I finally finished Persona 3! It certainly was the longest RPG I've ever dedicated myself to, I clocked in at around 105 hours in the end. My previous record was 94 hours for .Hack volumes 1-4! I will say that if I knew going into it how long the game would take to complete, I probably wouldn't have even started. I am not really a fan of long games.

Since I'll just keep putting off putting up a nice sized blog if I think about it too much, I decided it would be best to simply list some of the things I've been doing/playing/enjoying, and perhaps elaborate on them in a future post.

I’m also a big fan of the Half-Life series. I don’t really like many first person shooters, but Half-Life 2 completely sucked me in,…
Read more →So for those of you who didn’t know, Keiji Inafune-san, the creator of Megaman, was doing a signing at a Gamestop in New York on the 7th. My friend L and I decided that this would be a good chance to plan a grand New York adventure trip around the day, which would culminate in the meeting of one of gaming’s most legendary designers.
