I r learn

I tried playing Touhou yesterday, as it is revered as some sort of holy grail among otaku, but just like Fate/Stay Night I really do not see what all the fuss is about. It was never going to get off to a great start seeing as I don't exactly have a brilliant history with vertical shooters, I shouldn't have expected as much as I did from this manic/bullet-hell shooter superstar.
I simply found it boring. That being the beginning and end of it, I found it boring.

I downloaded Brain Challenge on the 360 Arcade yesterday, and after trying the demo I quickly bought the full version. It's basically another Brain Trainer rip off, but as I don't have a DS I'll go for what I can get.
I've been interested in getting a game like this for quite a long time, as I saw a thing about them on TV showing how they do sharpen you up absolutely brilliantly, far more than a simple game. I've been especially focused on improving my mental arithmetic, as in the last three years since I had to use it I've always gone straight to the calculator whenever challenged with any maths (not 'math' you grammatically incorrect bastards), not even bothering to try and figure it out myself. Just like my handwriting, which is a constant embarrassment, I may have been able to touch type at ridiculous speeds for most of my life, but if you give me a piece of paper and a pen I'll scrawl like a 12 year old.
I had a game online today, and one of the guys I played was amazing smart, he was answering absurd calculations faster than I could read them, I found it to be a rather inspirational sight.

I watched the first episode of the suggested Hana Yori Dango today, another J-Drama, but deleted the entire batch torrent after half an hour of the atrocity. It turns out the series is based on a shoujo manga, so as you can imagine it's basically a chick-flick. The main antagonists of the series are these four rich kids that basically run the school, and while it may suck pretty bad the leader of these rich fags looks exactly like Prince, which made me laugh mightily every time I saw him poncing around trying to act cool.
Other than that I've been spending a lot of my time watching stuff, IWGP has been most interesting, along with four backed up episodes of Lost and Jericho to get through, I've had no shortage of things too keep me occupied.
