I missed out on playing the Klonoa series on all the platforms, and after playing the PSOne title ~Door to Phantomile~ which I bought in the flash sale for one dollar this weekend, I am thoroughly impressed by it and I want to go back and play more of them now. I usually just stick to RPGs and survival horror titles when I look for nostalgic experiences, but here I've found a jumping mechanic that I haven't quite seen before and it is really simple but pretty complex, in other words-- it's a good challenging platformer that's easy to get into but tough to master, in my case any way 'cause I'm a gaming idiot. 

The 2.5D perspective is pretty interesting and feels almost like a rollercoaster type ride, like a sonic game, but emphasis is on jumping. I like it a lot. It's quite vibrant, colorful and fun! Yup! Discovered something new!

I put Film Snob on the shelf for now. The last film I watched and just thoroughly enjoyed was GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY on blu-ray. It's so colorful and pretty to look at. 

TV Time

I don't know what is happening with the Walking Dead nowadays. Rick Grimes goes from normal to psychopath on a flip of a switch and just openly talks about killing people because their bad people? During the preview for next weeks episode one of the characters asks if he's doing it all on purpose for whatever reason? I just don't know? I guess that's what the show is. Everything changes in a second. I actually missed a couple of minutes of the show last week and didn't notice that one of the characters was killed? He was barely mentioned this episode too.   I was pretty shocked by last weeks Flash episode too. I couldn't believe they killed a character off the way they did. I saw the twist coming but not the actual death. I hope they keep that stuff up. Once Upon A Time starts off good at the beginning of the season and towards the end and the middle kind of goes off on a tangent, but still fun to watch. Last week we had a lot of Maleficent dragon so it would have been hard to top that one week later. An Ursula very special episode? Not quite. I also started watching Penny Dreadful. Its quite dark and gothic and it's very ME. I'll keep watching. 

Games

(Hyperdevotion Noire PSVita)
The Secret World got an update where they made it easier to level classes so you can get through areas a lot faster and see the whole story of the game if you are solo player. I've been diving back in to see if this is true. I've also been playing Hyperdevotion Noire on VITA and it's pretty good, not great, but good. It's like Final Fantasy Tactics or Disgaea but with chibi art style and it look really great on the VITA screen. I've also been playing Atelier Shallie on PS3, and honestly, I think I've found a new favorite genre. The game revolves around crafting, and requires you to make everything in the game, from items to weapons to armor and it also has JRPG turn based combat that is actually very good. I like the story too. I got Dino Crisis 1 & 2 to dig into on VITA as well as Gravity Rush and then Breath of Fire IV and Klonoa 2. 

What are the best games to get in the Flash Sale?

Gravity Rush for PS Vita is $0.81! OMG!

Here's the video for Ramuh Summon. Skip to halfway mark.

 

I was just wondering if anyone could share anything about it?

Okay, so I got around to watching another YA novel turned to film called "Maze Runner" and it wasn't all that bad.If you've played Pac-Man or at least seen the game in any capacity then you'll get the premise of the film, except in this film Pac-Man wants to escape the maze forever. Actually, I was kind of surprised at how the film just got right to the middle and end parts withough giving any kind of beginning? I don't know when or where this maze takes place aside from the fact that everyone speaks English and its a distopia movie, I assume it takes place in the far future or a parallel universe or whatever. 

Since Feb was kind of a dry spell for games, for me anyhow, I've been watching more films than gaming or reading. As for games, I finished up Metroid Prime and started playing more Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate on WiiU. 

For some reason Divergent never really caught my attention when it released. All I remember about it was that it was a cheap looking knock-off of Hunger Games, but after watching I  have to say that although they share similarites, I think Divergent sets itself apart enough for me to have enjoyed the movie on its own merits.
