... Adhoc Party is a gift from the great Pharaohs of Egypt. Hail Anakaris! Darkstalkers and Pangya... online?! This is madness! *__(Insert SPARTAAA Here)__* Bought a $50 PSN Card today, downloaded Capcom Puzzle World (Online Puzzle Fighter!!!) and Crimson Room: Reverse. Trying to decide on one more $15-$16 Adhoc game to download, thinking either Crazy Taxi or Disgaea: AoD. Think I would have an easier time finding people to play Disgaea with, but damn Crazy Taxi's fun.

... and D3 Publisher saw fit to give Onechanbara a US Release, and there was much rejoicing!

I've been waiting patiently for an announcement, but never actually expected it. So friggin' happy, it even knocks that 5* Expert "Performance" of mine down a couple of notches for today.

... it keeps me up at night, scared.

I'm talking about Rock Band now by the way. I've been working the past couple of days, trying to get that last button into my Guitar "Performances"*. It's actually going better than I thought it would to be honest, I've even dabbled just a bit with a couple Expert selections. Most proud of so far...

... I really surprised myself on that one. Sure, it doesn't have the shiny Gold Stars that people hold in such high regard, but I've only been using that Orange Button for 48 Hours... so I deserve my time to gloat.

By comparison, I just barely mustered a 3* performance for "Magaritaville", hitting about 78%.

I'm hoping that the more practice I get, the easier it will be to hit that accursed button with more ease and accuracy, because right now it just confuses the *Radio Edit* out of me when I'm switching my fingers around.

* Of course, by "Performances", I mean me... "Rocking Out"** in my room.

**... and by "Rocking Out", I mean sitting in a chair, and on occasion standing up. Possibly even moving around.

Since June 5, I have amassed the following...

For reals... about the time the PVC Statue arrived, it hit me... that maybe, just maybe, I'm going a bit overboard?

I would like to say that I'm not going to buy anything else, but I've got this Japanese PS2 that's been sitting around gathering dust, and apparently there's a collection available for PS2 in Japan featuring all of ye olde Darkstalkers (or "Vampire" as they say in Japan) arcade games. Not to mention, that Statue looks awful lonely, it could use some company... perhaps a nice Felicia or Hsien-ko?
