Okay, Rak has to Geek out somewhere about a bunch of games and stuff coming out.

So, as the past week was chalk full of NEWS in various geeky circles, I have gone out and investigated and updated myself on other geeky areas, leading to a geeky overload I must share. This will have a lot of cuttext. Why? Because I feel like it.

Final Fantasy XIII-2: Come on Rak, that's easy. They just need to slap character creation in front of 25 hours worth of cut scenes with the occasional quick time mini game.

Marvel: What is up with this company? I know they've always been the one that focuses more on characters with issues, but really it's like half the staff are either angry bitter people, or are too lazy to figure out how to write likable characters.

Nope, because that isn't running down a long tunnel!

I only check in on Marvel for Deadpool, Pixie, and Rockslide. I have given up everywhere else. I am quite pleased that Santo is right now a running homage to Casey Jones.

Maybe that's literally all you do. No cut scenes, no monsters, no dialogue, just running down the most beautifully rendered hallway ever created.

At least DC has the decency to alternate between awesome plots and mindblowing crap every so often.

We probably shouldn't be giving them ideas for what to do with this game.

Far as I can tell, Marvel gets more awesome the further away from event plots you get. So long as you aren't involved in whatever the hell is going on, you're pretty golden. All the stuff in the "To Serve and Protect" was golden, but it's all short and far separated from the current plot.

As far as XIII-2, I heard rumblings about that before the conference actually. So it's not like it's fully a surprise for me. Not to mention there's hints from Episode 0 that already pointed to the fact that they had plans for a sequal I hear. I'm only about halfway through the novel so can't say for certain, but that's what the people who've finished it have said anyway. The more you know on that one I guess? It's a new canon for me to be rping from so I've been doing my research like whoa to make sure that I actually get things at least half right.

Oh yeah, the URL was bought around the time Type-0 got a copyright. Just I didn't expect the title to be released on such a short order timeframe.

Until they prove me wrong/state otherwise, I'm going to assume they've been working on it the entire time. >_> Shhhh.

Also? As much as this makes me a really bad fan? The only reason I'm still looking for KH3 is because I'm still hoping against hope that Rinoa will be in it.

Now I shall go back to being pouty that Dissidia 012 has Laguna in it instead. BECAUSE I REALLY WANTED RINOA TO BE IN IT BAW.
