From the Persona Team, Catherine Trailer

I'm tired. Really, really tired. I blame LittleBigPlanet and it's hideously high entertainment value. I was playing online with some random Puerto Rican person until 1 AM. Man-oh-man. Good times.

While LBP fills every gaming orifice that is not already filled by Pokemon in my body (don't ask where or what these orifices are, because that is a personal question. Also, it's nonsensical and I have no answer for you, anyway), I can't help but stare longingly at my perfectly organized game shelf (which, it just occurred to me, I must take a picture of to immortalize for all Internet-going generations to come!) and wish that, settled in-between LBP and Ratchet and Clank: Tools of Destruction, there was a copy of my much-desired Persona 5. Unfortunately, nary a title exists as of yet. But I assure you, it will come. Gosh darn it all, it will come. I won't let Persona 5 NOT be on the PS3.

While gamers have been awaiting any sign that Atlus was beginning development on the game, or at least on some PS3 project, for the longest time there was nothing. The system was launched nearly 4 years ago, and there has so far been squat. Thankfully, though, Famitsu and Gamescom exist. Gamescom is the European E3; if you don't know what Famitsu is then I don't know WHAT you're doing. It's the premier gaming magazine in Japan. So while this pretty big event is going on, Famitsu has revealed some pretty big news to go along with it. Also, Tokyo Game Show (TGS) is in September, so they're also prepping for that.

Finally we have evidence that the Persona team is not allergic to the HD consoles. DRAMATICALLY I PRESENT TO YOU CATHERINE IN ALL CAPS (this is NSFW but, I mean, who reads my blog at work anyway? I don't think anyone who reads my blog even has a job):



Yeah. Catherine is not known to be related to the Persona universe, but who cares, really? It's an "adult horror action/adventure" game about a dudebro named Vincent, who appeared in Persona 3: Portable, a "listless salaryman, is the main character and his life turns into a nightmare, literally, when he meets the charming Catherine."

The game has a really cool art style that I love. The game play has yet to be seen, and I'm a baby so I don't really like the adult themes, but I'm holding out hope that this game turns out to be my kind of thing. I'm pretty excited.

Catherine's coming to the PS3 and 360 in Japan this Winter. We can look forward to seeing it sometime next year. I hope. (DUN DUN DUN!)

Relevant Things Going On in My Life Right Now #1

(Relevant meaning to this blog.)

HELLO :) I'm watching MTV's Return to Fat Camp. I live for the Fat Camp series. It's definitely one of my favorite guilty pleasures.

I could write a whole entry on it, but I've devoted enough space to MTV lately. So instead, I'm going to talk about the pop culture-y things I've been thinking about in my otherwise incessantly dull day! This may or may not become a more frequent thing! SO PREPARE.

• Lesbians Who Look Like Justin Bieber: It is exactly as its name implies. AND IT IS AWESOME. Some of these "Biebians" as the creepy Justin Bieber-lookalike who maintains it calls them looks so much like (male) Justin Bieber it is frightening and amazing. It's interspersed with actual Justin Bieber pics. A lot of the time I see them (BECAUSE I SPEND A LOT OF TIME ON HERE OKAY) and think, "Whoa, that lesbian looks EXACTLY like Justin Bieber!" but then I realize that it IS Justin Bieber. He is pretty girly, though, so it's probs a common mistake.

• Tuesday's episode of Glee: So, remember that it was kind of a make or break it for me? Well, it was pretty good. Neil Patrick Harris was, obviously, awesome. I laughed, bro. I laughed out loud. Kids these days would just be like "lol gleeee <33" to their friends on Facebook, son, without laughing for real, but me? I ACTUALLY LAUGHED. The episode was called "Dream On" so, um, here's the eponymous song (which I don't really like when NPH and Matty Morrison aren't rocking out to it). NPH is scary in it (ETA: clip fix'd): 

• Reruns of The Office on TBS: Tomorrow I plan on doing my FIRST EVAH TV reviews on this here blog. That means there's a 50-50 chance of me actually doing them! And if I do, you may find out about my tumultuous relationship with The Office. Here it is in a nutshell, though: There are only two amazing seasons of the show. One other season is very good. The other three are horrible. So horrible, in fact, that I tell people I have a tumultuous relationship with the show. It's that meaningful to me. Okay? Okay. Yesterday I watched reruns of two excellent Season 3 episodes (Season 3 is the "very good" season, by the way), and it made me sad that the show is so BAD now. They were "The Return" and "Ben Franklin." I stinking love those episodes. Those episodes alone warranted my Season 3 DVD purchase (that and my dream of becoming an Office historian). 

• LittleBigPlanet 2: I'm insanely excited for it. Me and my homie G slice Laur-Laur tear LBP 1 UP. And, I mean, I've known about the sequel for awhile. Come on, I read video game news everyday. But I just read that it'll feature custom voice acting, which is a cool (albeit frightening) proposition. I'm going to definitely put really disturbing voices in my RPG (because you can make RPGs and other types of games in the sequel, too :D).  

• Elliott Smith: He's dead. :( I mean, he's been dead for almost 10 years now. But I was listening to "The Biggest Lie," "Needle in the Hay," and "The White Lady Loves You More" today and bro, it made me sad. People like Conor Oberst (who I do like) try to emulate his style, but there's no one alive who's better. Download: "The Biggest Lie", "The White Lady Loves You More"

• Rotten Tomatoes ranks SNL movies: Obviously, most of them are horrible. I've seen Coneheads, Superstar, Wayne's World, and Wayne's World 2. Didn't like any of them. And isn't it funny that Al Franken starred in Stuart Saves His Family? And that It's Pat! even exists?

Yeah, that's about it. And now, I'm going to return to Fat Camp! Get it?! YES!
