Viva Disgaea! (and other games)

Recently I’ve noticed a new useless habit I’ve developed.  I buy video games, although I haven’t been playing them much lately.  In the last month, my rationalization for such behavior was that with planning the wedding and working on my dress still, I simply had no time to play games, and would get to them when I could.  I have time now, so I’ve decided to start playing some again.

To that effect, I’ve started playing Disgaea 3 once again.  I figure I should probably try and finish a game that I’ve already started before I start on a new one.  At least until the end of next month, when the new Metroid game comes out. I imagine I’m about halfway through the story, but I quickly got stuck on a new map and will either level up to try to beat it, or look up what I should actually be doing to defeat this map.  I don’t really think grinding is the complete solution, although it’ll probably make the maps after this one easier for me to defeat.

As for portables, I finally found my copy of My Japanese Coach after digging around for it for nearly a month.  I know that’s not really “playing” but it also serves as a re-entry into my self-study of Japanese.  I looked into taking classes recently, but unfortunately they’re just too expensive to be an option for me right now.

I think once again I may plug my Playstation handle, look me up if you have a PS3!  My name there is Kaeryo.  I’ll be happy to friend you, and maybe even play a game competitively or cooperatively, although I suck, so you might keep that in mind.  I was pretty startled recently to find that I friended a coworker on PlayStation Network, and we have absolutely NO games in common!  Not a single one!  I have some odd taste in games though, so I’m sure that accounts for most of it.  Plus, I don’t buy most new games until a year or two later when they’re much cheaper.  Pretty much the only games I buy new are either Disgaea or Metroid.
