Time for a quiet fansplosion here.

This game is SO. BEAUTIFUL. If Abyss looked like this (and it was on its way there) I would just play it over and over and never bother with another game ever again. XD

I'm up to chapter 4 and my dormant classical music nerd has been truly awakened! I really love how elements of Chopin's life and the world around him have been intertwined into this crazy near-death fantasy land. If you told me at ten or twelve while I was learning Chopin that I'd be playing a video game with him as one of the main characters one day, I totally wouldn't have believed you.

This game also keeps bringing the canon gay pairing to the forefront. What the heck, game?!

...♥

(P.S. Our ridiculously porny Phoenix Wright fanbook is now available for purchase!)

...This game has the strangest interludes, I swear. Right now I'm investigating a theft, Phoenix Wright-style!

And I have a gigantic penguin in my party. It only has one attack, but IT'S A GIANT PENGUIN.

Dammit, I am going to fangirl here because I can. Most recent favourite scene, paraphrased somewhat:

LUKE: Are you ready?!
ANISE, MIEU, GUY AND JADE: We're ready! ♥
LUKE: Then let's go to the Radiation Ga-- Something about that didn't sound right.
JADE: Details, details! Let's get going~

Also expect moar of this in future. )

We now possess a bloody huge HDTV, but are still waiting on component cables... I look forward to less blurry ToA as I head through the last dungeon!

More Gizel; maybe spoily? It took me 35 or so hours to see this outfit.

Sketch + colour )

I'm certain I've missed a bunch of stars. orz But maybe I'll replay the game later this year.

Gizel this time!



I've heard a lot about his second outfit but haven't seen it yet, so he's stuck in his first outfit for now. >_>

Ooooh, day three of a five day weekend... maybe I can squeeze another few hours of Suiko V in.

Another update in the same day, with art! This is miraculous.



Georg ftw. ♥ As [info]ruaki said, he's a total dorkus in II but he is way too cool in V. :D~

I'm liking it. Liking it lots. I'm almost surprised, because I was getting worried that I was going off RPGs.

It's Belcoot! Sorry if you've seen it already. 8D

Well shit, I haven't posted here in ages. HAVE A GANT.



I'm still recovering from a bout of the flu, so I stayed home. Apart from sleeping and rolling around going "aahh hurts", I've played through the first chapter of Gyakuten Saiban 2 with the English translation. Despite being a Miles fangirl, Phoenix and Gumshoe are always good value. XDDD Especially Phoenix. Oh Phoenix~~~

Speaking of Miles, I think I'm getting my laptop today. :O EXPECT CRAZY ARTS IN FYOOCHA (well, maybe once my tablet arrives too).

And speaking of all of the above, I was already tossing around the idea of doing a small run (like 50 max, which is about half my usual run size) of the PW doujin as a really deluxe doujin, but now I have an excuse! Now to convince myself a metallic paper cover is doable... oh, who am I kidding, metallic paper all the way.

I don't normally follow RPs in my fandom, but it sure is brilliant when [info]gyakusai_rp fun just happens to spill into regular comment threads on people's journals. I LOVE THIS FANDOM. XD

Even if I'll never be able to look at a tuna sandwich the same way ever again.

Happy new year, everyone!

This game. Is eating. MY BRAAAAAAAIN.

Possibly not worksafe? )

Sorry I've been so quiet on the art front in general; I think I've kind of overextended myself lately. Hopefully I'll regain some sanity in the next month or two!

Whoa man the DMC yaoi fandom just went wanksplody while I wasn't paying attention. And thank god I wasn't paying attention.

O_O

In ozzaa news, I'm still meandering through DDS2 whenever I feel like it, and had a brief flirtation with The Sims 2 DS but the fucker keeps crashing on me. I'll beat both games into submission eventually (yeah, like when I STOP DRAWING MILES EDGEWORTH ALL THE TIME).

I'm almost finished! I'm halfway through Episode 5 now, which is the last one. They bring in the funky forensics stuff for that episode since it's the extra one they added for the DS... jolly good fun!

Picture in progress be here. )

Unrelated, but I know a couple of people are Wild Arms fans... I picked up the Alter Code F artbook at a convention last year and it's one of the most beautiful artbooks I own. I did a few super-huge scans for Ka recently, so have at them! (They're like 300-400k each.)

JIOAAH:GAJFDSZJAFFASDFFF.

I've completely put DDS2 aside for this because I'm addicted. My Nintendogs are lucky they're getting fed at all.

And I can't write much until you know, a couple of you get to Chapter 2. Then the spoilerful babbling behind cuts may commence!

I just started playing this and I don't want to overload the LJ flist with my babbling about it... YET.

I know Vera's playing it, but why the hell has nobody else I know been playing this game?! The dialogue is an absolute cack, the drama is incredible and the main character is just so adorably daft I want to hug his head. Plus I'm convinced he's gay because he kind of groans at breast-boiyoing tactics from witnesses. Gay with the other 24-year-old lawyer in the game, preferably.

Expect serious amounts of fanporn for this one in future. >_>;

Hahahaha WTF I haven't posted in ages.



Hopefully I'll find time to colour this in the next week or so! But I keep saying that and never mean it, so don't expect too much. >_>;

11:48 pm - Harvest Moon: More Friends of Mineral Town
HARVEST MOON FOR GIRLS GET.

It's the GBA version. I haven't played it much, but winning features so far are:

1. You really are an OL type doing the Seachange thing.
2. The opening sequence involves a beautifully interactive exchange with the mayor that may well involve more wanton violence than any Harvest Moon game, ever. And it's all because you're a pissed-off girlie.

The bad thing about HM is that I've talked to other girls about knocking up the girls in it for so long that... well, I have no idea which guy to go for! I'm sure things will sort themselves out though.

This always makes me go "lollerskates": someone grabs one of my pics of, say... Ash Crimson or Zelos and Kratos... and then posts it on a ridiculously straight forum (like, uh, snk-capcom or IGN). I don't mind that they've done that, since it's not like they're pretending they drew it or anything. The kicker is that they accompany it with something along the lines of: "Awesome - they don't actually look gay in this pic!"

Ah, the poor kids. I almost feel sorry for them. XD

Obviously the universe realises I've been having a crappy day because it's been throwing delicious ToS-fic at me left, right and centre! :D~
