So, my first week of holidays is almost over and I spent three of them cleaning and tidying up my room. Having a dust allergy cetainly doesn't speed it up. At least it's mostly dust free now and much less messy. Meaning I've taken care of the important parts of my room. It's incredible how much useless stuff I have, I really need to get rid of that. I'm also thinking of getting rid of my glass cabinet. There's nothing of use inside and I could really do with a new book shelf. If I go on buying and reading books like I do now (which will eventually happen), I'll have to squeeze them into the small space between the "normal" rows (two at the moment) and the single shelves.

And a word about cosplay. Firstly, my sister and I are going to attend Animagic on saturday and I'm looking forward to seeing most of you =D.
Secondly, the next time I post here it'll probably be with photos of the finished embroidery on my Maria costume . There's only one big pattern and a few small ones left. I'm working on it while watching Parker Lewis. Does anyone else remember this series? People looked so funny during the early 90s XD.

And speaking of Castlevania, for those who don't know already, they're working on a Castlevania beat'em'up. Seriously! I'm not really sure what to think of it. I can kind of understand IGA (= Koji Igarashi, the mastermind behind the CV games from somewhen of the 16bit era on) wanting to try different game genres. And I also give credit to him for admitting that they've yet to arrive at the same level with the 3D games as the 2D levels. Granted, I've only played little of the 3D games, but I felt them lacking in a lot of areas. Besides, they should aim for making them not another Devil May Cry. I can't speak for its successors, but part 1 wasn't the best game in the world either.
What I want to say is: I'm open for CV games that are not the classical adventure games. But then I found some of the official artwork. Takeshi Ohbata ( Death Note ) is a good artist, no doubt about it, but the designs are atrocious ! They suck so much I can't even put it into words! But see for yourself.
I mean WTF! What is that? Dracula in a shiny gold suit? Alucard looking closer in age to Kid Dracula SOTN than his self? That is not Maria! I Weep for judge (? Simon?) T_T! No, wait, I weep for all ;____;.
I do not ever want to get closer to this game than 100 meters.


PS: Did you know that Ayami Kojima (character designer for most of the games from CV SOTN on) is married to Hideo Kojima? I'm so jealous of her, he's my hero XD game designer.
