I haven't played this yet but after reading the review I had to get it.
It's a game in which your goal is apparently to kiss every person and creature you meet in order win the heart of the girl of your dreams. You just know this is another one of those crazy Japanese games that will make no sense.
Impulse buy at $39.99+tax but I can already tell this will entertain me more than MKA did in within 10 minutes that I played.

Gunpey DS
---
Rockgamer said he got Gunpey DS for less than $10. Since this is Canada, I got it for $9.99+tax sometime shortly after that statement. I'm such a fool! I bought the same game for different platforms, and they were impulse buys. Mind you, they were the cheapest games I had ever got for a console. Let's compare:
__________________________________________________
Gunpey DS
- control is touchscreen which is clearly superior to the PSP version
- corollary: FLAWED MAJORLY! Anyone remember the complaints in Meteos where you could randomly clear stacks if you just scribble sporadically? That claim has no value in Meteos (strategy involved in true clearing there), but it applies directly to this game. As long as you keep sliding fragments down, you don't even have to think about making lines because you will somehow make lines mindlessly with all the switching.
- Bright colours, peppy characters, and kiddy stuff galore.
Gunpey PSP
- abstract, Lumines-like, minimalistic
- some skins are blinding, distracting and epilepsy-inducing
So I doubly regret it. I can't picture 2p being much fun either. I'm glad I bought FFXII months ago instead of this and Elite Beat Agents (tried it out...mainstream = <//3

One Piece Cards
---
I actually got these several weeks ago, but that makes for my third themed playing card set. (Fate Stay Night and FF X-2 being the others). I plan to waste money periodically to keep buying cards for the pretty pictures which are probably all Chinese bootleg anyways, since the exact same pictures are on posters and some of them could clearly be pieced together from the net with enough time. The circled card is the back picture of all the cards.
On a side note, I went back to the store and the 18+ version of Fate Stay Night cards was gone, so that's why I got One Piece instead :3 Hunter X hunter while becoming one of my favourite manga, seemed too old-looking anime-wise.

Dumpling Festival
---
I payed $1.50 to transfer this from my phone to here, I think. It's my cell phone picture now and my favourite picture of food. The Mandarin had the Dumpling Festival on Monday which I guess comes once a year or whatever. so I got 2 of each kind of sushi that I like, 2 of each kind of dumpling, arranged them like so and snapped it. There were actually more available dumpling kinds that I saw later. That was the most I had crammed onto my plate ever (I'm the kind that separates the food), so I didn't eat much after the 2nd plate for once and didn't eat dinner because the buffet was too delicious to forget.

New Camera
---
What a better way to celebrate with a little picture whoring...well just one here. My mom got an 8.0 megapixel camera cheao from a factory direct store, so naturally I always get the hand-me-downs of her neat technological purchases, leaving me with the 6.2 megapixel Hewlett-Packard one, which is a ...slight improvement (now that I look at it closely) from my 6.0 Bell Howell camera. Gah! I thought I could finally take awesome quality pictures, but one day I'll inherit the 8 megapixel camera and will have decent quality pics instead of just scanning. Maybe if I took a couple of photography classes in high school I could have squeezed the value out of this and know which settings for lighting and stuff to use in every single situation. Can't bother to set the view to "infinity", brightness to "semi", etc. each time anyways.

Japanese Music DDL
---
I am eternally bored with music but still dl/ed so much new stuff to listen to. looks like my musical taste has become a lot more hard-rocking over time, while retaining a touch of soft vocals, seeing as my favourite songs are now:
High and Mighty Color's - Suiren (Sorry, I don't know where to put mp3s so you can just click them, other than ripway)
Miyavi's - Rock and Roll is not Dead:
Can anyone recommend more music like this to me?
also Ikimono Gakari was very good, even when I listened to songs other than just HANABI (coming to mind, Hi Nageshi and Seishun no Tobira: )
From the site I've grown to love:
Tackey and Tsubasa (yes, this would be the J-equivalent of a boy band but I don't care), High and Mighty Color, Miyavi, Kawabe Chieco, Ikimono Gakari, and I need more rocking/slightly poppy artists to try and find (no Ayumi Hamasaki please, I know Koda Kumi, Masami Okui, Shiina Ringo, Chirinuruwowaka, and Go! Go! 7188, obviously, already)
There's more than music such as OPVs too! Thanks to anyone who has ever uploaded. I think I'll spread the love for Go! Go! 7188 especially since it's so hard to find their cds now.

Miscellaneous

You can at least skim this since I just put it in point form and highlighted the main points:
?
I go to Gamefaqs all the time and indulge in random matches, always dreading the onslaught of noobs spamming the big 3 ad nauseum. That or pros owning me hard with their long combo strings involving good supports. Never a happy medium -_-
