My friend Jason, who came for my birthday back in February, decided he was going to spoil the hell out of me again... in the presence of his wife and daughter, no less. The visit lasted about a week, which is one reason why I haven't posted much. Anyway - so! This little mod that I've got here allows me to play PSP ISOs, and holy shit, I've had so much fun with it. I haven't even touched my tiny UMD collection since... partially because I got ISOs of the games I own like Dissidia Duodecim and Star Ocean Second Evolution as well as games I didn't have. All the games I bought on the PSN work, too, so I don't lose what I've bought. It's fucking AWESOME. I have a 32GB Massive memory card and I still have 12GB open on it. I have no idea what I'm going to do with all that space. I have just... SO MANY GAMES. I have room to put all of the Final Fantasy series from FFs I-IX, which, by the way, I now have the great PSX Trinity as my brother calls them.
You want a list of the games I put on here? Sure!

I haven't touched anything else. I've been in RPG/Puzzle/Rhythm/Fighting game heaven.
Oh, and Jason also brought another surprise for me. Did you know that the movie Labyrinth got a video game? Well I didn't know that either, because apparently, it was Japanese only. So you know what Jason did? He found out I'm a fanatic for it and made a cart that can play on an American NES... just for me. I had such a squeegasm I don't even... just... FUCK. IT'S LABYRINTH THE VIDEO GAME AND I FUCKING LOVE IT.
OH. And then he said "you know what I didn't do? I didn't buy you a gift for your birthday."
I was like "what? you fucking made me an NES and gave me Final Fantasy II to go with it."
Then he said "no. but I didn't buy you a gift."
I said "dude you MADE me shit, stop it, your wife's gonna get jealous."
He said "she isn't gonna get jealous. I spoil her on a daily basis."
So he just handed me a bookman's bag and said "here ya go!"
Inside it was a copy of Growlanzer Generations (parts II and III) and the Japanese exclusive for Growlanzer IV. I done LOST MY SHIT. I couldn't do anything but squee. Because, not sure if you guys know about this, but Growlanzer is like Star Ocean with me and Eric. We play it together. It's one of the series that he got me into. While we were in Germany, we actually went and sat through both of them in two days, just getting all the endings in one go. And while my PS2 is not modded and I can't play the G4, I just hugged it because I didn't even KNOW there was a fourth Growlanzer, and I SOOOO WANT TO PLAY IT. I know there's a new PSP game for the series, and I want to get the actual boxed copy for that and not just get an ISO. So I can go "bitch, look at my Growlanzer, it's fucking great".
And then Eric and I had one of our best nights ever this week. I introduced him to Vocaloid. We sat and watched a Vocaloid concert on youtube and I showed him the games I got because of the hack. Watching Rocky IV while playing Itadaki meant for some very hilarious conversation. It all started with "who you playin' with" and I answered "Alena" he said "who's Alena again?" and I just gave him this look like "and you call yourself a Dragon Quest fanboy. Princess Alena, the Tomboy Tsarevena herself" (yes, the name of my tumblr? that's where I got it from. Alena's title in DQIX. she's my tumblr's mascot, hahahaha)
Best week ever? Pretty damn close. Everything pretty much worked out. Anna made a new friend, and
things are feeling really great right now! Tee hee~
So... um yeah.
Fuck.
