*sigh*
Yes, that horrible demon (extremely funny joke, you'll find out later why) that takes the time and motivation out of, well, everyone who has to do, er, basically anything at all at a certain timeframe - and sometimes when it just has to be done (and one knows that it has to be done, because otherwise it can't be really called procrastination, but "having a good time").
Isn't it ironic that I'm talking about procrastination while I should be writing my novel, so in a manner, I'm procrastinating?
Besides, I don't really know what I should say about procrastination, other than that it sucks and stuff gets too interesting and attractive so that I haven't been writing my novel for two days - just been thinking about it. And I know, I know, this talk about how I haven't been writing and I should motivate myself to writing and that I'm scared I'll never carry through probably annoys you by now, because that's basically all I talk -- and think -- about currently.
Didn't stop me from killing lots of demons (see, see, here comes the joke) on Devil May Cry 4, which, if I may flaunt, has brilliant graphics due to that graphics card father bought me. Therefore, next ensues the drooling over videogames paragraph. Or two. Let us see...
Somehow, even though I've been banging at it (hee-hee) for some while now, I still suck. A lot. Especially when you have to stop playing Nero (link opens to a picture of him - a picture that is totally misleading [and kind of a spoiler, but not really], because that's him in his devil trigger mode and he's really not that cool, pretty much on the contrary, as he's a whiny bitch) and take up playing as Dante (so, shameless fangirl here, but DAMN HE'S AWESOME), because ok, so Dante is awesome and has been around for a while, therefore is faster and stronger and other forms of more awesome than Nero, but Nero has this convenient grabby arm that I basically use to fly around, grabbing enemies and merrily slamming them into the ground before they know what hit them - and when they do, off I go again. Dante has nothing like that, so suddenly, I find myself under attack from a LOT of places. Especially those Alto and Bianco Angelos (yep, pic again, and both of them are enemy types in the game - and Altos are a lot cooler than the Biancos, but also more difficult to kill) with their damned LANCES and SHIELDS and with Nero, you could get behind them as easy as any, but Dante has to just keep thrusting stuff against their shields and hope they don't KEEL MEEEEE~
... Ok, so maybe there's a strategy somewhere, I should try using Trickster mode to move faster than they do, but MY REACTION TIME IS NOT THAT FAST. Besides, getting behind an enemy is kind of difficult because half of the time, you have nooo idea whatsoever where you're going, because the game's meant for Play Station 3, and for the easier camera controls of that thing. When I play, I already have one hand occupied with keeping me moving, and the other trying to hit everything that moves, so I'd need a third hand to rotate the camera when it, in unpredictable (and usually really inconvenient) places and instances jumps into another angle entirely. And then there's just plain stupidity - like the first level you play with Dante, they actually throw you, before you even properly know how to CONTROL the character, into the midst of a pack of (ok, lesser, but WHO CARES IT'S THE THOUGHT THAT MATTERS) demons, with the camera pointing straight at Dante. And the wall behind Dante.
Er, hello, how does seeing the character I am controlling (except for witnessing the fact that he's gorgeous and how happy I am for controlling him [oooh Dante, I could control you all day long] instead of that whiny bitch with an incredibly cool arm) help me any?!
Cough.
So, that was my fangasm of the day. I might continue going on about the Studio Ghibli movies (by Hayao Miyazaki) I've seen today, including Princess Mononoke, The Cat Returns and Totoro, but I think your brains might melt if it went to that...
As a conclusion, I've done nothing productive today and I may be losing my grip of reality, but hell, I've had a lot of fun. *grins merrily*
Oh, and as an afternote, I'm considering moving to Wordpress - I'm not entirely sure yet, but keep on the lookout for news about that. I'd obviously link you all to there, but yeah~
