Needed to de-stress after a very, very long and exhausting week full of visits to the hospital to see my ailing mother and lots of headaches at work, so I fired up Rock Band 3 for the first time in a while.
Not too shabby for not having played in months I guess.

Nintendo just dropped a ton of info on Animal Crossing 3DS today, just follow the link. The level of new content seems pretty amazing - because there weren't enough things in the series to piss away time with already.
Animal Crossing 3DS video and info blow out -Destructoid

I don't play Rock Band, but considering it says you ranked #4 I'm guessing that was pretty awesome.Originally Posted by Icemage

It's pretty good, yeah.I don't play Rock Band, but considering it says you ranked #4 I'm guessing that was pretty awesome.Granted, Youth of the Nation isn't a particularly difficult song, but I'm using a keyboard controller to play a guitar chart... and neither one is the instrument I normally favor (that would be the microphone).

OK, I dug up who the developer was for Style Savvy. Syn Sophia is the developer who is formerly known as AKI Corporation.
Yeah, the guys that made WCW vs NWO, Wrestlemania 2000 and WWF No Mercy on N64 and Def Jam Vendetta on the PS2. I played the crap out of Wrestlemania 2000 and it always blew my mind that THQ dropped them from the WWE games in favor of all these other hit-or-miss studios that have have inconsistant results since then.
They kind of make sense for this game, though, since the Create-a-wrestler mode kept me pre-occupied for days. I had just as much fun with that has the gameplay. I mean, this was back in a time where most licensed games were junk and this aside from Goldeneye and a couple others like Spiderman on Playstation were standouts for not making a popular IP suck. Its not much to look at now, but you can see the detail and attention they poured into that game;
Now I feel like I have to get Style Savvy.

Torchlight 2, League of Legends, and hopefully soon.. X-Com.
I burned through Torchlight this weekend. The final boss is bullshit. I beat it, but it's still bullshit.
The infinite random dungeon feature didn't really keep the game alive for me after that, so I tried rolling a Vanquisher and got about halfway through before burning out. It's a good game, but I burned out on it.
The whole thing left me itching for more so I tried the demo for Torchlight 2 and was hooked. Any game that gives me a ferret with aviator goggles named Pancakes is pretty tops. The Torchlight franchise really does feel like Diablo all over again, even more so in the sequel.
I'm also very much enjoying the fact that the original heroes return in the sequel, especially the Alchemist.

Picked up Code of Princess. I looked sadly in Dishonored's direction because I wanted it as well, but I realized I'd either have to trade things in or give up on my Wii U pre-order to get it and I want to stick to my guns on that pre-order. Its been a pretty amazing last few weeks on releases. Not a tidal wave of them, but barring RE6 everything of late has been quite solid. Dishonored sounds as though it evolves what was done in Deus Ex Human Revolution and Bioshock.
Code of Princess I didn't really set too high of an expectation for, but was pleasantly surprised by what I'm getting out of it. It very strongly resembles Guardian Heroes in that its an beat-em-up RPG with varying planes to hop back and forth into. The story is pretty standard but the wit and acting of the localization tends to pick up the slack. The much ballyhooed outfit of the protagonist (or lack of an outfit, as it were) is actually the target of many jokes. The princess is dense and sheltered, but also kind and warm. She also seems to think she's wearing a beautiful flowing dress when she's wearing less than Leina from Queen's Blade.
So far she's picked up a thief, a necromancer and a bard on her journey, and they're just the tip of the iceberg on playable characters. It does seem to get a little choppy and sluggish when the enemy count starts getting close to Dynasty Warrior levels, but its not too bad, just noticeable.
Also, I was wrong about who's doing the OST for this one. Its not Basiscape, its Ace+, who was also recently responsible for most of Xenoblade's soundtrack.

Also, I found this on a blog and thought it was funny:

Playing through Castlevania: Rondo of Blood as per suggestion; the Virtual Console one because as cool as Dracula X Chronicles looks, I can't stand playing my PSP any more.
Holy hell is it hard, but a good kind of hard. Felt awesome beating the Stage 4 boss after 2 continues, the first one was just trying to get through the stage itself. I am loving the soundtrack though, so it's like, who cares if I keep dying -- I can keep jamming!
Stage 5 is the easiest one yet, but Death is no joke. Those constant flying scythe. It's either take the Throwing Knives and have an easier time on his first "form", and or learn to dodge better to use the Holy Water on his second. Decisions~
Shame it wasn't translated to English. I suppose I could always read a script later on. (For what little voice-acting there is, anyway)

You might want to play Castlevania 1 too if you're enjoying Rondo of Blood. You'll recognize a couple of throwbacks to it, and to my surprise it is also "the good kind of hard" save for a few bits and some seriously fucked up weapon balance (HOLY WATER ALL THE THINGS.)

"BLAH BLAH BLAH TIDAL WAVE!!!"
Surprisingly, I did unlock her. Died with the key the first time not knowing what it was for, then I got to that gate. Restarted the stage and then yay, what the heck are they saying!
I dropped her the instant I tried her. She is definitely easy-mode and I refuse to touch her.

Holy cow today (Oct. 9, 2012) is Game-A-Geddon.
Picked up Retro City Rampage, X-Com Enemy Unknown, and Dishonored. God only knows where I'm going to find time to play them all.
