word of advice.
since the announcements of monster hunter tri and monster hunter tri for the psp, i got all excited and got me my copy of the monster hunter freedom 2 for my good ol psp.
But as most of you good MH fans should know, this is just not the best game to be in a good mood, in fact, if you are trying to have a dandy day with no problems or issues with life, i would highly sugest you not to play it, at all, never.
Thats right, as adorable as the idea of stabing a dragon with a sword the size of your own body is, you must take in mind that then again, its a freacking dragon, it wont take 1 or 2 hits and die peacefully (or if you are "lucky" enough to fight one of the rock types, you will rather break 3 swords before you start chipping its armor), there is a reason why every mission gives you 30 to 50 minutes, its because thats roughly the time it will take you to start damaging a dragon armor with your human weapons (and your puny human powers lol).
Now, dont take me wrong, i looove this game, but since i have been as of late, trying to draw a little, i find it much better for my drawing results to draw while im happy, cheerful or just not in the mood to freacking toss my psp against a wall and see it break into a million pieces and laugh maniatically, yeah... no, its not too much of an overreaction, as any MH player, you can see a graph showing just how much curses and swearing was added into their life once they started playing monster hunter, this is something i somehow forgot, the cursing and swearing, lots of it, LOTS, just ask your friends, mention "gravios" and you will see the sparkle of rage and feel what that dam "killing intent" they mention in mangas feels like.

FFXI for casuals (at long last!)
For anyone who has been into ffxi, you all know that this game was never oriented for casual gamers, in about 2 hours of game you could have your level 1 war hit level 6, and that would be about it, every event, mission, quest or anything relatively funny would consume great amounts of time, this because you'd have to log on, prepare your character, ask around for help as theres relatively very few things worth your time that you can do alone, once you got the help, you'd have to wait about 30 minutes to 2 hours for everyone to get ready and at this point, well pretty much half the day has passed by, but hey, you can already go and finish that mission or w/e right? (yeah pretty much sucks).
But!, now we got something rather interesting, we got the trials of the magians, lots of new weapons, that are relatively good, personally i would say they can be 3rd best of their kind, and hey, they are not that hard to get, in fact you can for first time since the game was made, you can accomplish something while playing in a rather casual manner!
Ok im really axcited by this for all the wrong reasons now lol, you see, having your favorite game to be able to hook you up in both hardcore gaming or casual gaming is a really awesome thing, or at least thats my line of thought in this subject.
I dunno about most of you guys out there but i like my games to be able to entertain me, a game that bring fun, comradership, good moments is great, but if you do all this with a tight schedule, 6-7 days a week, following a set of rules defined by your fellow players it just kinda kills the fun in it you know (also, online drama will come, trust me on this).
So yeah, being able to work on weapons that are relatively good, being able to do it in your own time and within 1-2 hours do a real significant improomenet on each stage of the weapon, is pretty much a great advance to the game the way i see it.
Also on a side note, i have found that is actually pretty fun to do this, i started complaining about the idea of the weapons (then again, i dont think theres nothing i havent complained about before), but after a couple of runs to get some monsters killed i found that there are always other players hunting for the same monsters and are on the same trial than you, and of course are willing to help, this is very fun, i got to meet lots of people in the last couple weeks and had a great time even when all we were doing was staring a beetles and waiting for a breeze of wind come and lift a lil of the sand under our feet. (there were light breezes in the desert but we played dumb and pretended they were sandstorms regardless).
Now if anyone ever followed my blog (please send a message i want to know im not crazy and talking to myself... well at least not totally crazy), will notice that i havent wrote that much in last days, this would be because i have been doing magian weapons as well as kinda busy with my DA account, i might post some of my works here, just for the fun and giggles, we will see.

Metal Gear & Monster Hunter
oh boy, Its freacking ON!!!!
On april 6th Capcom and Konami made the announcement of a big cross over game that ahs nothing to do with reality at all anymore, but it will pretty much kick butt.
Im afraid this is a CGI and not gameplay picture, but still, lovely.
The name of the game is Metal Gear solid: Peace Walker, a name that ahs the usual MGS series ring to it, a multiplayer game for the psp, apparently based on the completition of objetives rather than sneak and hide as the older MGS games (well there have always been objetives, but this time you wnot hide).
For those unlucky to know what im talking about or maybe you are not familiar with one of the 2 franchises or maybe not familiar with either (shame on you, infidel!), basically it means you will go armed commando against innocent fire-spitting dinosaurs.

