for now

i haven’t been blogging a lot lately, though i have a lot of "drafts" in my head. i suppose i’ve been too lazy or uninspired to turn them into actual posts.

here’s one though…

i got me a psp.

yup, me, the person who has never played a console game since the good old days of the snes (chrono trigger ftw!!!)… me, who just let all those playstations and x-boxes pass by… i now have a psp. it’s actually over a couple of weeks old already, but it’s still news. hehehe.

mau was the first one to get a psp. she bought hers around half a year ago, and i honestly didn’t think that it was worth it. now that i think about it, it kindda actually is. as a video player and a portable gaming console, i’ve come to see that it has good value.

yun nga lang… bitin ang 4gb! there’s an 8gb memory stick available but i hear that it’s slower and less reliable so i don’t think i’ll gamble on that. pwede na for now yung 2gb for vids and 2gb for games (the operative phrase is "for now" =p).

so - for now - i’m able to fit around six 40-minute tv episodes (these are 1-hour episodes on tv due to commercial breaks) and i currently have several games loaded: crisis core:final fantasy vii, patapon, x-men 2:rise of the apocalypse, nba live 08 and echochrome.

i finished god of war:chains of olympus several days ago. major pwnage! uber kick-ass video game! blood… action… violence… adrenaline… wicked graphics… testosterone overload! the only problem with it is that it’s too friggin short! sobrang sobrang bitin. now i want to play gow and gow2… T_T …someone get me a ps2… hehehe. or maybe i’ll just play the game again on a higher difficulty level. ^_^

but gow isn’t my fave game on the psp. that distinction has to undoubtedly go to patapon. i don’t care if it’s a game that features cute little cartoonish eyeballs. it’s a strategy game and a rhythm game (like dance revo and the like) that is insanely addicting.

i’m a tad bit underwhelmed with crisis core: ff7 right now, so that’s all i’m gonna say about that.

so for now, that’s that. i could continue rambling and add how i’ll be able to catch up with my huge tv series backlog now, but i’ll save that for the next entry.
