I haven't updated in a while, as there has been nothing interesting to justify an update.

Nothing interesting has happened this time either, but I just feel like updating, so there. Italics for great justice.


As stated, not much is going on at the moment. Thankfully, school is 100% easier than last year. By FAR. Like, 1000 kilometers far. I've gotten psychology as a new subject, in which I have been tasked with going outside (I'm scared as ****, there are bears out there) and smiling at people to see if they return the smile. I have to smile at random people.

Hopefully I'll avoid the creepy stalker guy who might take a liking to me.

Hopefully I'll encounter the creepy stalker girl who might take a liking to me.

My weekend has pretty much gone by with playing the Aion Online open beta, and Disgaea 3. Yes, Disgaea 3. Recently, after saving up my money (or moolah if you prefer), I have gone and bought a PS3. I found one which price was heavily reduced, so I consider myself a winrar on that front. And all I can say about Disgaea 3 is this: I love the game, and I hate myself.

"That's not unusual" you may be saying. To which I'll say "No". To which you might respond "indeed.", the i not capitalized because you're dumb. I apologize, I'm the dumb one here, please don't leave my topic alone D:

I am around 75 to 80 hours into the game, and I'm at chapter 5. Out of I think 12 or 14. WTF, says the gamer who has never played a Disgaea game, unknowing of it's unrelenting grinding nature. WTF says the gamer who HAS played a Disgaea game, and is aware of it's grinding nature. You see, to understand why I've spent so much time, and gotten nowhere, you have to understand something about Disgaea.

In the game, there are classes. Each class has 6 levels, with each level getting an increase in stat growth and stats. To get, for example, a level 3 Lady fighter (called a Valkyrie), you need to level up a level 2 lady fighter (called a Lady warrior) to a specific level in order to unlock the next level. When I unlock the next level, I reincarnate the character into that higher leveled class. This makes the character stronger, as it also inherits around 75% of it's previous stats, making the character much stronger.

It has the side effect of starting the character back at level 1.

And I do this. With every. Single. Class. Plus two monster classes. What can I say, I cannot resist a succubus even if I wanted to.

I think all in all, if you add up all the levels I've gained over the course of the 80 hours, my characters would be level 150 each. My characters are JUST about to reach level 40, at which point I think I need to reincarnate 3-4 of the characters to upgrade them to the next level class.

ALso, take note that upgrading them to the next level of their class is not necessary. At all. I just do it because I want to. Because I am an idiot.

And this also brings me to the great mystery with Disgaea games. I have been grinding the entire weekend, doing nothing else. I haven't continued the story at all. I've heard none of Mao's hilarious antics, or Almaz' cowardice. I have done nothing, but grinding my ass off.

And I haven't once felt bored.

What is wrong with me? Grinding is NOT FUN. But grinding in Disgaea is fun. DOES NOT COMPUTE. COMPUTER ROOM NOT FOUND, FIND THE COMPUTER ROOM.

Whoa, Sonic reference.

Anyway, not much else to say. The loli vampire maid teachers are having a birthday, which I need to attend. So now, if you'll excuse me, I have loli vampire maid teacher cake that needs eatin'.

EDIT: Fate wants me to post, as the topic gets revived the second I start writing this post. Awesome.

but hey at least i deal over 1000 damage to enemies with 500 health at most
