Alright, guys. The Professor Layton and Ace Attorney series had better be as good as everyone keeps saying they are. I was dragged to Kohl's to grab a shirt and had an opportunity to browse Gamestop's used games. They had a buy-2-get-1 sale on DS and Wii games, and I took the opprotunity to grab Professor Layton and the Curious Village, Professor Layton and the Unwound Future, and Miles Edgeworth Ace Attorney Investigations. I was going to get a Phoenix Wright game, but an employee advised me that all three Wright games were coming to 3DS soon. If I end up liking the gameplay I'll have to pick up the compilation. Honestly, I bought them half for myself and half to get my sisters to use their 3DS. A man from church gave them one and I'm hoping to get them into gaming with it. I'm not sure what to expect from these games, but I'm optimistic. (Also that was Brickfair money I spent. If these aren't good I'll have grave regrets.)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BuIdjU1I-08 Seriously though I really really hope the localization team just carries on and still pretends this is all happening in America. Yes that's right in early 1900s Los Angeles Phoenix Wright's great-grandfather became the first lawyer of the Meiji Restoration. In the great Empire of America.

It's been about a month since I last posted on this little bloggy thing, and plenty of stuff's been happening, so I figured it was overdue. So! Work. Microsoft continues to be a pretty sweet gig, if a busy one. And man was E3 awkward around the office. Anyway, I'm usually there from like 9 to 5 or 6 most days, so if you're wondering why I seem to only be around in the evening these days, there's yer answer. Writing-wise! I put some entries in the Flash Fiction Marathon. You should too! Or barring that, go read 'em and vote! They're short and sweet and some of them are Pretty Darn Good. (It is not for me to decide if my own stuff is included in that last category.) In the longer-term, still plucking away at that next epic (total aside I may have brought up in the past, but am I the only one who always thought the term 'epic' was a bit... grandiose? I digress.) If there is one advantage to Bionicle getting cut off so abruptly you'd think it was an episode of Game of Thrones that somehow wound up on Nicktoons, it's that it left a lot of fertile plot threads dangling, and it continues to be a lot of fun to write about the alternate-universe's "Good" Teridax and a certain other character (whose name I omit so's not to spoil The Shadow and the Sea for those who haven't read it). I'm still hoping to get the lion's share of it done by the end of summer. So in the words of many a Japanese game developer, "Please look forward to it." Speaking of the vidya gaems, I haven't been gaming that much this summer, but I'm giving The Walking Dead a go. There's a lot of stuff that needs polishing, but it's refreshing to see a game where you have to make tough choices and there isn't just a magical "everything's fine if you have enough Charm/charisma/what have you" dialogue option. And at this point it seems like basically everyone has Animal Crossing, so I'm probably going to crack and pick that up sometime this weekend. (Hopefully a physical copy, 'cause Nintendo's download systems leave a lot to be desired.) And of course on July 25th the Japanese version of Ace Attorney: Dual Destinies comes out. Because I am the kind of guy who finds the lives of fictional lawyers unspeakably entertaining (and because I help run a fansite dedicated to said fictional lawyers), I'll probably be sinking a lot of time into that for a week or so, so if I'm not around BZP, just follow the sounds of people yelling "OBJECTION" unreasonably loud. (Also: gave the first episode of the Dangan Ronpa anime a try. Yeah, not that confident in it so far. 13 episodes is not much time to pack that entire game into. The LP of Super Dangan Ronpa 2 continues to be excellent, though! Wish I had a PSP of my own.) Other miscellanea? I celebrated AMERICA DAY on the top floor of a high-rise, which was pretty cool. The Otter continues to put up with my playing what appears to be the single most Pollyana-esque BZRPG character he's ever seen. Seattle is awesome as always, though I did kind of prefer my apartment last year where I had a bike path next to my apartment instead of a really steep, really busy street. So, anyway, that was your cool story for the day, bro.

New avatar! It's been a good five months or so of Child's Play, but I think it's time to retire it until later this year, when the drive picks up again in earnest. In the meantime, though, Ace Attorney 5 finally got some more solid details, including the return of Apollo Justice as a playable character. Apollo was the star of the fourth game of the series, and while he kind of got overshadowed by Phoenix, I loved his personality and am really glad to see he'll be playing a major role in the fifth game as well. But really, can we stop and appreciate this cover for a sec? From left to right, there's a defense attorney whose first name is Phoenix and has the Superman cowlick; an 18-year-old attorney who specializes in psychology and has a supercomputer in her necklace that can read people's emotions; a prosecutor who is also a convicted murderer, and a guy named Apollo Justice who has a magic bracelet that lets him spot people's subconscious tells. (And never mind how he dresses when injured.) And that's just the main characters. I love this series, because no matter how insane you think it can get, it always finds a way to top itself. Anyways, in other news, between covering this AA5 info for a different site and university, I've unfortunately been pretty busy lately. Still, I'm chipping away at the plot for a follow-up to The Shadow and the Sea; it was far too much fun writing alternate-universe Good!Teridax to leave it at that. With any luck, I can really buckle down and write the most of it this summer.

