E3 has come and gone this week, and there were a lot of news to fly out of it. PlayStation 4 confirmed to have no DRM, Microsoft is still being Microsoft, and games games games. Right now I'm mostly excited for Metal Gear Solid V. I'm a huge Metal Gear Solid fan, so of course a new trailer gets me super excited. I'm also looking forward to Final Fantasy XV, Kingdom Hearts III, Super Smash Bros., and more that would just take me too long to list here. The next few years of gaming are looking to be awesome.

As for current gaming, I messed up this week. I once again forgot to post the forum post until later in the week, so at this time I'm the only one to be hosting anything. I'll update the blog if I get any last minute additions.

So at the very least, let's play with ourselves tonight!

I've been hearing about a new anime called Attack on Titan for a few weeks now. After hearing so much about it, I figured why not give it a shot? I watched the first eight episodes in one day. It was that good. The show is about humans who live safe behind some large walls, protected from the Titans outside. After one hundered years of living safe behind the walls, a colossal Titan, several times larger than any other Titan, comes down and breaches the most outer wall, letting the rest of the Titans in to destroy the city and kill all humans. Mankind must now fight to protect the inner walls, and do what they can to protect the future of mankind. I really like the concept of the show, of mankind struggling to survive against an enemy that was way more powerful than they are. Currently the show is up to nine episodes, and I can't wait for more.

As for FNF tonight, we have a lot of games going on. I mean a lot. Look at all those games down there. They're calling your names. Maybe if you treat those games nice, they'll accept your offer for a second date. You never know.

Let's do this.

Holidays always throw me off balance when it comes to stuff I need to do. Memorial Day did that to me this week, by throwing me off and making me forget to post the forum thread until yesterday, as well as making me forget to write this blog earlier. So please excuse me for the shortness of this blog. I just need to get it up. Hahaha get it up. Get it?

Boners.

As I wait for new episodes of Super Sentai come out in Japan every week, I sometimes watch older seasons. As of now, there are 29 seasons of the series that I still haven't seen, so I have a long way to go. The current one I'm watching is called Mahou Sentai Magiranger. They're a team of magicians out to stop the evil empire Infershia from opening the gate between their world and ours and conquering Earth. The team gets their powers from their mother, who was also a magician, to help in the fight. However, she died in battle very shortly after. I really like that aspect of the story, because the five Magiranger are suddenly without their mother, and have no clue what to do, or even how to use their magic properly. I feel it really helps drive the character progression as they overcome obstacles and learn new spells. I'm about halfway through the season now, and while I wasn't a fan of it at first, I'm starting to like it a lot more now.

For not Sentai things, we got some gaemz. Come play them. We would appreciate that. Y'hear?

Anamanaguchi's new album Endless Fantasy came out this week. I've never really listened to much of their music before, with the exception of the Scott Pilgrim game soundtrack and a few of their other songs, but I figured I'd give the new album a shot, especially since I donated to their Kickstarter and got a digital copy. Needless to say, I'm loving it. I highly recommend Endless Fantasy if you're into Anamanaguchi's style of music.

As for games, we got a few. Come play em', and love em'. Ya' hear?
