I hope everything's been going well and that you have a wonderful Christmas! Enjoy this Toradora picture since sadly I could not add the picture I found of Natsu dressed up as a reindeer

I want the happy pillow XD I've been busy with exams but how have you been? :D I'm on holidays now WOOOOOO! I've started watching naruto and nearly finished the first series before the 3yr timeskip into shipuden. What have you been watching lately? :D

I completely understand. I have gotten to the grind for my semester-long project, so I have been cutting into my sleep schedule now. 

Just let me know  if you have any trouble, and I can try my best to help. 

You are playing Journey? Fun. I love the artwork and atmosphere of that game. I was disappointed that my sister started but never went back to playing it. I played the entire thing in one sitting. Of course, when I get into a game I tend to play for hours like that. 

I don't think I'd want to watch Pewdiepie play it since it would ruin the atmosphere. Was he cracking jokes constantly like usual? It just feels wrong to be laughing during such a dark game. Though I guess all his horror games are dark, so...I don't know. I just feel like it is better to watch him play games with shallow stories since it doesn't matter so much when he ruins the atmosphere. I watched him play the DLC for The Last of Us and he didn't ruin the feel, though. 

I do have a PS3 and a Network account. My username is PhoenixRush. Can you? I only have a handful of friends on there and hardly do anything with it. I thouh you could just send messages and play online games. See, I thought the thing about playing games with people who didn't have it was just a DS thing. Lol, I feel as embarassed at not knowing things as you.

I have to play Portal for my class, so my classmates told me that I could get it cheaper on Steam. While I knew what Steam was, I'd never used it. I was asking them all how Steam works, like a total noob XD. I'm still trying to completely understand how it works. I can figure out how to get the games, but I have no idea how you connect a controller.

Don't be sorry I completely understand, I've been swamped with work myself and am not on as frequently either :)

Yes in order to get the full feel and truly experience another culture, you have to actually join the culture. Staying in the 'touristy' parts is lovely, but when you stay in the more communal areas that's when you really learn about the people and area. 

No that's a good thing, and even some of the anime I didn't particularly enjoy I still appreciate, it just wasn't to my taste. 

Wow your teacher sounds amazing, i have a really friendly chemistry teacher and she sometime sneaks us sweets lol 

We don't really celebrate thanks giving in London, but there are events in some areas, so I might attend one if its not to far and I'm not drowning in holiday h/w. What about you?

I actually have no idea what the girl on my signature is from (or if she is from anything at all), since as I said someone made it for me as a gift. No your signature is not viewable right now. The sight used to automatically show your signature on your profile, but after the site overhaul they were replaced with those blank "Life on Anime" and "Life on Manga" bars. You can still show your signature, but to do so you need to go to your signature tab, copy the BBC code, and then paste it in your profile.

Oh, yes. I am often like that as well unless I really like something. If I get into playing a game, I usually play it nonstop until I finish. But if I don't, then it can take years for me to finish playing.

I have a friend like that. My one friend stopped playing Xillia only because you didn't like the English voice actors, and my other friend stopped playing Graces because he didn't like the gameplay.

Fun. I'm going to just go through the games I own then :). You can play these other Tales games on PS3: Graces, Symphonia and Symphonia 2 (if you buy the Chronicles addition), and Zestiria. Final Fantasy (my second favorite game series) has XIII, XIII-2, Lightning Returns, and the HD Remaster of X and X-2. Alice Madness Returns (a malee game) is amazing! Technically, it is also a sequel, but if you get a new copy of the game you can dowload the first game using a code. If not, then I can give you a short recap. But yeah, I highly recommend this game because it has my favorite artwork of any game I've played. It is also really fun if you like dark, twisted themes. Some other games I have are Ar Tonelico Qoga: Knell of Ar Ciel (another RPG), Star Ocean: The Last Hope (a scifi RPG), Wrath of the White Witch (Ni no Kuni) (another RPG, but in this one you fight as little monster-type familiars), Eternal Sonata (another RPG) which is about Chopin in a dream world while on his death bed (it sounds kind of weird, but it is interesting and has many many music references it makes me happy), Okami where you play as a wolf goddess (there is also a sequel about her adorable puppy son, but that is for PSP I think), Folklore which is an interesting game about the underworld, Catherine which is a puzzle game about this guy who is cheating on his fiance, Journey which is an interesting abstract game where you go on a journey to reach this mountain, DBZ Budokai and Dragonball Raging Blast which are both just fighter games, and Hakuoki which is an otome game that I haven't played yet, but there are anime and a manga of it. 

Devil May Cry is also a fun malee game, but I found it harder than Alice and coudln't finish. Heavy Rain is a mystery game where you have to try and figure out who the killer is. Mass Effect is really fun, but certain parts can be a challenge. The Walking Dead is also fun. It lets you make choices about who to save from the zombies and stuff.

Hope that helps. I probably know other games for PS3, but those are the only ones I owe, played, or have seen walkthroughs of.
