WO blather- What the frick? Okay, I had to look the Katsuie thing up, and apparently he did have the twin axes in SW2:XL! I have no recollection of that all. I looked back in my LJ (hey, this thing is good for something) under the sw2 tab and I do comment on him having a good moveset, but I don't go into specifics. I didn't mention the weapon, but thinking about this more, I seem to now remember thinking he did twin axes better than Pang De in DW5.

Still, I remember everyone else from SW2's moves pretty well. And its not like I didn't play Katsuie a bunch in SW2:XL, because I fired it up in the old PS2 and apparently I maxed him out! Actually, I was more shocked that I hadn't maxed everyone out, there were 7 people who weren't at level 70: Hideyoshi, Nene, Mitsunari, Oichi, Okuni, No, and Takeda. Which given frigging Yoshimoto was maxed I'm totally skeptical! Why the hell would I play that freak to completion and not some of the aformentioned?

But I digress, my only guess as to not remembering Katsuie is he wasn't in the original WO? But neither were Kojiro and Gracia, but when I played them, nothing seemed unfamiliar. I mean, I know Kojiro was my favorite SW2:XL character, but Gracia didn't feel like I'd never played her before.

Anyhoo, I've started using a new grinding level for weapons- Dong Zhou's ambition. Its a DLC stage, 10 stars, pretty easy though. Well, up until the end, where it can be very dangerous because Magoichi brings a crapload of rifleman who can wipe you out if you don't move out of the way fast and quickly kill them. Well, that and being a hard difficulty, if you get unlucky and get hit by an enemy officer's musou directly, its auto death. As I said, I'd been doing Rescue at Xi Ling, which has way more officers, but takes slightly longer to complete. I was also doing Dueling Heroes, which is another fun stage since you get to take on hordes of demons with several officers, plus Achilles, Kojiro and Nemea (or Musashi if you're playing Nemea). Its about as easy as DZ's Ambition, but one less star, so why not go for the same difficulty, but better rewards?

Although given the randomness of the appearance of gold attributes, it is very frustrating when I don't get anything. Or I get the wrong things, like confluence.

Ugh, didn't fall asleep until past 1230 last night, and for some reason I ended up waking up around 545.

So clevemire was telling me about that Charlize Theron movie, "Young Adult", and her not remembering Patton Oswalt. Actually, I hadn't that happen yet to me after HS (sadly, people do remember me, which is not necessarily a good thing), although I did get offended once when I was helping this girl out in computer lab senior year, and she didn't remember who I was, even though we had English together the year before! Heh, the GMA says I'm horrible for saying this, but she was like some nobody! I mean, the popular kids knew who I was, how does she not know who I am? Hey, I managed to remember her, and its like, who the hell is she? Really, she was one of the least remarkable people in the class, which I guess made her remarkable in her unremarkableness. I couldn't tell you now, but back then, I could prolly tell you something about everyone else in the class, except her. I think the most I could come up with is that boring girl, L-something. She may have been crushing on one of the footballers in the class. Maybe I wouldn't have minded if it was some other class, but English was one of the classes I didn't feel invisible. Or maybe I'm just thinking that because I actually talked to people in that class. Well, mostly the girl I'd like since Freshman year, and that was our only class together. And only until she finally realized I had a thing for her, and then everything got super awkward between us. But I digress, normally I'm fine with invisibility, because I always got to hear juicy things because people didn't realize I was there and could totally hear everything they said. But didn't think I faded into the background in English like I did in some other classes.

TV commentary:

Degrassi- This wasn't on, but they've started to release new promo pics for the upcoming season. I'm glad they're using Bianca more, because she's totally hot. I mean, Nina Dobrev is still the hottest chick to ever be on this show, but Alicia Josipovic is up there, if not number 2. (the two could practically be sisters!) I think she'll be the next one on this show to have something after her stint on Degrassi comes to an end.

Burn Notice- Dr. Cox as Michael's training officer is kinda amusing. Particularly when he does Coxian mannerisms, although he did not call Michael by girls names. But he did the whistle. ( spoiler cut )

Suits- ( spoiler cut )

WO Blather- ( cut for your benefit )

WO blather- Okay, the more true musous I see of the characters in SW3, the more I think the programmers did not take into account how unbalancing they are compared to those characters not in SW3. I mean, in that game, I assume those were supposed to be the "ultimate" attack, a last ditch effort to save yourself from overwhelming odds when your health is in the red. And doubling the damage and adding flame element to the DW musous, or adding a few more attacks to the end of the non-SW3 SW characters' musou really does not even things out.

Take Kotaro for example, he already had a phenomenal musou to begin with. Well, I'm a fan of the "rushing attack" musous, like he, Gan Ning, Zhang Liao, and Nobunaga have. I mean, its fun to do, and is definitely good for getting out of trouble in a pinch. Of course, the SW chars still have an advantage, because they keep running and carving through their enemies like butter until their musou meter runs out, while Zhang Liao and Gan Ning only rush for a few seconds. But anyways, Nobunaga's true musou, he'll stab into the ground and unleash a big powerful explosion after his musou runs out, which is bad-ass looking. Kotaro on the other hand, after his rush, extends his arm claws and starts spinning around like a blender. Which doesn't do as much instant damage as Nobunaga's, but does constant weaker damage over time that can fill the TTA gauge from empty to full in an instant.

During Rescue at Yi Ling, after the fire attack, I went a long run to rack up a 5000+ combo. I rushed into the fray with Kotaro's musou, which filled the TTA gauge, so I did a triple attack, and since Kotaro has osmosis, between that and the sheer number of enemies getting killed that someone would drop a musou filling item, my musou meter would fill up, so after the triple attack was done, I could immediately go into his musou again, which would refill the TTA gauge immediately, lather, rinse, repeat. I repeated the process at least thrice and just eventually ran out of people to kill.

But yeah, I have both his and Kojiro's weapons set up exactly the way I want them (verity/typhoon/osmosis +10/slay +10/wind +10/absorption +10/agility +10/prosperity +10 for Kotaro, brilliance/typhoon/slay +10/wind +10/absorption +10/agility +10/bolt +10/prosperity +10 for Kojiro, prosperity eventually being replaced with echo once I no longer need to get weapons). Between Kotaro's insane ability to go from musou to triple attack to musou and so forth, and Kojiro's moveset becoming ungodly with brilliance and typhoon, they really are avatars of death, especially given their blood thirsty, murderous attitude.
