I watched a few gameplay clips from Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World. I'm sure it's an okay game, but they butchered Lloyd's voice. :<

Me: "Alright, time to play Battlefield 3."

Battlefield: "lolno, it's update time."

So I've been reading this Tales of Graces fan fiction piece by Pengiechan known as Islands in the Sea. It's a very good read, so go check it out on fanfiction.net when you can (there's some advertising for ya). Really, very good stuff. :>

This is some fan art of a (heartbreaking) scene from the 7th chapter of the fic. Such sadness. D:  Gah, unfortunately I do not have scanner so the quality of the drawing is a bit low. Nonetheless, I'm proud of the way it turned out. :D

Ah, I love Hubert and Pascal. :)

OTP. :) Incomplete drawings, but together they are making me happy at the moment. :))

Black Ops II Wii U: "Instead of splitting the screen down the middle when you're playing with a buddy, one player can now play on full screen on the TV while the other plays with the second full screen on the game pad."

Is this...? Is this the end of...screen-peeking? This is...!

I think I need to draw more HubertxPascal. :D They're so cute.

Tales of Graces Victory Quotes #01

"To Lhant's Triplets of Terror!"

Lloyd and Sheena in Heimdall

Sheena: ...Say, what are you planning to do after this?

Lloyd: After this?

Sheena: When the worlds are reunited, our journey will be over, right? So, what then?

Lloyd: Well, I think I want to go on a journey to collect all the Exspheres.

Sheena: Oh...that's a good idea. Could I...come along with you?

Lloyd: Huh? You don't have to go back to Mizuho?

Sheena: ...I want to be with you.

Lloyd: S-sure. I want to be with you too.

After around half an hour of fighting Fodra Queen she finally begins Dual the Sun. iPhone at hand, I began following instructions to activate Blue Earth.

Analog stick, not directional buttons. Analog stick. This is what I have learned.

"I failed everyone."

"This...can't be happening!"

"Forgive me..."

"I can...still move."

Yeah. I used to hear these kind of things a lot during boss battles. Life bottles galore.

Watching Miyazaki's Spirited Away. Everything about this movie is amazing--the animation, the story, the score. Gah, they need to put the OST on iTunes. It's so beautiful.

I wonder when Answer by Dixie Flatline will be released on iTunes. I know I can't be the only one waiting for it.

The Tales of Graces soundtrack is quite beautiful. Unfortunately, it is missing tracks from the Lineage and Legacies arc. DAT ARCADIA GARDEN! :<

I drew this sketch of Hastune Miku a few months back. This is one of those sketches that I actually prefer over the finished, colored version. ”すみません” (pronounced su-mi-ma-sen) means "sorry," for any of you who are wondering. :3

I Love Final Fantasy, But...

I can't focus on playing Final Fantasy XIII, which I purchased around 2 weeks ago. Why? Because I'm busy trying to complete my second run-through of Tales of Graces F.

Tales of Graces signatures for everyone! Even though there's nothing super spectacular about these tags, I still like them. Feel free to use anywhere. :3
