Basically I am dead(-ish). And busy playing Persona 4. Will (probably/hopefully/finally) have something of interest to say soon. :| Related: While I've managed to avoid falling into a mild depression like I do every winter, I've instead been hit by the boring stick. Sorry I'm so boring all the time lately.

Speaking of P4, I've currently logged in more than 51 hours in it. I would be further along had I not been burned out on level grinding by the time the Void quest came along. ._.

Main character
Name -- Kusanagi Shiro. I AM SO TERRIBLE AT COMING UP WITH COOL NAMES YOU GUYS. Its probably obvious that I just stuck two names I like randomly together. Shiro(u) is basically my go to name for anything, while Kusanagi is taken from the very incredible Kusanagi Motoko, from Ghost in the Shell. I'm guessing I subconsciously wanted my MC to, like his namesake, be awesome and bad ass. And he is. Guy is a pimp. [currently dating second of many possible girlfriends]

Cool names? X3 My roommate and I just used 'Seta Souji' from the manga. We fail.

I have like almost 100 hours logged on P4 because I have no life and I also left it twice when I fell asleep. Oops. I had 94% of my compendium when I started a second cycle though, cause I couldn't get the final 6%. They were Ultimate personae of their arcana I didn't have max S-Links for. D:

I completely forgot about the P4 manga, so I totally would have named my guy Seta Souji as well if I had remembered. XD Generally if I have to name my character (and there's no default option D:) I just end up looking around my room for some sort of lame inspiration, hence the Kusanagi portion of my name. Damn you Ghost in the Shell! Oh well, at least its better than when my brother and I would name our Final Fantasy characters Butt or something. -_- < /rambling>

Random: My brother is amazed by the amount of hours someone can put into a SMT/Persona game. I put in nearly 200 hours into P3 and he was flabbergasted. I wonder how long it will take me to complete P4.

Did I mention that the 90 hours was WITH me cheating with experience codes on a codebreaker? I only spent a few hours level grinding. >> I can't imagine what it'd be if I didn't fudge it. I just didn't have enough time to grind that much.

Phew, I'm glad you mentioned that. When you said you logged in 90 hours for P4 I was beginning to think that maybe I was just incredibly slow at this game! XD I seem to spend forever level grinding.
