These past few days I've been playing at The Kingdom of Loathing. It's fun in a strange way. If you're into net lingo, rpgs, etc., it's worth a look at. An example of how insane it is would be that the currency used in the game is meat. I currently have a level 5 disco bandit, which is sort of like a thief but not really. I'm not sure lol. I'm trying to make money by selling dry noodles, Knob Goblin perfume and asshats. o_o

Anyway, the Suikoden Tactics game I talked about before is called Rhapsodia. The portrait artwork is nice, but to be honest, I dislike the graphics style they used here, which is fairly common among next-gen consoles these days. It's the mix between 3d and cel-coloring style graphics, which really annoys me for some reason. That isn't to say that I won't play it when I get the chance, though. I just wish they'd either stuck to a traditional 3d like they did with Suikoden III or IV, or with traditional 2d sprites [on 3d plane background] like Disgaea or Final Fantasy Tactics or whatnot.

Our ISP was down for a few days. I think from Saturday or Sunday up to just yesterday. It went up for a little while last Tuesday, but not for very long. Their dial-up server wasn't responding. But it's okay now so like yeah. o_o

As for Pump It Up news, I'm currently working on a routine for Caution and Solitary simultaneously. I don't know if that's a good or bad thing, like if it'll affect my ability to memorize steps for either song... But anyway I'm getting more comfortable with getting down, like kneeling and such. I'm also feeling better, in terms of my numerous minor injuries resulted from dancing without warming up first. So hopefully by tomorrow or Saturday I'll be in good-enough shape to put on a show. 8D

Ez2Dancer news: we were misinformed before. The Time-Out arcade in the Megamall didn't close after all. Instead, it's undergoing renovation. The Ez2Dancer machine is still there, but sadly when we last saw it last Sunday, it was broken (weak/no sounds, broken sensors/panels on the left side).

Finally I bought fingerless gloves yay (called driving gloves by its label). It really REALLY helps in protecting my hands from injuries when I play PIU, because sometimes when you slam the panels with your hands, it might hit one of the screws or a little bit of sand or something, like what happened to me before, causing little injuries to your hands that really add up in the long run. With the gloves, you're protected from that. Doing handstands and stuff would really need them. I'm thinking of getting knee supporters too, but maybe that one can wait.
