I decided to skip last week’s overview since Wordpress was ditzing out at the time. Well since WP 2.5 now supports Gravatars, do be sure to sign up for an account. The icon of your choice will show up when you comment here or at any other WP 2.5 compliant blog with the feature enabled. It saves me the trouble of uploading a bunch of icons to the server for now.

No anime this week. Seriously. I’ve been playing games in my free time though. No More Heroes on Wii was an awesome game despite some glaring design flaws and tedious money farming. Strawberry on the shortcake!

Finished two paths in ONE as well. The protagonist is super unlikeable, but the main story as a whole was actually pretty depressing. In the first playthrough I somehow went down the Nanase path from the intended Misaki or Akane routes. It always seems that when I decide with my gut instincts alone in a bishoujo game, I pick the tsundere… Maybe I secretly like tsunderes…? That’s absurd! Urusai! With help from a walkthrough, I went down the Nagamori path the second time around, and it’s really shocking what you have to choose to get her. Next up is probably Akane to better understand the Eternal World aspect of the game.

At the urging of Summonmaster I gave Eternal Fighter Zero a spin. It’s a fun little doujin fighting game featuring the early Key gals (ONE, Moon, Kanon, and AIR). Gameplay is fast and generally balanced. I’m eagerly looking forward to the next rendition of the game which will hopefully feature Clannad, Planetarian, and Little Busters. That’s a huge roster if all those games are included.
