I've no idea what to say abt the last ep except it doesn't feel like the show has ended. This particular Key adaptation feels rushed and incomplete. "Anticlimatic" would be the word to describe this. Sigh... All that unrealised tear-jerking potential.
Kyou & Ryou's story got screwed, Tomoyo's arc got screwed... Sigh... The only characters who got proper arcs were Fuuko and Kotomi. Fuuko! Of all people!
Sigh... The tear-jerkiness probably peaked in ep9 at the end of Fuuko's story. Kotomi's arc was rather bah, probably cos i screwed it for myself by listening to the drama cd which spoiled the teddy bear suitcase at the end.
Tomoyo's "arc" was a footnote. Sigh... All i can remember of Kyou's story is the PE storeroom and her Haruhi impersonation during the basketball match, but then again the match was part of Nagisa's story wasn't it?
Sigh... i feel cheated.
But looking on the bright side, i did get loads of Kyou-service so...
YAY!!!!
おめでとう！
おめでとう！
おめでとう！
おめでとう！
*Clap* *Clap* *Clap* *Clap* *Clap*
Sigh... How long it has been since that other anticlimatic ending...
By the way, i'm changing wallpapers from this...
To this.
Martial Kingdom 2 (天下霸图 贰). It's a Taiwanese game. Got it for RM7. Tujuh ringgit. Of course it's the not so original version. I've been hunting for it in local stores for months, but it appears no one is carrying it. Managed to find MK 1 in the most challenging local computer store though. Bought that one for 19 bucks. (Forgot my membership discount card or it would have been 16 bucks.)
Gameplay wise this game is very similar to Dungeon Keeper and Theme Hospital, only with an Wuxia (武侠) setting and minus the wacky humour. Basically you manage a pugilistic sect in Ming Dynasty China and beat the stuffing out of other sects.
Most of the game consists of watching your disciples scurrying about performing menial tasks like woodcutting or growing vegetables. You can't slap them or strap them to the torture table though, which is a pity.
Kind of fun for a simulation game, but the gameplay can be a bit slow, especially the turn based battles in MK1. On average each battle takes me about an hour to play through. Imagine the boredom when the enemy has 5000+ hitpoints but you're dealing only 100-odd damage each turn even with 10 characters gangbanging him. I haven't played MK2, but i sure hope they did something about this.
So that'll be my wallpaper until someone decides to translate Muvluv. Or until someone decides to animate Nagisa and Ushio's glorius death. Oops, spoiler. =p
Btw again, i cursed myself when i saw the RM7 version of Blue Blaster. Oh well, at least i got the nice box and the instruction manual full of typos.

Haven't watched Clannad 22 yet... but it has been a pleasant journey so far... I guess Clannad is not about tear-jerkingness?
Kotomi's arc was good only for showing Kotomi in max moe mode. The story was indeed quite... of weak effect.
NEED MORE KYOU. And after Tomoyo After, needs a Kyou FINALE.
The character in the MK2 wallpaper looks... weird... Somewhere, somehow, he/she looks funny.
You have Challenger membership??!!?? Wah...
Whacking a 5k hp monster for 100 damage each turn with 10 ppl... is like counting sheep. ZZZ-fest.
I can't believe the instruction manual has typos. That is soooo crazy. They got some illiterates to do the typing?
Clannad is not about tear jerkiness? Which Key game wasn't about tear jerkiness? Tear jerkiness is their forte, dude.
You do realise that a Kyou finale is going to delay Haruhi and Tessa by maybe another 3 years or so...=)
That MK2 character is obviously a cute girl. Why the hell would i put a guy on my desktop? She looks funny probably cos of the "rough sketch" look the artist was going for. She looks unfinished, especially the eyes.
Actually i've been trying to take down level 40 imperial guards with level 5 characters, which was why it took so long. The game designers probably didn't think anyone was crazy enough to pull that stunt off.
The typos caused me to waste a whole weekend trying to get Maki's route when she can only be unlocked after getting Elsa and Ashley's endings. The manual specifically said otherwise. Maybe they outsourced the job to Odex? =p
Dunno. Read that from AnimeSuki forums.
Aaargh don't remind me of the lengthy drought of Haruhi and Tessa... But a nice nice Kyou Finale can help stave of some time before they embark on the epic journey of making Haruhi and Teletha "Tessa" Testarossa.
No wonder you had so much fun trying to unlock Maki. Psycho Ball!