Handsome semi-canon Professor Layton wishes you all a good day. Lego robot Layton does not, because he can't talk. He is a Lego robot, and not the kind that goes around in groups of six and fights ambiguously-sci-fi evil. (Also, I'm hoping to post a pseudo-epic sometime in the next week or two.)

I'd say that about sums it up. (This is good flailing, by the way.) (Case 3 though, case 3 oh my-)

Wisconsin pays little heed to such things as 'continuity of climate'. I support this claim with the evidence of it being 55 on Thursday where I was, and 20 with three inches of snow on Friday. In the James Bond movies, Q is now essentially Otacon, only British and with (presumably) less love of anime. November novels are nice. Writing as you like without making it into a race and juggling it with college is nicer. Jiro Ishii gave Kyugo Shindo a deLorean and his daughter an orange jacket solely for the Back to the Future joke 9 hours into Time Travelers. I have unholy amounts of work due Wednesday and Friday. Also, speaking of Time Travelers, my Japanese reading comprehension is decent, but far far far lacking in the kanji department. Professor Layton vs. Ace Attorney comes out on Wednesday. I have been waiting for this game for two years. The custom unit in Fire Emblem: New Mystery of the Emblem is absurdly broken. I am probably going to need to do a lot of said work early if I want to actually play Professor Layton vs. Ace Attorney on Wednesday. When both my mom and I are reading the same book, it's easiest for everyone involved to just turn it over to her and let her completely finish it, because she reads faster than any human should. I'm still waiting on feedback from those folks who offered to give that story of mine a look, so if you're reading this... sometime soon-ish? I know it needs work, I just want some other eyes to help me figure out where. So, how was your Thanksgiving?

I could write out a long talk about the graphics, or the fact it's kind of disappointing they seem to have dropped Apollo, or the new systems. But there's really only one thing worth noting: Winston Payne's younger brother is straight-up Gangnam Style.

We're back (again!) Which is a good thing, since lately stuff has been happening! Whoa! Exciting! Thrills! Exclamation marks! But seriously... First of all, the Sam minifig that the ever-awesome Nuju Metru made came in the mail thanks to the efforts of also-ever-awesome xccj. He's already making friends with the Dalek figure on my desk. Second, I finished my sophomore year of college! As far as I know, all my classes went pretty well grade-wise, and I'm already looking forward to next year. In the meantime, I'm leaving for Seattle in just over two weeks for my internship working on Windows 8. I don't have details yet (and even if I did, I'm guessing there'd be an NDA), but I do know I'll be working on something related to drivers and driver development (which is super cool if you're a CS major and probably a nightmare if you aren't.) Lastly, hints have been dropped that a particular puzzle-and-courtroom game is getting a localization announcement at E3. If this turns out to be true, Sigma and Phi are going to have to vacate my sig (at least until October). Much as I love 999 and VLR, I'm still hyped like crazy for PLvsAA, and we've gotten maybe two minutes of gameplay and ten screenshots since it was announced in 2010. And now to pass out, because, well, summer.

First month of 2012 is on it's way out. Dunno about the rest of you, but for me it was pretty good for a couple different reasons. On the gaming side of things, we got so much Ace Attorney news this month that I could jump for joy. The live-action movie got good reviews and is slated for international release at some point; Professor Layton vs. Ace Attorney has a very high-quality studio doing its animation; and of course Ace Attorney 5 was finally announced. I remember the leadup to Apollo Justice 5 years ago, and I can't wait to see what's in store for AA5. Now if only they'd get around to localizing Ace Attorney Investigations 2... Television-wise, we were treated to a wonderful second season of Sherlock. All of the episodes were excellent, but "The Reichenbach Fall" was some of the best television in a long while. Oh, that last twenty minutes. Everything about it was just pitch-perfect. I just wish the fangirls of the internet would stop insisting John and Sherlock are gay for each other. (Obligatory disclaimer: I don't mind gay relationships, I just don't see John and Sherlock as gay. Extremely close friends, practically family? Yes. Lovers? No.) More grounded in reality, my fourth semester's off to a good start. Busy, but good. My classes are all interesting (if time-consuming), and the programming team I'm on is making good progress. The big thing is a job interview I've got in a couple weeks; I'll need to buckle down and prep for that, because it would make my year if I got it. At least it's a second-round interview, so I know I must have done something they liked. Finally, I'd like to plug a friend's story to those of you still reading Bionicle fics. It's called "Frustration", over on that big fanfiction site which shall not be named, by a guy called C-Unknown. It's a Tahu/Gali story, but it's pretty decently written and, in my opinion, feels decently realistic in its handling of their relationship. For some reason he doesn't want to post it on BZP (he tells me he used to be a member here but left some time ago; I didn't pry), but I figure he'd appreciate the extra readers, even if he doesn't like the site they're from.
