Golden Week at the speed of Burnout

(tags game, anime, Burnout Paradise)

My holiday is almost over, and I have a bunch of thoughts to collect (but not fully document). Over the course of last week:

I watched a whole boatload of anime. I think I need to watch this junk at 1.5x or 2.0x speed, because it is junk. I wanted to blog about Rosario + Vampire. I also wanted to mention Kamen no Maid Guy (kukuku) and also my restart of De Ji Charat Nyo on DVD.

I played a whole lot of games. Vice City on PC is stuck and not fun. I finished the single player campaign of the XBLA game Undertow. I like that kind of territory game. Oh, before going into the holiday I bought some Wii titles such as the Milestone Shooting and the Simple series Shooting. No I don't have a Wii yet, but the price was ... palatable.

Then in the middle I took advantage of Golden Week price drops at Nipponbashi A-Too and got Burnout Paradise for 3000 yen, Stranglehold for 1600 yen, and Bioshock for 2000 yen, obviously used but all English capable versions. I've already put in 23 hours into Burnout Paradise, which is about 73% complete. I also read the BP Criterion blog fully. I am hyped about this game.

And I tried taking out my imported bicycle but unfortunately the thumb gear shifters are broken. You know, explore my Kobe "sandbox" because BP put me in the mood. I want to get rid of this bike though, because it doesn't feel safe.

Back to work, so go to sleep early.
