No thanks. I have been having way more fun taking my time in Silent Hill. Makes the write ups more interesting, I feel.

I'm bringing "taking my time" to a whole new level with Tokyo Mirage Sessions. My characters are all between level 40 and 42, and I've put in about 25 hours so far. Despite all that, I'm still at the very beginning of Chapter 3. I'm taking SO long exploring everything I can, getting stage levels up to do side quests, and doing every optional request I can find. I'm really digging the game, so I'm perfectly content to take a damn week or two to finish it (especially since I'll be gone from Thursday until Monday for BronyCon).

So I'm taking a break from Tokyo Mirage Sessions to let my gamepad charge, so I decided I'd browse through my Steam library for something to play while I wait. I had my Backloggery pulled up, too, and I kept noticing that there were a couple games listed on my Backloggery that weren't listed in my Steam library. I got curious, so I looked some up, and it turns out that I completely forgot to activate and install ANY of my May Humble Monthly Bundle games. I added them all to my Backloggery, and I listed them in my Games Acquired here, but I never actually got around to activating them on Steam.

I blame the end-of-year exam stress. :lol:

1.5 seconds, I think most people will be. .15 seconds though? Ehhhh I dunno if I'd notice. Depends on the type of game I suppose.

Dat feeling when the first FAQ for a game you've been stuck on forever finally shows up.

Yep, wishing there were some for material locations in Tokyo Mirage Sessions...

Honestly the only ones that you need to be aware of are the two rare mirages. Everything else you'll get tons of if you just fight everything in your way and nail long sessions. And there's good threads on the message board for the locations of the two rare ones.

Who and WHY does anyone like motion blur in FPS's? Thank goodness this is an option in most games, but I think some of the early ones that did it didn't have an option to turn it off. Maybe Crysis or something.

Anyone have a quick synopsis on Tokyo Mirage Sessions? I thought it was related to Fire Emblem because of the #FE, but I guess not? Feel free to tell me to Google it. ;)
