Now Playing - Juli 2018

Tearaway (PlayStation Vita)

Just been playing some games with a friend, same as usual (Ice Hockey, Double Dribble, Track & Field II, Pro Wrestling) plus a new one, Ghosts & Goblins.

Net Yaroze Collection (PlayStation)
A Dog Tale and Blitter Boy

Sonic The Hedgehog (Mega Drive, played on 3DS as part of the SEGA 3D Classics Collection)

Guilty Gear XX The Midnight Carnival #Reload (PC)
Also called Guilty Gear X2 #Reload and Guilty Gear X2 The Midnight Carnival #Reload.
I haven't played much Guilty Gear at all, just the original on PSX a little bit before this one.
I didn't like the original very much, I found it to be a very typical and generic anime 2D fighting game, not bad per se, easily better than many others like it, just not interesting to me at all as I strongly prefer 3D fighting games.
This one is quite a lot better in every aspect over the original on PSX, it plays better, looks better, sounds better, has a better character roster and has better controls with more moves.
I'm still not into 2D anime fighting games like this, but at least this one is fairly good by the standards they go by.

Honey Peach (Entertainment System)
an awesome rock paper scissor hentai game from the 90s, nuff said really, you rock paper scissor until hot hentai babes lose all their clothes, it's just awesome

Rubik's Puzzle World (DS, played on 3DS)
Some minigames similar to Mercury but not as good, though some are decent, and a really poor Rubik's Cube mode with a lousy camera, all topped off with inaccurate touch screen controls for everything making every step a hurdle, making sure you're never actually having any fun by accident, because we simply can't have fun with Rubik's Cube game, that just can not be permitted.

Juli 11th:

Was out shopping a little today and picked up some stuff.

PC hardware:
Trust GXT 155 Gaming Mouse
Trust regular mouse without "cool" name with numbers and stuff

Other:
a pack of various electrical parts

What really made today special was the fact that I got stopped and asked to show my bag before I was allowed to leave the store in two different stores, it's never happened before ever and now twice in one day, I dunno maybe I looked unusually criminal today? I don'ät know, all I know is I won't be going to Jula och Net on Net anymore, they think so lowly of me that they treat me like a common criminal then they have lost me as a customer, I've been going to both those places since the 90s and this has never happened before, they know me, I've never shoplifted or stole anything in my life, I was honestly shocked and offended and even more so that it happened twice like this, I'm still in shock over it.
If this is how they choose to treat their longtime customers then fuck em, I'm out, no more, I will take my business elsewhere, I won't force them to take my money ever again!
