Nah, jus tired. And busy with the holiday breaks coming close.  

[Shinsua]

Oh ho? When does your break start?  

[Haruhi000777]

I get a small (actually non-existent) vacation around Thanksgiving and then my vacation starts around the fifteenth of December.  

[Shinsua]

Non-existent? What... like a day?  

[Haruhi000777]

No, it'll be on days when I don't have to work anyway. XP  

[Shinsua]

Oh, I see. xP

Hmm... hmm... so, what are you up to today?  

[Haruhi000777]

Not much, really. You?  

[Shinsua]

Same here... I've felt like crap the past few days, today being a rather dreary one...  

[Haruhi000777]

Sucks. Wish things could be better.

Also, you ever play a game by atlus called Rondo Swords or something? I picked it up today. Online it says it's good but it got low reviews mainly because it was difficult.  

[Shinsua]

Same here... I'm not really sure why I've been as I have been, but I just am... I think I'm having my man-period. I had a craving for cookie dough that I had to satisfy earlier, and now I just feel fat for doing so. T 3 T
Hah. I hate it that anyone would even consider giving a game a low grade because it's "too hard."

Aheh... a-anyway... No, I haven't played it, don't have a DS. Atlus is a good company though. There aren't many "bad" games that I can think of they've brought over.  

[Haruhi000777]

Wiggles: Well, I think it was a bit recent.

But yeah, I think they say that's the only reason, saying that there's more frustration than victory at times or something.  

[Shinsua]

Ah... I suppose it depends on how the difficulty is presented. If it's just unfair, then that's really no fun.  

[Haruhi000777]

Well here's what it says on wiki...

IGN called Rondo "A simple, challenging, entertaining turn-based strategy that dares to be different, and succeeds despite its flaws."[2] 1UP.com criticised and praised the game's difficulty level, stating "When the game's at its best, a hard-fought victory feels like a tremendous accomplishment...and at worst, it feels arbitrary and unfair."[3] Games Radar criticised the presentation, saying "The biggest problem with Rondo of Swords is that it isn't as polished as its peers..."[4] Nintendo Power also criticised the difficulty level, "The triumphs may be sweet, but the aggravations have them outnumbered."[5] Nintendo World Report said of the game "The intense difficulty of the new battle system combined with more traditional RPG traits turns out to be great fun, but tricky."[6] Play praised the battles as the best part of the game, stating "it is here that the true potential of this title shines brightest."[7]

*Squeezes your bunny ears*
Don't listen to reviews. Reviews don't speak from the point of most people. Dx
If you didn't hear it from a source you personally know, one whose interests you understand and vice versa, it's not worth listening to.
At the very least, you should use youtube to look up some gameplay and make an estimate decision for yourself.

B-bleh... anywho, I'm gonna take a shower. Back in a bit.

Well twenty bucks, bought the game used. Guess we'll see. XP
