A Brief Comment on Megiddo
December 26th, 2008
Leaf’s Megiddo came out today, and while I was looking forward to playing it (and still am), unfortunately, the 3D is waaaaaaaaaaaaay too much for my poor laptop, making this the first and only visual novel to give it any issues ever. Way to go Leaf. I won’t have access to another computer to install this on for at least a couple weeks, and by then, there will be plenty of other things to talk about, so it’ll likely get pushed back. I will say that they earn points for including a ‘Battle’ option to play just through the RPG portions, but that gets taken right away by forcing you to sit through a few minutes of unskippable exposition at the start. Somebody needs to explain ‘speed’ to them.
So, anyway… if you were interested in Leaf’s new game, it’s finally out after about four delays… and everything about it indicates that it should be much much better than Tears to Tiara. I’m still not sold on using 3D models instead of art for the characters, but when things are going at 3 FPS, it’s hard to really get a good grasp of anything. I’m sure Hemisphere and others will have something a little more substantive to say within a few days, so if you’re interested, keep an eye out.

A Very British Christmas
December 26th, 2008
The Doctor Who Christmas Special was rather good. I don’t think I liked it as much as The Runaway Bride, but it was a damn sight better than Voyage of the Damned or The Christmas Invasion. It did veer a little towards the over-the-top silly at the end, what with the 50 foot tall Cyberking stomping around, but I’m overall pleased with it. I’m not really as much of a fan of Wallace & Grommit in general (and yes, I already know this special was leaked to the interwebs a couple weeks ago), but it’s nice to see serious animation living on outside of anime and 20 minute US toy commercials. The story was predictable, the villain was predictable, there really weren’t a ton of jokes, and the height of my enjoyment came from the line "I’m in bread too."
