Unversed

So I figured I'd write something, just because.

School's started again and I've already gotten used to it. Stuff is happening.
Like, there's a music festival coming up, so all classes are practicing a song (a very popular one) during free hours. Despite my singing voice being the equivalent of a bulldozer running over an Organ, I'm having quite a lot of fun.

There are no 3:rd year students left in the school, apparently they're all free because they're applying for universities. Unfortunately, no 3:rd years means no Kendo, since the class consisted mostly out of students from grade 12.

Oh, and due to some exchange students leaving for home, some hours have become free for the rest of us to use. So now I have two extra Japanese lessons per week, group discussion (fun times).

You might notice that I've been practicing my punctuation, as I really do overuse my commas.

...

Onwards to other stuff!


You might know that I acquired a PSP for christmas (a blue one, at that). And back on the 9:th I got myself Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep (the latest installment in the series) for it. Despite being marketed as the longest game yet (3 separate storylines for a total of 45 hours of gameplay) I finished it in 22 hours (over 5 days). I even managed to play through an entire storyline in just one day.

I obviously loved the game. And I'm still playing around with it for a 100% completion.
So what I'm trying to say is; if you have a PSP, get the game. It's a really good game in every prospect. Good gameplay, good graphics, good story, good characters and perfectly adequate control. Despite being a prequel for the Kingdom hearts series, people who don't even like the franchise should consider buying this. The story is strong enough to stand by itself and the game plays perfectly on the handheld.

After being all review-y about that, I should probably tell you how much I like my PSP.
Sure, it has a few drawbacks but there's one thing it has: Power.
When I first played the game on it, I couldn't believe such graphics were possible on a portable game system. It looked just as good as Kingdom Hearts II, a game for the PS2 (a stationary console). All I thought was "holy crap! It't like a portable Playstation". Then I remembered its name and it all made sense to me.

Another thing about the PSP is that it's magical. No seriously, listen to this.
When I switched discs from Dissidia to Birth By Sleep, I turned it off on the game menu, switched discs and turned it on.
Judge my surprise when the menu screen for Dissidia popped up on my screen.
That's right, it can play games without the disc, and it's possible to turn it off at any time during gameplay and it will just act as a pause. No more of the "I need to get to a save spot" or "I'm in a battle, I can't pause now". You can turn of "the damn thing" whenever you need to.

So that's about it right now. Later on today I'll go bowling with my host family, I guess it will be fun.
