My last entry wasn’t very informative as to what I’ve actually been up too lately, so I thought some of you may enjoy a little enlightenment:

I have been playing an RPG, for days, maybe weeks; time has no meaning to me anymore. I usually have no preference for RPGs. The turn based combat seems pointless and rubs the wrong way against every gaming fibre in my body. I have played World of Warcraft, to see what all the hype was about, turned it off after 30 minutes and never went back. I have never even found the urge to embark upon the wonder of Final Fantasy, even though it looks truly amazing.

I don’t know what first caught my eye about this game, maybe it was the mention of my all time favourite game character, Dante, or maybe it was the beautiful trailer. I think the real clinch was Ubisoft being the distributor, so I decided to widen my gaming repertoire and give it a bash.

Many, many hours later I have realised that Shin Megami Tensei it truly Lucifer’s Call. It has me in its wicked grasp and I just can’t struggle free. I must fuse more demons, I must find all 11 candelabra, and above all I must find out how the world will be reborn.  Yesterday I spent an hour and a half doing one boss fight and today was even worse. I spent three hours doing one tiny section that isn’t even important to the game. But oh how the time does fly by!

I love this game so much that I have to make myself leave the flat, just so I can still pretend to be a decent part of society. Every morning before I switch on the PS2 I give myself goals such as ‘must buy milk before five o’clock’. This is madness, and it must stop!

I am glad that I’m about to start back at University again. Hopefully some bright and early lectures will snap me back to my senses and then I can get back to seeing daylight, my friends and the inside of my local again. Either that or this game will eat me alive. If I’m not on the forums in the next week send out the search party, I will appreciate it!
