Okami and pirates

[darkelf105]

OOOOOH, I played Okami last night (finally!). OMG TEH PRETTY. It's supposed to look like Japanese paintings and not knowing much about Japanese art, I couldn't tell you how aesthetically close they are to the real deals, however, the graphics are gorgeous. You play as this celestial wolf named Amaterasu (who is also a Japanese sun goddess..I think, I have to look it up) and you have the power of the thirteen brush gods and basically, you calligraphy. You use brush strokes to fix things and fight things and it's awesome, like being in a scroll. And you beat things with a giant mirror until they go down and then draw on them. Hehehe. Excited. I'm only about forty minutes in, so I couldn't tell you to buy this, but so far, it's fun, really fun, so I recommend at least to rent it. I have, however, the feeling that this game is a keeper. My only quibble being that since it's set up like a story scroll, there didn't need to be voice overs and the voice overs are funky. Like a bunch of different voices speaking in gibberish with a different pitch and timbre for the different characters. It took some getting used to, but besides that, flawless. I mean one of your first missions is to fill in the Celestial River with stardust, how cool is that?

And in further news, I think the skull and crossbone shoes I bought yesterday make me play better. Definitely wore them all last night because they are the coolest things, evar. And they match the pirate polos we get to wear for summer reading this year. OH! And they DID finally turn the front desk into a ship. So win.

Lol. No we decided to make an account for our coworker Cheryl. I went and added some people to her friends page and found her a couple userpics. Then I commented to let Katie know I had gotten the account name.

[mrssakurapotter.livejournal.com]

Ohhh... no fair.
I was in her friends list so assumed I knew her.
Lol.
ASS U ME

I can't wait to meet her--next Sunday. *sniff*

[rayechu.livejournal.com]

Lol.
Sorry to confuse you Philly. I added you because I figured you would be meeting soon anyways.

[mrssakurapotter.livejournal.com]

Lol. No prob. *adds as friend*
Yayness!

She might as well know what she's getting into. Lol.
I'm a hyperactive part-time ditz. ^_^

[rayechu.livejournal.com]

Nah. I'm sure Cheryl will think you are super cool.

[mrssakurapotter.livejournal.com]

^_^
I hope so.
Lol.

That still won't change the fact that I'm... well, to put it bluntly, crazy.


(My messages are SLOWLY trickling in... after I've responded to them twenty times over!)

[rayechu.livejournal.com]

I don't think your crazy at all.

[mrssakurapotter.livejournal.com]

*mimes "just a bit"*
^.~

[rayechu.livejournal.com]

Nah. I could tell you some real crazy stuff, but it's kinda late. And not LJ-appropriate.

[mrssakurapotter.livejournal.com]

Lol. Okay harmlessly (unless one pisses me off, grrr Dubai Ditz grrr) eccentric.

[rayechu.livejournal.com]

Heehee. You really do like your new icon huh? I am dying to rewatch that movie. I think tomorrow is going to be an anime day so I can watch Mononoke Hime and finish Wolf's Rain.

[mrssakurapotter.livejournal.com]

Oh... I really do love it. Thank you! ^_^

I want to watch it again too... I have to buy it, and all of Miyazaki's stuff.
Wolf's Rain is awesome.

Okami was really pretty! I wanna see more of it.
