Now With More Ninjas

Ninja vs. Gilded Lily
Still playing, after playing all weekend… It helps to have a cable that hooks the PSP up to the TV, so that I don’t get eyestrain from playing a portable game for so long! Also, this way K gets to participate.

Disassembling Unnatural Creatures
…And of course, this means that other games still have to wait!

To Brawl Or Not To Brawl
Sony released Guilty Gear Judgment on PSN today, to run on the PSP. I wavered…
- It’s a best-of-class brawler series…
- but I’m not a huge brawler fan…
- but I liked it just fine when they were still calling it a platforming series[] …
- but it’s almost 500MB I have to free up on my Memory Stick…
- but it’s only $5.99…
Oh wait, Majesco[] put it out? I guess I have to buy it now. ;)
OH HAY UPDATE
So, I once again am wrong on The Internets, and have gotten the Guilty Gear and Metal Slug bits of my brain crossed. ><
This is a brawler, or as we say in the ancient past where I live, a beat-em-up. So says Giant Bomb Dot Com. (Thanks, Giant Bomb Dot Com!)
But… it’s based on Guilty Gear? Does that mean…

WRYYYYYYY

Ongoing PSP Adventures
I have played this game many times. And seldom do I break the tradition of the first group I ever fielded, well over a decade ago[]:

The Original Party
Admission: this is senseless. When I first played Final Fantasy on the NES, I was not familiar with the genre, despite coming in well after the fourth game in the series had been released on the SNES. I chose these classes because they were on the screen to begin with, and I figured I didn’t know any better. I didn’t even have the instruction manual to guide me.
(Also, it always struck me as strange that the names could only be four letters long. Later on, I learned Japanese, and then it made sense: In the Japanese kana, each character represents a syllable. So, allowing up to four characters is allowing up to four syllables, and a four syllable name is quite long enough! Allowing longer names after the translation to English would have required an interface overhaul.)
And now, I have the PSP version.
It looks and sounds very good, even by comparison to the GBA version of a few years ago:

My "Expanded" Names Aren't Much Classier
I think it’s hilarious that I keep buying and playing new versions of this game, and I love it every time. This time, it’s even pre-empted another old favorite I had started back into.

Don't Wait Up...
