Since this is my first next-gen console, I wasn't sure how earning trophies integrated with facebook. Like I'd seen posts by people where it lists trophies they just earned, so I wanted to do that too because I'm a total braggart like that. Unless I have some setting wrong, it looks like they're not posted on the fly, but whenever you sync your trophies to your PSN account? In any case, I've already gotten the army of one trophy (defeat 1000 enemies in a single board) without even trying, so it looks like they do throw way more enemies at you.

Anyways, after playing through DW7 some more, I've learned a few more things. Well, one thing I forgot to mention is that they finally ported over that one thing from SW, where you can press L2 to call your horse. So no more trying to find your horse when you need to travel a lot of ground fast. But yeah, there is no "free mode", so its not like the previous games, where you could play old levels over and over again to power people up so they're usable. That's not actually as annoying as I'd feared, mainly because of how the game works now. ( cut for your benefit )

Okay, since DW7 seems to have a lot more narration than the previous games, its totally weird to hear the way pronounce things. I wanna say that this time around they've tried to be more accurate, but it still sounds totally odd to my ear. Now I knew Cao Cao should be pronounced "tsow-tsow" as opposed to "cow cow". But when playing through the battle of Chi Bi, apparently its pronounced "Chur-bee"?! And then Sun Quan, which I always thought was pronounced "Kwan", its apparently "Sun-Shur-an"?! Even Zhang He, its not "hey", but apparently "huh"?!

But I digress, "Zhang-Huh" is queenier than ever, but I find it interesting that he finds Xiahou Huan to be the "prettiest" of the generals. Maybe Yuan is a bear? Say what you will about the Wei, yeah, they're ruthless and are portrayed as the "bad" faction, but at least they own it. They're that way in order to end the chaos and unite the land. The Shu and Wu are every bit as conniving and ruthless, but they try to act like they're the "good" guys in all this.

Anyways, took a break from DW to see Hanna. It was a pretty decent flick. I can see how some call it the anti-Sucker Punch, because instead of flashy visuals and sexed up heroines, they go for more of a suspenseful story, and a more serious, brutal heroine. Hanna is like X-23/Cassie Cain to the Sucker Punch girls Sailor Scouts. I mean, I enjoyed both movies, they're just radically different takes on the bad-ass ass-kicker chick.
