Games:
I beat the Arcade mode of Guilty Gear Xrd -SIGN- using Sol Badguy. I like this whole "actually knowing a character's moveset" thing I'm doing where I almost always just mashed buttons as a kid. I had a line going where people could not end my reign with Yoshimitsu in Tekken at an arcade once and I really was just hammering away on buttons and moving the joystick everywhere. One kid called me out on it and being the goodie two shoes I was then, I threw a fight after that. But the more I've thought about it since, I've considered the fact I got away with that the developers' fault. Oh well.
Anyway, I mostly just went from Sol's Viper attack into his Gun Flame attack to keep the PC cornered and rack up combos. I think I forgot what his DESTROY move was though. I thought it was two half-circles and the O-button for all characters, but that was doing something else and I definitely entered that state where you either do your special or get near killed trying.
The Arcade ended on a cliffhanger, so I'll play Story next or I might just see who else I can get used to playing as and beat their Arcade mode first. Ky-Kiske was my main in X2 and I'm interested to see how this new Sin-Kiske person controls.
I also got a bit further in Rayman Legends as well. I'm going to go back to using Rayman, I don't like how heavy Barbara feels and controls. I forgot to do the challenge today though. Usually my goal is just to beat TheMart22, which I did last time. I guess if he played today, he wins by default. 
Life:
I finally managed to wake up at a decent hour today, which is odd considering I went out and had some drinks pretty late last night. We played a game called Bananagrams, which I suck at because it's basically Scrabble with a time limit and I hate time limits. It was really fun though, since we were all drinking and having a good time. I just don't do well rearranging words quickly and always get stuck with too many consonants.
Another first yesterday was the Design Editor not even touching the Opinions Page I designed for the university paper last night. Aside from two minor things she reminded me to do, I actually had something she liked just fine. Made my night and I was actually finished early for the first time in a long time. I guess I'm finally getting the hang of this InDesign thing.
Before going out, I had only had 1570 calories, 135g of carbs and about 142g protein, so slightly over my carbs by 5 and slightly under my protein by 8. But who knows after the Blue Moon, Ziegenboch, and Jim Beam double-shot with Dr. Pepper I had ... and pieces of pizza and ceasar salad. Whatever, I jogged a 5k in 30 minutes Monday, still lift weights and do cardio and was still only 169 lbs (hilariously JUST overweight on BMI for someone 5'9" like me ... yeah, I'm definitely not overweight because of fat and the BMI can suck it) this morning. I can fuck around a little.
Today I need to do laundry and prepare for my thesis committee tomorrow, so wish me luck!
What are you all up to? Also, question: So Apotheon and Transistor were free February PSN+ games, but do I own them as long as I have PSN+ or only as long as I have PSN+ and it's still February? Because if it's the latter, I better get on those games.
Sol is the only character I use playing Guilty Gear. I really should learn some other characters. I played Xrd only once. Using Sol, I beat about 5 of the com characters in arcade mode before losing. I was surprised I made it so far. I have a few of the Guilty Gear games, but I don't play them that often.
BMI is a joke. It will say a perfectly fit person is over weight. BMI is the real reason Americans are over weight.
I don't know if it's the reason, I'd tend to blame myself for when I was fat. lol The Food Pyramid accepted by the U.S. for too long might be part of it, because without grain makers lobbying to shape that thing, no one would any nutritionist advise you to eat that many carbs every day.
I usually played with Ky-Kiske in X2 and want to learn a few others, but some, like Venom, just aren't worth the hassle to me even if I love Venom's design and the fact he has a pool cue. Chipp Zanuff is a good one though.
I was told years ago that the food pyramind is very similar to the diet farmers use to fatten their live stock with. I hadn't had the chance to look it up that fact myself though. If it is true, no wonder there are more every weight people. Though, not every over weight person is unhealthy and not evey person thin is healthy. 
As long as you have 'purchased' the PS+ freebies for the month you should have access to them whenever you want. As long as you have a PS+ subscription.
What I do is that I access the store from my PC to guarantee that I add all the freebies to my download list. Just in case I ever get a PS3 again.
That's a thought. Thanks! I figured that's how it worked, but I wanted to make sure before stuff expired on me. lol
You only get to keep PSN+ games as long as you have PSN+ but there's no time limit at all. As long as you have PSN+ you can play them a year or two from now if you like.
P.S. You are probably entitled to a few games from previous months. BRB
Screw the BMI! Its making me go to the gym and be all healthy. I wrote that while eating potato salad, so the BMI can suck it!
Speaking of laundry I really need to actually start on mine. I'm running out of clothes.
In all seriousness, the BMI is not at all taken seriously among any kinesiologist, nutritionist, or plain fit person I know. MAYBE if your only goal is to lose weight and you are a short fat person, yeah, pay attention to BMI, but if you train to gain muscle it's a really stupidly inaccurate way to discourage yourself.
I started dressing real nice as my clothes started running out. Got lots of compliments. Might just buy more Oxford shirts.
Ok well that sucks. It used to be that they kept games available for several months at a time but now the offer expires after the month you are in. That doesn't mean you lose the ones you have, just that you only have the month to claim them or they go away.
I think Resogun is still free on all 3 platforms
My PS4 PSN+ game list is frikkin huge and I don't even own a PS4. LOL. This is what they've had on + for PS4 since the beginning. Not counting the cross buys
I'll look into Resogun. I can "buy" these and re-dwonload them later should they take up too much space, right?
What does cross-buy mean?
Yes, once you have "claimed" them i.e. put them into your download queue you can delete them and re-install them at will.
Cross buy means that you can buy it on one platform and you get it for at least one of the other two for free. I have a few where I bought the PS3 version and got the Vita version thrown in. Sonic and Sega All-Stars Transformed was one of those.
Cross-buy means that if you buy the PS4 version of a game, and there is a PS3 or Vita version you will have access to all versions. This doesn't necessarily apply to games like Destiny, but most indies games do have this feature.
This is how you should be able to access Rogue Legacy as a PS+ freebie on the PS4, eventhough the PS3 version is being promoted.
Isn't Yoshimitsu actually the one from Soul Calibur?
I did use to be a button smasher when I was a kid, but nowadays i'm actually trying to get good with fighting games.
He may have been, but he was originally a Tekken character.
And I mean ... you could always get good with button mashing. lol
With fighting games I always mash buttons and hope for the best.
You don't SOUND overweight. I mean, I weigh 200 pounds and I'm fairly thin.
Yeah, BMI is not the most accurate measurement of health.
Who's the final enemy in Sign? I'm just curious. It didn't matter what I tried against I-No in Guilty Gear X2 Reload. The fucking bitch was impossible! She'd unleash special attacks that'd take at least 1/4 of your life bar.... even when blocked! 
Sorry about the foul langauge Joe.
Ramlethal is the final in -SIGN- and she has an attack that basicall kills you and takes up the whole screen. Basically, you have to jump behind her.
