fannish ramblings
I'm thinking I might reuse my Katara costume for Minifest tomorrow. Probably technically not allowed, Avatar being American and Manifest being strictly-Japanese, but I want to use the costume again, and I want to find some fellow fans to squee about the finale trailer with.

Talking of which... WTH, Nickelodeon. Why on earth do you think it's a sensible idea to give us a SEVEN MONTH BREAK between episodes? ARGH.

Have been playing a few games lately. My latest favourite is Professor Layton and the Curious Village, which is brain-teaser puzzles mixed in with a mystery story and gorgeous 2D animation. Very fun, and I'm looking forward to the sequel already!
I might cosplay as Luke sometime. It's just a matter of finding all the bits of costume at op shops....

Also playing Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy, which is not bad either. Sphinx's gameplay is pretty basic platformer-ness; the Mummy's is a bit more interesting but unfortunately is not the main focus of the game.

I also bought a GameCube and Pokémon Colosseum, which is an interesting variation on Pokémon battling - all the battles are two-on-two, plus sometimes you have to capture Pokémon mid-battle, so the strategy is a bit different to usual.

....I really need to finish Atelier Iris 3. Anytime I start playing it and making some progress, I find a new game to play and it gets abandoned. I'm practically up to the final boss, so I really should finish it now.... and also FFXII and Luminous Arc, both of which I got for Christmas, and neither of which are particularly good. FFXII's gambit system drove me up the wall (give me straight turn-based battle, or let me button-mash my enemies, but don't make me stand there and watch my character attack!), and LA is just not very interesting and the voices are painful.

Oh yeah, and I've suddenly started playing computer pinball again. The space-themed one that comes with Windows. Current high score is a bit over 8 million points. ^_^

The FmA manga has been particularly awesome lately. Especially the last chapter (82)... *squee* He's back!

SEE YOU ALL AT MINIFEST!

	XD It's not like non-Japanese cosplay is banned from Manifest. I've seen people dressed as sci-fi characters or their D&D characters before. You just can't enter the contest, and there isn't one of those at Minifest anyway. There's cosplay chess, but I think the rules for that may be more relaxed? (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Yeah, I know it's not banned, it just doesn't seem quite the "right" thing to be wearing. ^_^; But yeah, it's just Minifest, so not a big deal. (Reply to this)(Parent)
