Sony Nails it at E3

   Wow. Just wow-that's all I can say coming away from Sony's stunning presentation at E3 tonight. Leaving Microsoft fans grinding their teeth in frustration, Sony managed to completely blow the Xbox One out of the water with their PS4.

   Representatives of the company assured us that Sony believes in used games, and a consumers right to trade or give away their games to whomever they want and will continue to support this in the future. In addition, they will not require any sort of internet connection AT ALL to access single player content. That right there blew Microsoft to pieces, but Sony wasn't done. While Xbox One carries a hefty price tag of $499, Sony squats over Microsoft's obliterated body and proceed to teabag the remains with a sexy price of $399.
   I could end the column right here, we could all go home, and preorder our PS4's right now, but no. This wasn't enough for Sony. In addition to all of this, they managed to make this presentation almost entirely about the games and what gamers want.
   Let's begin with my biggest nerdgasm: Kingdom Hearts III. That's right, people. It's here, and it's due out in spring of 2014.

   Although only mere seconds of game footage were shown by Square Enix at the conference, I think it is entirely safe to say that this is a fair reason to purchase the Playstation 4.
   The PS4 will also be introducing around 140 titles in it's first year, many featuring brand new indie developers that will just blow you away.
   Along with Kingdom Hearts III, Square Enix also introduced the brand-spanking new Final Fantasy XV. An absolutely gorgeous cinematic was shown, and I just can't wait.
   Many other extremely exciting titles are also coming out including Infamous: Second Son, Destiny, Elder Scrolls Online (yes yes yes!), and Diablo III.
   This is just a quick gloss-over, of course. I will be on over the course of the next few days due to my crazy schedule posting the rest of the details from the presentation.

Busy Sundays

28/4/13

   Sundays are always busy days for me, but oddly enough, I had a fair amount of free time today. I got up early to make a call to my employer. I've got to go in tomorrow at four and fill out the paperwork to be officially hired and then I have three hours of orientation.
   That call took a while, but once it was out of the way I sat down and played some Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance.
   Here's a good story.
   I ordered a Legend of Zelda 3DS gamecard case off of Club Nintendo (it was FABULOUS, just for the record). I had just gotten a 3DS, so the only games I had were Ocarina of Time, Starfox, and KH. I also threw all my Pokemon games in except White 2 as I was working with it at the time (thank God). I'd like to point out I had every Pokemon DS game on the market in there (except Trozei. Never.).
   I lost the damn thing.
   So a few weeks ago, which was about a month and a half after the fact, I finally came to terms with the fact that I'm never seeing it again. So I'm rebuilding my collection after the catastrophe, and now I'm working KH Dream Drop again.
   I got both Sora and Riku about halfway through the Grid. That is such a cool world. I wasn't sure when I first saw it, and I was in fact a little irritated by its' existence, but it is really cool.
   Blah blah blah lunch, one of my orchestras had rehearsel, dinner, SSMB, and my WoW grinds. Finally got my Order of the Cloud Serpent Exalted Status. Yay! Azure Cloud Serpent. Her name is TARDIS (when we're alone, it's Sexy).
   Looking forward to NYCC this year-bringing some friends, can't wait.
   We were thinking of doing a group cosplay for New York Comic Con this year. We are both into Doctor Who, video games, and anime so we've got a pretty good range of choices. One of the ideas was the Ouran Host Club (I totally would go as Kyoya Utori)-which wouldn't be a terribly expensive cosplay, honestly.
   Last year I did the tenth Doctor, and Churgo did Finn from Adventure Time, both of which got pretty good reception-people even asked for pictures with us! That was the coolest thing ever. I will post a few pictures later; I would love some suggestions for this year!
  Comment, comment, comment!
   Au revoir!
