I am a good customer of Stardock, so they like to send me their weekly impulse buys email. I don't mind, because hey, Stardock is a pretty cool guy. eh sells games with no DRM and unlimited downloads and doesn't afraid of piracy.
I also have a habit of announcing the best deals in IRC, which led to me getting an angry message from SporkChan bitching that he just lost ten hours of his life to the sale on King's Bounty.
In conclusion: mwahahahahahahaha

"Don't let the civilians die!" "Don't let the army dudes die!" "Let this chick who only does 10 damage per hit kill the boss with 600 HP!" I am regularly having to spend 3-5 attempts on plot battles because Devil Survivor fucking loves its escort missions, and loves taking out what you have to protect.
In conclusion: The worst part is, I can't even fault the damn game for it, because it makes perfect sense within the context of the story.

I have spent pretty much all day in bed, nursing a bad knee and playing Devil Survivor. I'm on day 4, I have a DS full of demons, and a crazy cosplayer who thinks she is a magical girl now is more trouble than she's worth.
In conclusion: I finally figured out how to use the fusion search, and that is making things a lot easier on me.

My new chair could be coming soon.
I am most displeased with Devil Survivor right now, because it -froze- in the middle of a major fight.
In conclusion: my knee and back are both killing me. This new chair cannot get here fast enough.

I am completely fucking exhausted.
I have never been so glad to have three 3-day weekends in a row. I'm going to go crash now.

So our doughty samurai had their first -real- fight this session. Lots of woundings, but no fatalities until the final round of combat, when two of the bloodthirsty bastards killed peasant spearmen who were trying desperately to surrender. Sure, they were going to die anyway, for attacking samurai and also being bandits, but hey, the freaking Hida turned one of them into a fine mist.
In conclusion: My PCs are bloodthirsty bastards.

I am well pleased with my purchase of Devil Survivor. I am on Day 3, about 0900h.
Demons are dying in droves. I'm fusioning my pokemans like crazy, seeking out new breeds of awesome.
In conclusion: I just bred an Orcus. It looks nothing like Orcus is supposed to.

Devil Survivor is like Pokemon Tactics.
That is all.

The first boss battle in Devil Survivor kicked my ass. Hard. I went and scrounged a bunch of abilities off enemies and such, then went back and with a different strategy, didn't exactly own the battle, but certainly beat it soundly. And scrounged a kickin' new ability off the boss, too.
In conclusion: Shit, this game is surprisingly fun.

Accidentally fell asleep this afternoon and missed my chance to get Devil Survivor before traffic locked down everything for a couple hours, so I still haven't even started it up.
In conclusion: I'm not even sure I'm capable of hardcore gaming anymore.

My phone has decided to start randomly turning itself off entirely. This displeases me, and I have purchased a new phone, as recommended by my sister, who, strangely, is far more in tune with cellphone stuff than I am. Well, cellphones didn't become ubiquitous until after I was 12, so to me they are still technology, so I suppose I can't really blame her.
Anyway, the phone has a slide out keyboard that is big enough I can thumb type on it, I think, and also my brother is horribly jealous, because he was lusting after it just this afternoon, but he cannot find a job, and at any rate is only 16, so cannot afford such a thing.
In conclusion: I have tomorrow off, but unfortunately will not receive Devil Survivor until the late afternoon. Time for some hardcore sleeping in.

I got something like a full night's sleep last night. It only made me even more tired.
Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor for DS is on its way to me.
I am about to go and try to sleep the sleep of the dead. Maybe after doing a little reading first.
In conclusion: This morning, I spent hours figuring out how to fix an unknown problem when I had no documentation, no book, and google was being less than helpful with finding me a damn tutorial.

It is still very hot, and near 100% humidity here. We had a brief but intense thunderstorm this evening that did fuck all to help things. I am probably going to have another night of no sleep.
On the up side, good game tonight, with a Unicorn going crazy, a Bayushi being evil, and adventure being pursued vigorously.
In conclusion: I want summer to be over already.

I got no sleep last night. It was just too damn hot. I wouldn't be surprised if I again get no sleep, because holy crap, it's still damn hot. I feel sorry for Cham, who mowed his lawn tonight.
I'm too tired to talk about a freaking book, even a pretty good one.
In conclusion: Fuck this, sleep time.

Last night, I caught Hobart reusing, word for word, an "impromptu" painting description in a mod. It also had exactly the same result.
I think my air conditioner is dying. This displeases me, but then, I'm not sure I ever expected it to be good in the first place, so I've got more than I expected out of it.
In conclusion: I'm tired and I'm hot, and I want to punch somebody.

Ran D&D for 6 hours today. Keep on the Shadowfell is finished, and nearly finished my players, who pressed on with 4 people. Came home, got into a low level table for HoR, and then CV didn't run. No biggie, I dealt.
My players are rank 4 now, and are happily planning what items they want to make using their pile of gold.
In Conclusion: Not bedtime yet. This mod is gonna take a while.

I hate people so much. Especially overly territorial assholes who insist on calling you to chew you out verbally over bullshit that you have little or no say over.
I'm running D&D again tomorrow at work. Tomorrow is national root beer float day, so we're having root beer floats.
I'm going to try to review Goblin Quest this weekend. No telling if I'll get to it. Also, there are two more food posts in the pipe, but as yet I'm the only person who's posted on either of them.
In conclusion: I really want to destroy Hawaii right now.

FINALLY done with this project at work. I am exhausted, and possibly coming down with a sickness, and possibly going to be running a game while sick this weekend.
I just want to go to bed.

No game tonight. Sickness abounds! For once, I'm mostly not sick, and even though I was super tired today, I had a reasonably good day at work.
I got tired of the ominous portents of Cavern of Black Ice, and instead I now have a series about an unexpectedly heroic goblin, by the author of the Stepsister Scheme. I am looking forward to lots of low comedy and lots of tropes lampshaded and/or subverted.
In conclusion: Man, I'm gonna go lay down and read and play games. Also, no progress yet on the whole "GBA emu on PSP" thing.

Short and uneventful session tonight, because things took too long and I didn't feel like starting an investigation in a large town with only a half hour left.
I'm very tired, and going to bed.
I'm also obtained a PSP USB cable, and am going to see about putting a GBA emulator on it, because while I have a reasonable library of GBA titles, the damn DS doesn't suspend them on screen close, making them rather inconvenient for me to play.
In conclusion: I hope to get some decent sleep tonight. I doubt I will
