It is all there in the back of my mind, the knowledge of the fact that I should be well asleep right at this very minute. So why in the heck am I still up and typing? Well as the title states, tonight is yet another night where I find myself unable to sleep. That or I've developed quite the ability to be able to type what I am thinking while I am asleep. Now that would be simply amazing to do folks, in my own humble opinion.
Well, I may as well make the most of my time awake and type up a thought or two that I have been meaning to jot down. For starters, as I have mentioned a post or two ago, there are quite a few games coming that I have some intent on owning in the near future. One of which was Dynasty Warriors: Gundam.
While I haven't put much more then an hour or two into it, which like Dot Hack//G.U., I don't think I have experienced enough to give a proper opinion about it just yet. I will say, however, it is a pretty standard affair and it certainly lives up to the Dynasty Warriors series. I'll admit, I am enjoying running around as Heero, the pilot of the Gundam Wing Zero.
But I do wonder about one thing... surely Heero was a interesting character in his own right, but what about Zechs? I was surprised to see him appear in the Original game mode, but he doesn't appear to be playable. I hope that he is, the Epyon looks awesome! And fun too!
Oh and a surprise for me today... my girlfriend insisted we go to Waikiki today to check out the airshow featuring the Thunderbirds. I believe there have been events done by the Airforce, which seems to have been going on all this week. Anyway, to make a long story short, the show was awe inspiring and just amazing to see those jets fly by in person. Surely they were loud and if you blinked, they were gone in a flash. Still, the show and those pilots were simply amazing nonetheless.
Off subject, though this ties into the Thunderbirds show to a certain degree. It took my girlfriend and I about an hour to get into Waikiki and about that much so to get back out. The air show itself lasted about 20 minutes. So basically we spent two hours to get in and out for a 20 minute show. Was it worth it? Sure. But man was that place (and all of the buses) packed!
And a final thought from this restless soul before I head out and attempt to sleep. We recently rented Dead or Alive (D.O.A.), which is based off of the video game of the same name. Anyway, I am astonished to say it is actually a pretty good movie! The action was fairly decent and the story (and the acting) wasn't anywhere near as bad as I thought it was going to be.
While it is far from being a classic, it is a fun movie to watch and it does even toss in a touch of comedy now and again. Ok and I will even say that there are beautiful women, but that is a given considering what the movie is based off of.
I was surprised (as it seems to have been my past time this weekend) to see Kevin Nash appear in the movie too. The guy seems to be doing a lot more movies these days, which I would venture a guess as to say his wrestling career seems pretty much done and over these days.
Ah well, more from my brain another day, another time for sure. I need to force myself asleep... work is just around the corner and my brain needs all the help it can get. Then again, I don't think there is any amount of preperation that could prepare me for the hell called "work."
Such is the life... damn you video games! Damn you for forcing me to work! And damn you bills and rent and food and all that other adult-like responsibilites! Wow, I kind of feel better!
Yes, yes... I am losing touch with my sanity... common knowledge around these parts lately. Sleep!

Where in Waikiki did you watch from? My son and I watched from a walkway between the Sheraton Waikiki and the Royal Hawaiian Hotel. It was right along the water. Totally awesome! It was crazy busy, though, and after we met up with a friend of mine near the Hale Koa, we made the mistake of going to Ala Moana. I think everyone who watched the show decided to go to Ala Moana afterward. It actually seemed more crowded there than in Waikiki! You planning on seeing the Blue Angels next month?
So far I've only played one stage of Dynasty Warriors: Gundam. Fun game, but I'm still trying to beat Persona3. Plus I just bought that Final Fantasy VII Crisis Core PSP Slim bundle, so I'm playing with that, too. Crisis Core kinda plays like Kingdom Hearts. I'm looking forward to it coming out in English so that I can understand ALL of it, instead of just SOME of it.
I couldn't get into the DOA movie. I watched the very beginning and was like, Nope, forget it...lol. I'm kinda picky when it comes to movies, though. Last movie I saw was 3:10 to Yuma. That was good. I want to watch the 1957 original now.
Well, I'm totally slacking off at work, so I should stop now...haha.
Hale Koa... that's the military hotel right? Well we were pretty much down front, near where they had set up all of the sound stages and stuff. Couldn't believe just how many people we saw running across to get there! Those jets were pretty awesome, what had me in awe was the sound that those things could make!
You went to Ala Moana? My girlfriend and I were considering doing the same, but after seeing all of those people... our plans changed pretty quickly. We walked down past the Hilton and the amount of people just pouring out onto the sidewalk... man, I didn't think that many people would go out to watch.
I think we're almost definitely going to see the Blue Angels next month. Hopefully we can get there ahead of time and maybe find a better place to stand, instead of being in the very back of everyone else...
And then the games. I've been trying to balance playtime between Dot Hack, Blue Dragon and Dynasty Warriors: Gundam. And so far I've been playing a lot more of Dot Hack. It won't help any with Halo 3 coming out at the end of the month either.
I was thinking of getting (like I think of getting a lot of other stuff) a PSP, just to be able to pick up Final Fantasy Tactics: War of the Lions. Looks pretty good to me. Oh and Disgaea: Afternoon of Darkness too.
All of this talk about buying games means I'll be seeing my workplace more often. That news is about as exciting as... as... I can't think of anything witty.
Well it is time for me to try and sleep (again). More then likely, I'll be up and playing games and then I'll die tomorrow at work. (X_X)
