The number you have dialed cannot be reached

Decided to try some drawing today... still suck at it... Body proportions seem to be easy enough, but limb details (hands and feet) are awful, face is awful, and I'm only using a mechanical pencil. I'll probably have to start consulting tutorials and whatnot...

Drawing is something that requires a lot of hard work, and also possibly self esteem. I used to take a lot of art classes, but the only thing I was good at was backgrounds and creatures, which was mostly due to my creativity(not anything special at all mind you, I still have trouble with dimensions). But yeah, the only thing I could recommend would be looking up some tutorials over on DA or pixiv(I'm sure there's a tag for it), finding a style that you like, and making it your own in some way. Oh yeah, and lots of constant practice and determination.

Oh, and also

I'm kinda getting the hang of Persona 4 Golden. Even playing on Hard, once you get the weaknesses down, normal battles become quite easy at least, boss battles are a bit harder. I've saved Yukiko Amagi and Kanji Tatsumi so far, got to see "Princess Yukiko..." nice...

And so I'm guessing a few days from now, I'll be introduced to the Marukyu Strip Joint and the best character in the game. Bow-chicka-bow-wow...

Tonight's music selection is incomplete, but ohmygodawesome-

AND IT'S IN AWESOME ENGRISH!

Nu <3

That's no Engrish, that's an American band. They've actually got an album of this. You should listen to their SUSANO-OH.

Ah~ That explains so much. There were grammatical errors, but if you're trying to fit it into a song, it all makes sense. Very nice~ I think I'll listen through this as I stay awake for this troubling day ^__^

It sucks to finally have access to something you've wanted for so long, only to see that it's not really worth much to you anymore once it comes out-



[Fiendish Duchess] Annerose

She has REALLY high attack power for her PWR cost... but I already have stronger cards. And her ability... isn't used for combat...
The only good news to come from Rage of Bahamut finally releasing her is... now they can also release the other cards of her as well, which are a rarity rank higher (which is about where I'm at right now in deck building). Summer is coming...

Tonight's song- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xKh7SV-ZGcA

Ah, a remix of an old classic from 2009. XD

Well, I'm in the endgame content of Persona 4. I just completed the Hollow Forest dungeon (Golden exclusive).

Very nice looking boss: Kusumi-no-Okami

It was a very nice battle to go through. Now if only the dungeon progression weren't such a pain in the ass... Well, I got through it easily enough, but it's still a very annoying gimmick.

Persona 4 is a awesome game, EC aside. I should also mention the GiantBomb Endurance Run of Persona 4 is internet comedy gold, if you guys are keen on it checking out.

Reflects all attacks...

Fuck. >.<;

And I'm always up for funny LP's of Persona 4. I wiish Two Best Friends released a full playthrough.

It's not that bad actually-

Spoiler:

Also, tonight's track will be that boss theme. It's actually a remix of something you might be familiar with.

I suggest that you DON'T LOOK AT THE COMMENTS, because there's important plot points with this boss.

I finished my first run of Persona 4 Golden. Well, I actually finished it twice, since I got the not-so-bad bad ending once, but I decided to just try again to unlock true end. Here's the thing... I did the Golden dungeon, Hollow Forest... and then apparently missed the True Final Dungeon, something that I'm guessing was in the original P4. And... I kinda saved over my game data already, moving into playthrough #2.

But hey, this is a game with choices. It encourages multiple plays. Now I'm going to work even harder. I'll finish the compendium, I'll max out the Social Links, I bring a true end to the case... or maybe do something else that's Golden exclusive that I'm hearing about.

In anticipation of this second run, here's this song; a song I did not get to hear; a song I have to strive toward-
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a6ZJCiX0olY
Having played P4Arena, I'm actually somewhat familiar with a part of this tune. But let me tell you, if this is a final boss theme... it might just be one of the best ones. It really tickles my heroism fetish (Yeah, I have that. It actually rivals my corruption fetish).

Regarding the boss music

Spoiler:

Also, yeah, that ending can be easy to miss, the only reason I knew about it was I offhandedly heard about it. It pretty damn good too.

Okay... goddammit, I'm getting addicted to Skyrim. Jesus Christ, and I just bought The Last of Us too. But seriously, when you can easily mod your game to include things like this-

It's kinda hard to not be interested.

Also, have Gods Eater Burst and Zero Escape: Virtue's Last Reward through my PS+ subscription.

Now then, music... Let's just say this is really starting to become a guilty pleasure-

This composer has been making some really epic themes for all of those series.

Indeed, that music really sticks with you if you let it. I need to do some catch up on that series.

Finally starting to finish up my second run of Persona 4 Golden.

All S-Links done. Now I have two directions to go- 1) Fight the super boss in an earlier realm, 2) Do the Final FINAL dungeon and boss.
Actually, I already tried 1; she kicked my ass, but I set the game to hard, since I hadn't fought her yet. Though I'm tempted to set it to easy and cheat my way through it for the trophy, then go back for the real challenge later. >_>

Tonight, I sign off with this-

Well, a few weeks ago, I left my job. Currently unemployed, but honestly, a lot of anger has finally left me.

Spending a lot of time on Final Fantasy XIV. I actually completed the Seventh Umbral Era storyline last night. Now it's time for the endgame stuff, or leveling up other jobs. The game is proving to be very entertaining, however, the speed at which some of these things are done is so fast, I gotta wonder how long the content will actually last everyone.

And here's this post's theme, from The Praetorium:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9TnIg-KvLCo
EDIT: Oh man, it got removed.

Oi, not much going on right now... besides me playing a lot of FFXIV.
Here's how far I've come since the start. I hope this page updates soon, because I logged out on my main job with a lot of really powerful new gear-
http://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/character/2188136/

And since all the Youtube videos of the song keep getting taken down, I'll at least direct you to the launch trailer- it plays about half of the song used in The Praetorium. It's not a bad trailer either (you can also track it down in Japanese, German, and French):

Not that this means much to anyone else, but Happy Smelting Day!




Meantime, I'm going to have to start digging myself out of snow, because I probably do need to leave my apartment and do some shopping today.

Sorry to hear that, hope it goes well.

Wow, you made that sound so depressing. >_>

I had more trouble with the shovel kept at my building than the snow. Definitely getting a new one for myself when I can find one.

So, I also tried out another new dungeon in FFXIV recently- Haukke Manor (Hard)

As noted before, MORE SUCCUBI. Also... they have an attack called "Demonize" which they use on Gridanian Wood Wailer (spearmen, basically) NPCs that they've subdued, and turn them into demons, mostly Taurus and Kindred types. Unfortunately, no female Wood Wailers that they would turn into Succubi.

And then comes the boss of this version, Halicarnassus-
http://i1.ytimg.com/vi/WVvk2Wlto6Q/maxresdefault.jpg

And she... devours the lady of the manor and her servants (You know, the boss and underlings of the regular version). >_>
Well, stabs them and drains them really, but you get the idea.
She also has a room-wide AOE that puts all party members in a "seduced" state, causing all of them to slowly walk towards her. During the seduced state, she'll cast Void Fire IV on one person, and unfortunately, it can't be avoided while seduced, so it would be best for party members to remain distant in the final part of the fight, so only one person gets hit with it.

So... I just cleared what is currently the hardest content in Final Fantasy XIV.
... Eh, took me long enough, I guess. Now it's just doing it over and over again for loot every week. And wait for new content to come in down the line. At some point, Shiva. And I really hope they introduce the Lamiae tribe into the universe (as Shiva's worshippers).

Say what you will about the series this is from, this is an amazing song. (<3 Yuki Kajiura)
