Celceta for Vita... Shells and Cheese?

Picked-up Tearaway and Ys: Memories of Celceta for Vita, but haven't had a chance to spend any quality time with them yet, which is especially sad because I hear Tearaway is incredibly good and Ys is the reason I bought a Vita :(

Got to try an XBOX ONE though; Forza 5 and Killer Instinct; very pretty, but nothing groundbreaking during my short time with them. I like the UI better than the PS4's, and the controller's fine... But yeah, that's about it.

Ooh! Rayman Fiesta Run on Android! Really cool, but why must I submit my Google account just to play? :\ Also, Type:Rider... Pretty neat :)

More Newishness!

PS4: Contrast is kinda cool; FIFA is... FIFA.

Wii U: Wind Waker HD was fine; Super Mario 3D World is awesome; and Sonic Lost World might be kinda fun to watch, but I don't think I ever want to play it again... Maybe the 3DS version is better.

Nexus 5: Yes.

Bought Ni no Kuni, new, for $20.

Greatness [Still] Awaits

Played a PS4 demo unit the other day! The physical system looks great, the controller feels great, the demos were... A lot of stuff I'd seen before. Spent the most time with Knack... Which, I have concluded, is a pretty shitty demo.

Saw an XBOX One... It was large.

Bought Bangai-O Spirits complete for $5!

Ridiculous Fishing is now on Android!

Android 4.4 is alright, I guess!

Using batch files and Visual Basic scripts to automate domain printer updates feels kinda silly, but I'm doing it anyway because Group Policy Objects weren't propagating quickly enough for everyone last time I tried that.

More books... Less time with handhelds.

Gonna focus on A Machine For Pigs and Burial At Sea for now.

Oldschool!

Got sucked-in to the 2012's Death Rally remake... I'd read so many negative reviews and consequently avoided it, but it was recently deeply discounted, and I had to see for myself. Well, it's not awesome - certainly not as awesome as I remember the original being - but it's pretty fun and rewarding... And kinda short.

Also snagged the new Rise Of The Triad on sale, and it's supercrazygonuts! The original was really interesting, but never really held my attention beyond its initial moments; it was just too ridiculous... The new is just as ridiculous (that into cinematic is so awful), but feels a lot more solid... Like it has a foundation rooted in reality; much more organic that the first one.

Ooh, and Amnesia: A Machine For Pigs! I'm just getting started, but it's already so creepy! The implications of the journals and setpieces! The way the house shudders! Can't wait to see how pants-shittingly good this gets :)

Then, Outlast.
