[Phoenix Gamma]

Started the Prince of Persia reboot the other day. I know a lot of people are down on it, but I'm kinda enjoying it. Yea, the Prince isn't really a prince, and he's far from Persian (well, he's straight-up Nolan North) but I kinda like the conversations he has with Elika, and the way they interact in the gameplay is kinda...cute. Like swinging on the same pole together, or that little twirl they do when they switch sides standing on a beam.

I want a magical chick with little clothing to follow me around and help me do stuff. Except she wouldn't give me shit like Elika. Basically I just want the chick from I Dream of Genie.

Oh right, the game's pretty good too. Collecting seeds is pretty annoying, but it's fun to go through a level after you heal it. I like the way Prince isn't really "locked in" on where he can and can't go, even though you technically only have a few options, there's still a way to cheat the game sometimes if you're clever enough.

Tried Alien Swarm, cause it's free on Steam. Because I wanted the TF2 hat for playing two missions. Yes, I'm a bad person. But the game's actually kinda fun. It's just an overhead version of Left 4 Dead, except the zombies are aliens, and the character you pick effects your weapons and party role. So like TF2 and L4D having a baby that's 3rd person overhead. Hard to get a game going, though, and friendly fire means I (the medic usually, cause no one ever wants to be the medic and I don't want us to lose) gets whooped harder by my own stupid teammates than the aliens.

I'm back into SSF4 too. Trying to learn Ibuki's combos, but they're really fast on the input. Cody's another one I'm trying to learn, cause he's awesome.
