My copy of the Collector's Edition of Street Fighter IV for the PS3 finally arrived. Been wanting to play this game ever since the first teaser came out. I haven't played a Street Fighter game in quite a while, so I'm a bit rusty. But I'm told that pulling off Hadokens is like riding a bike.

That's right, people. My 13th month pay just kicked in and I got me a Wii, b!+(#es! ^_^
I originally planned to buy this in December— when I thought I'd receive my 13th month pay—but I guess Christmas came a little early this year! ^_^
* This foolhardy purchase may or may not be related to the previous post.
My World of Warcraft Free Month has expired. I am now forced to put Verdandi to sleep. Well, at least in hibernation.
I shall return to Azeroth when I have finally finished my backlogged personal projects... which will take a while. Meanwhile, in the Real World I just got back from our office outing in Coco Beach, Puerto Galera. I will try to post a review here and at Pao's review site. But if you've been following my current track record... don't expect too much.
WoW Side Effects: Why Massively Multiplayer Online Games should have Disclaimers
I really should learn to pace myself. Being a self-proclaimed obsessive compulsive, I like to keep my life on a specifc schedule. Migrating to the Mac has thrown me way off schedule. Adding World of Warcraft to the mix simply obliterated that schedule. And now, it's the end of March. And I have yet to make a Birthday Greeting Card for the March Celebrants. I'll try to put it up in time. But the way things are going, it might be up in April. And no, I do not plan to merge the March greeting card with April's. That would be just wrong. (cough, cough) But do give me credit, I haven't dropped my friends to play WoW yet. Right, Tracy? (nudge, nudge) At least, I think I haven't. (whimper)
Anyway, I better get things back on track before they get any worse. Besides, I still want to have a girlfriend. It's hard enough without WoW in the picture. Then again, I really didn't need WoW to screw up my life. My procrastination usually does the trick.
... [sigh]
As for my suggested disclaimer for WoW: Warning. Will cause severe changes in life priorities. Induces massive purging of social contact and/or intimacy with friends, family and various other tangible people. Don't get us started on your working habits.
Huzzah, Fellow citizens! I've just finished a quest in World of Warcraft and I must say, it was damn fun! This is why playing with other people is always better than playing solo. The Dead Mines was the first real major quest I've done in the game. Thanks go out to Eloris, Plokoon (Joppet), Syclosus, and Hanisbeast in the Drak'thul server for making this quest mucho enjoyable (just in case any of you happen to stop by my humble blog).
There was some drama in the end. But it was all good. Until the next quest then! Huzzah!
And here's a screenshot of the group before the final battle:
That's me dancing in the left next to Joppet (Plokoon). Yes, I play a girl in the game. The men all look so damn ugly. (No offense to WoW players with male characters)
Ah, the good old Mario Brothers. How I remember being thwarted countless times from defeating Bowser and saving the Princess. Enter Jeff Ninneman and Jason Harmer who not only mock my failure to finish the game, but do so in 6 and a half minutes while racing each other.
Oh, by the way, this is my 20th post. If anyone actually cares.
I'm not a big fan a post-Lion King Disney. Everything else that followed that movie was either crap or mediocre. So when the first Disney-Square Enix game, Kingdom Hearts, was announced, I was extremely skeptical about the quality of the game. I mean, who would want to play a role-playing game where your partymates are Goofy and Donald Duck? But like many others, I was surprised and quickly became a fanboy. (A quick background for you non-gaming geeks out there, Kingdom Hearts merged the worlds of various Disney Animated Movies with the Final Fantasy games and made an impressively cohesive game)
Most of the Disney voice actors reprised their roles of their respective Disney characters. The Final Fantasy cast had interesting voice choices (Mandy Moore as Aerith, thank God she didn't sing). They even got Haley Joel Osment to play the lead character.
Anyway, what I'm getting at is that the game was so successful that they produced a sequel. What stirred up the fanboy in me even more was that they were not limiting the tie-ins to Disney's animated franchises! Now, not only can I play alongside Aladdin or Mulan, I'm playing with Capt. Jack-fucking-Sparrow and Tron!
They recently announced the voice actors who will work on the English version of the game. James Woods (Hades), Ming Na (Mulan) and Haley Joel Osment (Sora) are reprising their roles. New additions in the cast include Christopher Lee(!), Zach Braff reprising Chicken Little (yes, that little bastard is in the game), and Rachel Leigh Cook(!!!) playing Final Fantasy VII's Tifa.
Yes, I am gushing with fanboy excitement right now. Kingdom Hearts 2 will be released for the PlayStation 2 in the US on March 28. It won't come soon enough.

Goodbye social life! Azeroth, I returneth to thee... ^_^
Yes, I did it. I gave in. I'm pathetic. I needed a cheap (Cheap?! Since when is 39,000 pesos cheap?!) thrill. Don't look at me, I'm so ashamed!
