Kupowered: And it Continues.

And it Continues.

So, hey, more storms this week. I think we went, what, a whole week without them? Yaaaay. But no more. After being woken up by one at 6 AM this morning, I was pretty sure that it was not going to be a pleasant week and considering that weather.com expects my area to have a chance of storms from 10 o'clock tonight to...1 AM Wednesday, well, I was pretty right. But, eh, that's how it goes, I guess. And at least with the time I'll have not doing anything else, I'll be able to continue doing what I have been doing; getting material for more posts here.

Seeing as Innocent Life did little to sate my Harvest Moon urge, I've moved on to Rune Factory once more with the overall goal of actually completing it this time. This will be the third time I've started it, as my first attempt was the most successful, leading me to fall out of playing pretty much one or two dungeons before the end. I'd completed a year, married, started a successful farm and had my house fully upgraded, as far as I can tell/remember. And my second time ended in Winter of the first year, meaning I was close, but I hadn't married and wasn't quite fully there with the upgrades. We'll just have to see how this playthrough turns out.

I also started Shadow Hearts: Covenant on PS2 since I've never played it and, well, I've already mentioned the PS2 replacing the PS3 in favor of caution with the weather, so I will stop harping on that. It's a rather nice game so far, really kept the mood from the first, which is essentially a strange mix of creepiness, general fucked up-ness, downer notes, and dark humor. For anyone that hasn't played Shadow Hearts and could go for a rather classic style RPG right about now, I'd recommend it. There is a rather nice Let's Play of it here as well, but I'm of a mind that Shadow Hearts is more of a game that you have to experience before watching/reading an LP of it to get the same amount of enjoyment. Of course, that might just be my love for batshit crazy stories coming out again.

So yeah, this is basically just one of those update posts, and a heads-up that I may have to miss a post some night this week. Of course, I'll be doing whatever I can to make sure I don't, but it may just be out of my hands.

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.
