Odin Sphere: Five Characters, Five Stories, One Epic Adventure

Flash back to about a year ago, the next generation of console gaming was already out for a year (which makes it current gen by this point), but despite that, several game companies were still producing games to systems like the PS2, giving it a few last breaths to hold its own until the Wii and 360 pretty much took over, cause at the time the PS3 and it’s $600 price tag wasn’t really selling systems. However, these final additions were surprising in their quality, really good. Odin Sphere is one such game that takes already excellent Norse Mythos and transforms it into a game that in a world blow your mind.

I figured it'd make sense to start off with the last series I watched all the way through (temporarily). I say temporarily, because there's supposed to be a second season coming out, which is a good thing, because at first I was like, "Wait, where's the ending?"

Since it's a romantic comedy that oddly enough wasn't all too plot-driven, it's awfully hard to spoil anything. Especially given that it's only the first season.

Sup?

So, I'm modnaR. I'm mostly going to be attempting to keep up with anime more than anything else. You can check out my current progress and whatnot here.

As a forward, I'd like to mention that I'm a psychology major and philosophy minor, so I may look at anime with a different lens than a few of you out there. So I'll be sure to explain a few references, so make sure that you check to see if I make comments on my own posts if I completely confuse you. That's just how I operate.

Deadly Premonition: Obsessed over a Bad Game?

So the other week, I was at a friend's place for a impromptu pool party, which after the pool-ness, we played a game that said friend checked out, called 'Deadly Premonition', a budget title for the Xbox 360. The game is revered as being so bad that's it's almost hilarious, probably capturing some of the more entertaining horror films these days I suppose.

Final Fantasy 12: Log 1

I recently re-picked up Final Fantasy 12 lately mainly because I had thought about it and wanted to give the game another shot. Back in 2006, when the game originally came out, I played for about 10 or so hours and there was alot about it I didn't like. I hated the character designs of some characters, I really disliked how generic and not unique each of the characters were in the battle system.

However, after a recent watching of a review for game that I know I don't like, Final Fantasy 8. I got to thinking about why I didn't like that one, the main reason being how boring it is, and I think that's mainly due to the art style they went with. They were going for a high school drama sort of style and thus, alot of the characters looked very modern day high school... and that's so boring. Sure, Zidane in FF9 looked a little silly with his monkey tail, but at least he looked like a adventurer as opposed to Squall who looks like some gothic loner, but now I'm getting off track.

All right. First post.

I've been meaning to get into this scene for a little while now and I posted a few articles on facebook, only to realize not alot of people can really see it, so here I am, setting up the Nerd Sanctum. I'll be mainly posting things related to gaming, anime, movies, and other forms of nerdity for fun and whatnot, so here's to a future of posting lots of nerdy stuff.
