Yesterday I went out for once, and actually stayed out for half the day without any terrible anxiety. Since I'm rather tired right now (I struggled at writing a RPoL post all through the night... sigh) I'll just summarize quickly for now.

We bought the PS3 Genesis game collection. Jon wanted it 'cause he's a dork. :D It's the best collection I've seen of Genesis (and some Master System) games yet. Has all the Phantasy Stars, Shining Force 1 and 2, all the Streets of Rage games, Sonic games (of course), etc.

I also preordered Sims 3, which is coming out June 2nd. SO CLOSE! I can hardly wait!

Then we went to see Terminator Salvation. Which I actually enjoyed. I've heard it wasn't so popular, but I stopped paying attention to what others think a long time ago. The movie suited my tastes. I liked the look into the war with the machines, the Terminator and vehicle designs, and particularly the character of Marcus. There were also a couple moments where I was totally thinking "+3 stunt!" heh!

We did some walking, then settled down at a restaurant that's open late at night and had a nice meal. All in all a good day... but now I should stop depriving myself of sleep and try this RPoL post later. :P

Came back with some video games. :O I decided I'd put most of my Christmas money into a game shopping spree. Among other things I have Luminous Arc 2 and Rhapsody for DS, and also Baroque for the PS2. I got the only copy I have EVER seen of Nobunaga's Ambition for PS2, also. :D

I was really indecisive ;.; there are SO many games I want. I think I will go grab Persona 4 too (which Aurora on LJ very kindly reminded me about) and a PS3 game. That's *plenty* of games for the next few months. I tend to actually stockpile them... I'm a bit of a game packrat, but sooner or later I DO play them. ^^:

I keep wondering if I should've just grabbed Persona 4 instead. I was just less inclined to get it right away because it's newer and more likely to still be in stock. (The video game chain around here, Game Buzz, really favors Atlus games for some reason.)

Mmm, I spent a while today playing in this awesome new MMO: Atlantica. It's a turn based strategy MMO set in some sort of alternate real world (maybe 1500s ish?), and I am enjoying it enough that I think it'll be a keeper. :D More about that later.

Oh and I went and messed with the PS3 for a bit also. Jon and I finished Metal Gear Solid 4 a little while ago, and since it's our only game (right now) we were poking around with the Playstation Store. Downloaded some free demos, including Star Wars: The Force Unleashed, which is *really* great fun to play. I had a blast with the controls, and marveling at the very real physics engine (force grip, whee!)

But first the bad stuff...

We finally got our Playstation 3 from Amazon! My father-in-law bought it as a gift for my husband and me. An early birthday present, I guess. ^^ Jon's birthday is November 10, after all. *hugs her husband* I will have to write a thank you for my inlaws. Hmm!

Gah and it's cold right now. I wish I could snuggle him actually. Brrrr. Fall weather. It's actually colder in this apartment than it used to be in our old one, but that's probably 'cause we have so many windows. Going to have to bundle up and wear blankets and stuff when it gets winter-y.

Ah but back to the topic. We bought Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots to play with our shiny new PS3. So we may be kinda, like... very much absent for the next couple days. :D At least until Sunday 'cause I have Wardragon then, and also arranged a meeting in DR with a couple of friends in the White Rose.

Edit: Phantasy Star 0 is coming for DS in Japan. o.O I am half miffed because it's more PSO ish than pre-Phantasy Star 1, but... I still want it. :P Eventually!
