18/09/2013 - Demon's Souls and Summer Wars

So there's been a day gap in my daily updates (technically two if you include this late post). Lame excuse time, commence! I ended up watching Summer Wars with my girlfriend until about 1am and then I was so tired that I fell asleep almost instantly, my bad.

But, on to the update!

I've almost completely finished Demon's Souls now. All I have left to do is farm a piece of Pure Bladestone and kill King Allant to craft the Northern Regalia sword. The drop rate on this Pure Bladestone is absolutely ridiculous though. I'm currently using the secret passage in 4-2 to farm the dual-katana skeleton and after 50 or so kills, it still hasn't dropped.

I might have to use my other character to farm the Pure anyway, since I dropped my controller yesterday and took a large chunk of flesh from Stockpile Thomas' head... Oops.

Honestly, I've had my fun time with this game and now it's just becoming tedious, grinding is very rarely fun, but in MMOs I can generally tolerate it. Ah well, I guess I better get back to grinding.

Now, about Summer Wars. I didn't actually plan to watch it for a while, but one of my girlfriends students told her that she should watch it, so we did. What an awesome movie. I haven't actually watched many anime movies outside of series and Ghibli, apart from the obvious ones like Akira, but after Summer Wars I think that will change. The concept for the movie is completely unique and manages to utilise the internet without going down the road of .hack and Sword Art Online. I would write a complete review of it but I might have to watch it again to make it worth reading.

Only a few more days until the penultimate episode of Shingeki no Kyojin, I can't wait! Hopefully [gg] subs will be on time, but that's something I won't hold my breath for.

Back to normal update schedule as of today, with the review of Demon's Souls hopefully arriving at the beginning of next week.