Just translate it as "AWESOME" ok?
Im fairly sure any monster hunter fans will totally get this game as the joy of using a semi automatic gun against a Rathalos sees just like the sweetest idea after sliced bread.
Now we will have modern weapons to battle against our favorite (im not sure if anyone actually has other feeling but loathe for MH monsters anymore) monsters, the videos show us some packed action scenes of gameplay (remember it looks low def because its a psp game).
"According to early details from the Japanese magazine, Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker will feature beasts and bosses from the Monster Hunter series. That's right, Snake and his fellow cooperative Snakes will be taking down giant Wyverns like the Tigrex and lesser creatures like Velociprey in addition to attack helicopters."
-Kotaku webpage report-
P.S. Thanks a lot to el Aqui for always giving me the sweetest news.

Odin cometh (to kick butt)
After logging in today the first thign that waited me was a tell from el Aqui with something amazing to share (like it is a habit of his to bring me l337 stuff into my morning), and wow!, this one was crazy!
Maybe it was because i have been busy with other stuff like the trials of the magians and finally leveling my dnc (i procastinate a LOT) to be a decent sub for my pld, like im geussing anyone who has seen the new changes to campaing battle is doing, so i pretty much didnt pay any attention to the 2 new avatars specially since im not a summoner at all (im rather magically challenged), but wow this took me completely by surprize, you wonder why, just check this:
you saw it right?, yeah im not kidding it says 9999 damage, i thought it was a joke or something like that so i decided to go and check the wiki myself and i found this:
yeah thats right, odin can do up to 7k damage to NM's, i had to read more about this, apparently odin is sort of a last resort mob for summoners, you can only summon him while under the effect of astral flow, he will pop, do his thing and he will just go away when he feels like it, altho he will attack whatever mob he feels like attacking the wiki article says that his attack "Zantetsuken", is an AoE Death effect, yeah, if this is correct, summoners got access to "deathga" at last.
Now we could sit and talk about just how conveluted this might be, but then again, we all know a lil bit of SE and we can pretty much imagine the restrictions to this ability, wont affect NM's, pretty much all annoying mobs will have high resistance to the damage as well.
Now as im ranting about this, everyone must be already wondering "if odin does this, wtf does Alexander so that it can compete with so much hax?", well Alexander will practically change the face of endgame as we know it a little bit.
Why do i say this? well basically for anyone not too willingly to abandon me in the middle of a rant to check on wiki for themselves (or in the rare case i might have a fan and you actually want to hear me rant...), well apparently Alexander has the same deal of a summon charcateristics than Odin, but he just comes and gives AoE "perfect defense", yeah thats right 60 to 90 seconds of close to no damage frmo monsters, anyone who has done the final fight for the treasures of Aht Urgan expansion pretty much knows what this means.
Now with all this changes i guess we can pretty much take an idea of what might be coming in the future, or we will just fantaize (like me), thatw e finally reached our favorite point in any FF game, yeah, when our characters can pretty much pull a 9999 damage on any mob that crosses our paths, dam i hope that doesnt take too much.

Castle Age Madness
Well with the tittle said, anyone can pretty much figured out whats the addiction that got my attention this time, yeah its one of the legions of facebook mini games there is (and prolly that there will be), Castle Age.
The thing here is that i cant find any decent reason to not like or play this mini game, this coming frmo me is rather weird since i would already be just plain complaining about it, well im actually complaining about the game already, what about? got not enough dam energy!!.
The premises of the game are quite simple, you are the commander of armies and just go around killing stuff, enough right? that has been the basic requirement for any decent videogame since mario decided to hop the crap out of koopa.
Ok well theres some little diferences with this one, the first one being you dont have to put against one of those really uncomfortable NES controls (we all know, all old school gamers had even injuries with those, myself included of course), since this is a computer game your main control will be just your mouse, mindlessly simple in that sense.
Now the game comes with a big background history coming from its predecesors, games like ogame, mafia wars and just any one of those lil html based games, but somehow despite my best efforst to not fall onto the vice, i somehow managed to do it, it lured me out with nice and fancy words describing my entrance to a big battlefield and asking me to take action and support one of the many combatants in place, how could i ever refuse an offer to go help an ally? (or slay goblins...).
So far after playing mindlessly the game for hours and maybe days, im not even sure nowdays, but the game is just incredible simple, you get energy for quests, stamina for fights, health for... well... keep breathing, and thats just about it, you do quests and spend your energy, if you complete one quest you get points to increase your status, if you level up you get points as well and lots of other options to basically... yeah... get better gear than you had last day and even so, the game has just the right amount of addictive catch and simplicity to just keep going at it.
The game is basically, select your general to do a certain chore, select a few status increases as you level up, do some quests for points, do some monster fights for money and treasure and sometimes if you are just not that bored, read the results you get after each one of your "adventuring trips" right after you did clicked it.
