WELP. nothing inFamous related AT ALL came out of E3. I'm super disappointed, to say the least. They even name-dropped Cole in the start of the conference and it got me so super excited AND THEN......nothing. Not even a reveal for All-Stars. The new characters turned out to be Nathan Drake (from Uncharted ofc) and the Big Daddy from Bioshock. |:

No Overstrike. Nothing really for Vita except the new Assassin Creed game...

Quantic Dream did announce their new game which looks pretty interesting. I have somewhat of a personal problem with it that I won't get into here as I'm sure I'll get over it... but yeah. I'd like to know more about the plot. :I It looks impressive so far though.

However the one game that did catch my attention? WATCH DOGS. From the Ubisoft panel. When it started with the explanation trailer I was like "what am I watching. what is this. what" but it was super interesting...and it panned out from there and by the end I was trying to throw money at my TV.

( trailers under this )

the news about PS Vita is driving me crazy. I just... I cannot resist.

I redeemed a bunch of vouchers from various rewards things I have and will soon have $110 in amazon monies, that, plus whatever my return is (hopefully more than $200 :|) will buy me a PSVita without dipping into my pay check money at all! This will feel like a gift to myself, essentially. And it couldn't have come at a better time!

PS Blog posted about Resistance: Burning Skies and they showed a tiny clip of gameplay during a live stream thing a bit ago. I ... I need it.

I know it seems funny to be excited about a Resistance game after being sad that the series was over... but well, this is the first step Resistance is taking away from Insomniac. I am interested to see where it goes and while the character development in Resistance: Retribution left me confused, the gameplay was still pretty fun. I am hoping this one will be good too. I'm sure it won't be an Insomniac game, for sure, but I'll take what I can get.

Otherwise I will be content to play Lumines for all of time.

oh yeaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh im excited.

so yesterday was pretty good. i ended up getting a migraine before work was over. when i got home my parents convinced me to take a vicodin for it since we were supposed to go out to eat. i did and surprisingly it worked. i did feel a bit zombie-ish but it didn't completely zonk me out either...which was ok.

ANYWAY, it was a pretty good day in general...:3 I got some neat shirts and some vitamin water and like 900 different snacks from trader joe's from my parents (y so good, trader joe's.) and i got $50 in gamestop munz and a neato playstation pin from my brother. desu ex, you will be mine i got a starbucks card from work, and some more snacky things... also eyebrowaddict got me the r3 guide (artwork yay) and a super cool inFamous 2 shirt. :UUU

got a lot of wishes from various friends too (thanks 2 you all.) including on some forums i go on. :'D i was kind of surprised i got a pm and a few visitor messages and all. everyone is so nice.

but like, ngl, the highlight of my day that had me flipping out was this:

.....i-i kinda did ask for it in another tweet, but usually they just ignore everything i send. SO I AM STILL RIDICULOUSLY HAPPY.

and i count this as the virtual brofist i wanted for like, ever. SPP APPROVES. AND THEY WISHED ME A HAPPY BIRTHDAY.
i wish embedding wasn't disabled on this video because it accurately portrays how i feel about this and i use this clip all the time but its the best thing ever, is why
