E3 is coming up so I’m a little game-obsessed at the moment, don’t mind me.

The above images are from Kotaku’s awesome post on the setting up of the best video game convention that I have never attended (and possibly never will? it almost died last year, and could die again…). I didn’t love Final Fantasy XII, or X, but I must confess that I am so, so incredibly psyched for FFXIII. I love waiting for FF games to come out, and it hasn’t happened in foreverrr.

Also this post makes me drool.

AND another thing.

I played Rock Band tonight with my brother and sister for the first time in awhile. I used to be really really good at Guitar Hero, and Rock Band is way easier, but I still did SO shittily tonight. :grr: I partly blame my lack of practice, to be fair, but ALSO the strum bar on the Rock Band guitar is so fucked up! It has a part at the end that goes out, and is rounded, as opposed to the straight, angular strum bar on the Guitar Hero guitar (at least the one that I have, I don’t know about the newer ones). So basically the rounded part jams into my thumb, making it actually painful to play. So then when I get like 80% on a song that I would have gotten 99% on in Guitar Hero, I look bad!

Also Rock Band is good for drums, but the guitar parts SUCK. For some reason, they’re all very rhythm-guitar-esque, and therefore boring. And painful for my thumb. :mad:

    I’m always the singer when we play rock band, I’ve accepted the fact that those guitars hate me. Singing is more fun anyway. :whee: I like the new layout!

    Ahh I’m a total Final Fantasy VII (compilation) junkie, but I’m still looking forward to the new FFXIII … I’m actually waiting for ‘Versus’ because the guys in it are HOT :cheers: I’ve decided to read through all the news of E3 during the weekend. I don’t think I can concentrate on daily life when I’m following all the updates of E3 in real time*gulp* I’ve already heard about the new MGS Rising for Xbox only :dead: :cuss: and seen footage of Assassin’s Creed 2 – my heart started to beat faster, so hufff not so good. The Sony press conference will start in about 3 hours and 20 minutes :argh: I love to check out the latest news of upcoming releases, but it sure makes waiting for those games even harder … :sad:

      That’s actually a good idea, maybe I should wait for the weekend to listen to the 20394823084 hours of podcasts about E3 that I’m going to want to listen to…. I’m psyched for MGS Rising b/c I haven’t ever played MGS and I don’t have a ps3. Figure maybe it’ll be a good entry point? Maybe?
