else? Oh, I'm getting back into writing and drawing again, as I feel rather inspired.

Happy New Year and all that
Yeah, new year. Woo. Don't see what the big party's for, but I don't particularly care, either. So, anyone else think I need to post something good again? Well, you're stuck with my usual crap. Why am I hearing all these words come out in a drunken voice in my head? There's really no reason for that as I haven't had alcohol since the 26th (a Christmas present I got while we were wrapping other people's presents on Christmas Eve). So, why do I sound drunk? No idea. Maybe it's because I've been singing loudly all day for no reason and am starting to get lightheaded. It's not a big deal, to be honest. Oh, and if you're wondering why I've been singing, it started because I was accepted into the Wormwood Society Absinthe Association. I was singing Nine Inch Nails - The Perfect Drug (which has little to do with absinthe, save for him drinking it in the video. The proper way, at that). So it's time for another wasted post! Well, it's at least celebratory. And hey, the world all needs to celebrate something together (over a 24 hour period). So let's celebrate with a song about a dead son!
ALSO: In case anyone's forgotten about L'Art d'un Homme Perturbé, I've added two posts in December. I intend on adding more (I have stuff to show again), but for now, you'll have to just read Anne Rice's and my advice (Anne's is general information for new writers, mine is on character generation).

It's almost Christmas!
(I'm not really all that excited...same as celebrating Washington's or Lincoln's birthday...but different than MLK day because that actually has meaning to people. I'm not going to debate my feelings on Christmas, as for once, I agree (partially) with the religious nazis...as well as other Buddhists. If you really want to debate, bring facts)
The real purpose of this post was to get people into the spirit of Christmas...and promote [Dipdive], a media site owned by the Black Eyed Peas...if I'm correct, it's more specifically owned and run by will.i.am. So, enjoy this trailer of St. Nick and Kate plus 8 (which will run from 21-25 Dec.)!

New Story
I've started writing a new story that is completely unrelated to my book. It features a blind werewolf searching for lost love. I know, I kow, it's extremely cliché, but I like the way I'm writing it. I also know I should be working on my book -and I will-, but I've run out of ideas and inspiration for it. I'll get around to it eventually. That's all.

Karōshi Suicide Salaryman
Yes, you read that correctly. Karōshi literally means "Death from overwork" in Japanese (A growing problem in Japan, but some companies are taking measures to prevent/remedy this). The game is...kind of like that...well...
This game is the only game I know of where the entire purpose is to die. I don't mean this in the same sense as Demon's Souls, which is meant to prove how much you suck at gaming. I mean it's 50 levels of you dying. Some of the levels take a little thought, however, as you don't necessarily have to use the tools they give you.
If you are easily offended by obviously fake blood or the concept of suicide, I do NOT recommend this game. However, it is quite a good game. If I can get the Spoiler tags to work (I've forgotten how to use them, as they're custom and I used them once a long time ago), I will put a quick strategy guide, though I consider that cheating...and why should you cheat? But don't worry, it will be written clearly.

To save you the time of scrolling down the page to them, the controls are the arrow keys and the space bar. A few have other controls, like the one with the kitty.
EDIT: A reply that may or may not be spam was completely right that the act of suicide is a major problem everywhere in the world (though this specifically relates to Japan). Therefore, I'd like to amend this post with some information for those considering suicide:

Thanksgiving
This post really only applies to those in the US, but feel free to read it no matter where you are.
I've noticed that for most of my life, they've been advertising Christmas since right after Halloween, but recently, they've even started advertising before that. That's right, we're SKIPPING HOLIDAYS to get to one that, at least to most Americans, is THE HOLIDAY WHERE YOU GET STUFF. Sure, Christmas is the holiday of giving, but not to Americans. No, we (excluding those of us who don't celebrate it and those who celebrate it correctly) brag as children that "I got this and this and this and this and this REALLY EXPENSIVE thing!", not about "I gave such and such something they needed" or "I donated the money I was going to spend on gifts to a homeless shelter". While that's bad enough, we're skipping a holiday that, in my opinion, should be more important (than the holiday that most of us think of, not the religious one, for those who celebrate Christmas correctly. It's Jesus's chronologically incorrect birthday party, not the holiday you buy crap and get more from some fat dude in an ugly suit). We're skipping a holiday for GIVING THANKS for what we have. No, we go straight from GIVE ME CANDY! to GIVE ME TOYS! Now, we're even skipping the candy. No, that's crap. Even worse, people are celebrating Halloween the wrong day because "it's a pagan holiday", which is TRUE, but it's not the satanic one they claim it is...just because you celebrate it the day before and call it something else doesn't mean it's a different holiday. Sorry.
Okay, no more ranting. I apologize if I offended anyone. It was more to make people think before they make stupid decisions like skipping holidays or calling them something else. It's just that this part of the year pisses me off, especially when I'm not in the best of moods anyway...
Well, I'll add to this post so it doesn't end on THAT bad of a note. So, keeping with the theme of notes, here's a song with a few of those.
Black Eyed Peas - Missing You
I can't stand another night
Stand another night
Without you
Since you've been away
Everything don't seem like they used to be
Between you and me
'Cause I'm missing your (ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah)
I'm missing your love (love-love-love)
I'm missing your (love-love-love)
I'm missing your love (love-love-love)
I'm missing your love (love-love-love)
I'm missing your love (love-love-love)
Yo. Yo. Yo.
Everyday-Everyday that you gone
I'm singing that sad song
If loving you is wrong
Then-Then I must be wrong
Even-Even when I'm gone (don't go away)
Our-Our love is strong (don't go away)
You the one I want (don't go away)
You're my nuh- You're my nuh- You're my number one
Yeah, our love ain't goin' out of fashion

And glamorous (Miss kissin' you)
But I miss your touch (I'm missin' you - oh-oh-oh)
Yeah, I miss your touch
I spend all my time (Missin' you)
With you in mind (Missin' you)
My mind's on you

Maybe it's your lips
Maybe it's the way you shake them hips
Baby it's the way you do what you do
That got me all love struck on you
I'll be just like an umbrella
The way I'm all over you
I know the other voice be callin' you
But they just want a piece

I miss - I miss your love...love...love
