Salmonings...and The World Ends With You
I seem to be popular this week. I wonder if I would have gotten salmoned again if I had gotten on last night?

I didn't get on the computer at all last night, too busy playing The World Ends With You. And thinking "Damn, it's just like Kingdom Hearts, except with better music and no Dis-crap". But the three main characters look exactly like the three from KHII in the fact that they seem to have the same hair and eyes. Neku = Sora ; Shiki = Kairi ; Yoshira = Riku. The personalities are totally different though. Neku is an ass. XD

I LIKE YOSHIRA- HE GIGGLES. XD

And how can you not like a game where the combo move battle cry is:

Yoshira: Follow my lead!
Neku: SCREW THAT!
*cars fall on enemies*

The gameplay with your partner though, is EXTREMELY COMPLEX. I mean, I heard people complain of it, but I had no idea it was this hard! basically, if you don't immediately set your partner's play to Autoplay: FAST then you will die a lot if you cannot do two things simultaneously. You are expected to control Neku on the bottom screen, using the stylus and play a sort-of DDR-esque thing with the C-Pad on the top screen for your partner's play. If you don't hit all the right combos, they do not attack or even really move. I just set my partner onto the Autoplay: FAST all the time, because I can't multitask like that. I mean, look at this:

It's not that the game isn't fun, because it is! Some of the extra things, like buying the right brandname clothing to wear in the correct part of Shibuya to increase your chances of winning, are WEIRD. And I have yet to bother with them. I think my favorite part of the whole game, besides getting to use flair to fight things, is the wonky dialogue. Seriously, translators: You tried too hard to sound cool. I like Neku though, he's a pottymouth for sure.

Oh, and I have to admit, it's always a little weird hearing one of the characters say "Neku" since it's so close to "Neko". Very weird.

You're not old! But, you probably don't use AIM, meaning you'd have no reason to get confused and visit http://community.livejournal.com/themissinghat/profile?mode=full to figure out why strangers are IMing you for no reason (or not, in this case). Read the FAQ on this community's Info page to get a better idea of what it all means. :D

Actually I do AIM, I'm on most all day every day. I guess I've just been lucky (knock wood) and this hasn't happened to me yet.
