...made even crappier by rampant spoiler-censoring.
With a few minor editions I could turn this thing into a shipper's manifesto. Why is this an essay. Arguing my case for a rare ship from a game that no one has played.
I've been waiting to write this since I finished the game, haven't I.

Today I willorder pizza make food myself since delivery from my favourite place is not available today, damn, and play video games until I fall asleep. Because this past week has been hellish.

and today on my video game rage journal!
this battle system is so fucking frustrating and idiotic I don't even have energy left for raging
just.
It has actually made me cry.
(...No wonder they appointed the main character their leader! Even if he's the youngest, inexperienced in battles and new to the system. You'd get better results than every one of these fucking AI-controlled party members if you let a dog sit on the controller.)

WITH MY FISTS
WITH MY FISTS
( Shadow of the Colossus, spoilers )
If you've completed the game, you should probably read this. Fanfiction, yes. But it works.
Persona 4
AKA the game that ate my life until I realized I didn't even like most of the characters*, and I'm still uncertain about what I should think about the plot/narrative. Both the Good and True endings were ridiculously, teeth-rottingly cheesy, and many of the implications the game cast on gendered behaviour were uncomfortable at best. (Here is a rant on the issue by someone much more eloquent than me.)
(*pretty much the only characters I liked by the end were two very minor supporting characters and the main villain. The rest I had grown tired of. Especially you, Yousuke.)
On the other hand, the game had excellent dialogue, mostly excellent voice-acting (though no one could pronounce their name), and every technical decision from colours to sounds was just so fine and consistent and stylish that it was a treat to play. I could spend minutes just flipping the menu open and closed. Seriously.
In case you've happened to finish the game, I'd recommend this fic here (SPOILERS).
Hotel Dusk
...should I ever meet the localization team, I'll offer them a free glass of whiskey, is all I'm saying.
Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne/Lucifer's Call
Everything I ever could have wanted in a videogame!!, etc etc. Over halfway through the game, started not a week ago, oops. Possibly going to have nightmares over Aradia's first appearance. Also--
Mysterious old guy in a wheelchair: So I lost these candelabra that grant access to my labyrinth (of Amala). Help in getting them back would be much appreciated!
Labyrinth (of Amala): *presents itself*
MC: Salvador Dali, WE MEET AT LAST
(Though the Second Kalpa reminded me of Silent Hill more than anything.)
