Kupowered: Quick Note

Quick Note - Bleh

I really really hate having so many quick notes, but my sleeping got all messed up today, and I got a bit of bad news and it's really just pushed me into "Bleh" territory, so I can't really concentrate enough to write something out. But I can mention what I've been up to today at the very least, presenting, as I always try to do in these daily posts, content.

Snake?! This was a sneaking mission! Snaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaake!

I remembered from the other day that I lacked the content from the MGS DLC in LBP for reasons that I've vowed to stop mentioning, so I decided to go back through it today after waking up at 8:22 AM for absolutely no reason. I forgot just how enjoyable they were, and, honestly, how impressive they are when compared to LBP1 proper. (Which, after LBP2 just seems a lot more frustrating for some reason)

I did remember, however, that I used to think they were hard. Not in the sense of getting through them, but in getting through them with the "Ace", as in, not dying once. In general, Acing a level proves a slight challenge, depending on what it is, but there is usually a challenge if there is meant to be one. However, on this run-through, I found that it was actually no challenge at all. I don't know if my early morning had anything to do with it, or if I've simply come a long way, or maybe I just got lucky, but with no more than a few hours of play, I walked away from the MGS Pack with everything. All five levels aced, played, and 100%'d. And it was satisfying.

Tomorrow? The Pirates of the Caribbean pack, which I've not actually finished completely (in the Ace, 100% sort of way) yet. Hopefully my....whatever it was carries over as well! (Because after that, I'll likely make a clean break back to LBP2. After getting to the end of the Terrible Oni level in LBP, and being killed by his sword after he exploded and it flew right at me, I'm prepared to accept that, yes, I aced everything on LBP1 already, and no, I don't need to do it again, because I want to be sane.)

And yes, I know that I could play them on LBP2, but, well, it just seems right to play on the first, alright? (And this has absolutely nothing at all to do with LBP1 already being in my PS3 and me being too lazy to switch it out. Nope. No sirree.)

For the record - this isn't a quite note. You don't do quick notes - you do big, meaty posts. Every day. It's actually pretty impressive.

I try! And the nice thing about it is that I'm not even forcing myself to do it, I genuinely enjoy sitting down and doing these every day. I guess that's why I've been able to do them every day so far!

What's all this, then?

This is going to be many things, but first and foremost, it is, quite simply and unsurprisingly, a place for me to write. Sometimes about video games, sometimes about movies, and other times, just to write out mini-stories and the like. As an outlet for me, it will likely reflect how I am; at times it will be entertaining, and other times it will be informative. I just hope that every time it's interesting at the very least.

The current goal is a post every other day to settle myself in; eventually, I will seek to post every day, if just to raise an inquiry that I've found I've tripped over most of that day, or to retell an amusing, or perhaps less so, tale from the day. I find that I can be long-winded at times, so perhaps this will be less of a concern than I imagine!

While it would make sense to change this to grow as "Kupowered" does, I hope to keep this just as it is and, sometime down the road, re-read it with a slight chuckle and mumble to myself, "I did it." So take this as a mission statement, if you will, and we will see how it works out!

Handy Post-Types Guide!

A Look Back: In lieu of reviews (which I might do in the future), these posts will be fond recollections of older games from my past, telling you why I believe them to be good and why you might be interested in playing them.
Giant Robot On: I like Giant Robots. Who doesn't? These posts will always be talking about something with Giant Robots in it, be it video games or anime or movies.
Less-Short Story: On occasion, inspiration will hit me and I'll want to write a short story or, as the name implies, expand on a story from my old Ficly. That will be these posts.
LittleBigThings: In these posts, I will be discussing (read: gushing about) things in the LittleBigPlanet series of games, from the game itself, to user-created levels, to my own adventures in Craftworld.
Music!: Fairly self-Explanatory. In these posts, I will talk (gush) about music I like, and possibly music that I don't care for.
Popcorn On: These posts will revolve around movies that I've seen that are just great in one way or another. The aim is to give you enough to interest you into seeing it without giving too much so that you feel you know what's going to happen.
Quick Note: These will usually be, as can be expected, short posts to keep in touch with the blog and it's readers if I'm not prepared for a full post or if I'm updating on a past post.
Ragequit: Completely opposite of A Look Back, these posts will be about the few games I've had to quit playing because they just weren't fun. (Or that I might have finished, but still hated.)

There will likely be more types of posts added in the future that will be explained here.
