Wow, fun week.

Got to see one of those midnight screening of The Dark Knight. Absolutely amazing film, the Watchmen trailer was also quite mindblowing.

Other than that, my Kyon action figure finally got delivered and I put a bed down in the basement to escape the heat.

Got really distracted recently with movie-watching and/or real-life, so I'm not going to bother posting updates on my status in the MGS games.

I will however post completion times, as I indeed plan on beating the remaining three sometime soon.

5:19 PM: Completed Tanker chapter.

Total playtime: 8:12 (MGS) 1:03 (MGS2)

3:09 PM: After countless setbacks and distractions, finished Metal Gear Solid.

Current game: Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty

10:42 PM: Booted up SoL, currently enduring a trillion cutscenes.

11:11 PM: Defeated Olga, saved.

Total playtime: 8:12 (MGS) 0:31 (MGS2)

8:47 PM: After several pathetic missteps while gathering items, I reach the broken elevator in the communcation tower. Fourth save.

9:48 PM: Finally finished disc one.

9:58 PM: Started disc two, made fifth save.

10:52 PM: Defeated Vulcan Raven, saved.

Total playtime: 5:58 (moving at an embarassingly slow pace)

2:54 PM: Successfully infiltrated Shadow Moses, obtained some weaponry, defeated Revolver Ocelot.

3:20 PM: Defeated annoying tank boss, made it to the nuclear warhead storage building, saved and quit.

10:41 PM: Got the PSG-1, battled Sniper Wolf, survived torture. Saved and quit.

Current playtime: 3:44 (taking a bit longer than expected, but I haven't skipped a cutscene or codec call)

Akagi's been quite a gem so far, although Kaiji is a much more likable protagonist. Loving the visual metaphors in this show more, though, even more unsubtle.

Now I'm embarking on a Metal Gear Marathon, gonna play all four MGS games and hopefully complete all of them before the end of the week (shouldn't prove too hard given my past completion times).

Gonna finally get back to finish Akagi, Kaiji's sheer amazingtacularness (plus the bits I watched of the Washizu Mahjong arc) convinced me it has potential.

As usual, an image bearing no relevance to the above text.

Shit was so cash.

Now to kick back with vidya gaems and snack food.

Damned sister and her loud annoying friend staying up all night and barging into my room to borrow shit without warning.

Can't go to sleep now because it's too damn bright, so I guess I'll just have to hit the hay early tonight.
