Catching Up

Just a quick rundown of stuff that's been happening recently, for anyone who's interested.

- It may have taken longer than I would've liked but my brother and I finally saw Captain America: The Winter Soldier. We both liked the movie a lot, and as someone who was also following Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D., it was cool to finally know just exactly caused the huge shift in the show the past few weeks. Speaking of which, I also really liked the season finale and I hope the next season's even better.

- Had some cash to spare for the first time in a while, so I decided to pick up a copy of the 3DS version of Conception II (because I could get the Vita version, but then all I could do is look at it since I don't own a Vita). I'm digging the game so far, though with the self-imposed restriction of not using the Internet as a guide, I can't help but think I'm making the wrong dialogue choices at certain points. Oh well, I'm having fun, I can hardly wait to see what messed up ending I've chosen for myself! My brother also made an attempt to pick up a copy of A Link Between Worlds for himself, but for whatever reason the guy at the counter decided to give him a used copy (with the previous owners save file still there even!) instead of the new copy he specifically asked for. So that was a bit of a headache, but at least there wasn't much of a hassle with him getting a refund.

- Also helped my brother add to his ever-growing manga collection, and downloaded some new music for myself to boot! I've grown to be a big fan of the stuff from OCReMix and it felt good to actually contribute a little money to their Mega Man-themed album, For Everlasting Peace: 25 Years of Mega Man. I've only listened to it once so far, and I've got nothing but good things to say about it, I like it a bunch.

Man I want to play the new Zelda but I want to finish the original SNES one first, which I never played until recently.

Hope you are doing well!

I haven't finished it either, I made it pretty far into the GBA port but got stuck. Need to see if I can find it again and give it another shot.

Get any good manga? I'm interested in getting into something new but not sure what? Might just have to jump on the Naruto train

I don't know about new stuff that well, though my brother's been telling me for a while now to start reading Berserk or Attack on Titan as soon as I get the chance. As far as stuff I've read goes, I'd go with either Soul Eater or One Piece.

If you do go the Naruto route, I suggest only reading up until a certain point. I used to be a big fan until that point and it really dulled any excitement I had going for it.

Soul Eater looks interesting, I'll check it out. Have you read any of Bleach? I've read the first bumper volume but am wondering if it gets better. So far it's only OK and not really gripping me

Yeah, I've read a bunch of Bleach, and it does pick up after a while. Though from there it becomes increasingly repetitive and has one of the worst manga villains I've ever had the displeasure of reading about.

Hmm, in that case i'll avoid getting more of it. I added Soul Eater to my Amazon wishlist so i'll grab it sometime. Thanks for the tip

Music is always good. I'd like to play both Link to the Past and Link Between Worlds at some point. 

I've been meaning to watch S.H.I.E.L.D., but I haven't gotten to it yet.

Conception 2 looks very interesting to me I must admit I have a weakness for Atlus and NIS games im curious to know about this game so after playing it make sure to do a blog on it. :)

I'm still enjoying the game so far, I'll be sure to write something up when I'm all finished with it.

Oh that season finale of SHIELD was good. I'm hoping that the Agents of SHIELD make a cameo in the next Marvel flicks.

Game with those dialogue options...man every choice I make I always wonder if it was the right one. Good for you to not use the internet for tips. I try and do that with every game, and usually it works.

I think I feel the need to play some more zelda games. I'm way behind on the series and I just got down buying all the retro mario titles off the Wii's VC. I think it's time I moved on to the other nintendo franchises for nostagia sake.
