Long story short went from 900 points (south 2) to 1st place and then Shini steals my victory on the last round.

Lately it seems like the VOCALOID songs on nicovideo is focusing on interesting lyrics and videos, less so on the music (or at least, not the music to my tastes). At least this one, I think the chorus sounds pretty nice to me. I'm sure I'd enjoy the song a lot more if I could understand the lyrics though... :V

Hyperdimension Neptunia mkII (Unfinished)
I keep forgetting to write up this post, but now that I have to study my database notes, SUDDENLY I REMEMBERED. WOW, AMAZING.
>.> I need to find ways to stop giving into distractions...
Anyway, game play so far has been surprisingly good. Or rather, I believe that they somehow designed a really crappy gameplay game for the first Neptunia only to make the second one actually reasonably interesting, therefore giving the player a sense of "WOW THEY MADE THIS GAME SO MUCH BETTER IT MUST BE A MASTERPIECE NOW".
Honestly it probably isn't, a lot of things they've used has probably been done in other games before. However, given the rather crude gameplay in the first game, those who played the first which then moved onto the second would probably think the game is a revelation. At least the game appears to require more skill than "mash triangle until the battle is over" for about 95% of the battles.
I still haven't played far enough into the game to see if there is any trolling like they did with the first game. Of course, since I played the first game I suppose I can expect there to be something similar so it's not as much of a troll anymore (at least the shares thing is MUCH more obvious, so I'm pretty sure I'm going to have to deal with it later on in the game).
One of the good things in this game is that you get new members to your party sooner, and YOU DON'T NEED TO BUY DLC TO ADD THEM TO YOUR PARTY. These are the non-CPU characters (unfortunately), but nevertheless it's still good to see that we actually can have variety in our game, and not like the first game where you can accidentally BEAT THE ENTIRE GAME WITH THE SAME THREE CHARACTERS IN YOUR ENTIRE PARTY WITHOUT GAINING ANY MORE MEMBERS, ever since the start of the game, never once using the character switchoff option. (sigh, trolled)
Well of course, game play and everything else aside there are the characters. I mean seriously why else would we be buying both the first or the second version of the game? Glad to see Nepgear being much more moe than Neptune (I didn't like Neptune's human form that much, though her CPU form is pretty cool albeit with a 100% personality change). Nepgear is a great main character, just like Totori. It's one of those games where you can pick it up just because you like the main character so much so you know you'll enjoy the game despite what kind of gameplay it has. Kind of like Serah in FFXIII-2! :V
I just hope the game will be somewhat long. I'm guessing I'm already halfway through the game, maybe more (even though I only just finished "chapter 2"). But if the game turns out to have a lot more content and story ahead for me, I will be pleasantly surprised and amused.

春に一番近い街
A song with a really good accompaniment. Very very nice song, probably going to keep this song on my playlist for a while. The video is pretty cool too, simple, yet gets the point across nicely.
In other news, mkII is, so far, pleasantly satisfying. More details about it to come later.
Title has something to do with Spring and roads and... ok screw it, google translate! "Nearest town in spring"

MORE FFXIII-2?!?
So, in the game, you can unlock certain skills by collecting their trophy mechanism known as "fragments" (basically a bunch of side quests, with some fragments being part of the main story too... some even with the alternate endings they have, so MOST of the time its not a grind... except for these last two I need left, goddammit).
One of the fragment skills is called "Eyes of the Goddess." WHAT DOES THIS FANCY SKILL DO?
...It lets you move the camera around when you're in a cutscene.
...
CLEARLY IS THE BEST SKILL EVER. GOES TOTALLY WELL WITH THE BIKINI OUTFIT DLC I BOUGHT FOR SERAH.
By the way its somewhat amusing seeing Serah run around in a skimpy outfit while no one seems to care or take notice... Only in games, will you be able to see girl in a swimsuit running around fighting in a snowy environment... not only that, but provoking (well, I guess in that outfit she would be provoking) and defending against huge monsters with... a moogle and barely any clothes on.
JAPANESE LOGIC, AMIRITE? BIKINI ARMOR GO. SwimsuitGuard kind of happened accidentally due to me figuring out the best strategy to beat this one monster. One of my buffing pets WOULDN'T BUFF SERAH ANY ATTACK UP SKILLS SERIOUSLY WTF WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE STUPID PURPLE CHOCOBO, therefore, gave sentinel position to Serah.
Do not try this at home, kids.
