Professor Layton is not amused!

So. Henry Hatsworth.

Saw it for a reasonable price and grabbed it. I can't help but think of him as a second-rate Layton. And Cole...god, his character design makes me sad in my heart. He's Luke in a different color, right down to the hat. And also not quite as adorably bratty.

But the game itself is proving to be surprisingly addictive! It's a very different style of gameplay in and of itself, and it's much more silly than Layton was. Layton actually had a knack for staying juuuuuuust on this side of plausibility, in spite of the fact that it wasn't really. This game is just ridiculous. But it's fun so far!

Am now entertaining plunnies of Hatsworth and Layton having a cup of tea and discussing stereotypically British things while Cole and Luke sit there, stare at each other, and compliment one another on excellent taste in haberdashery. This is a crossover just screaming to be written, and I think I will do it after I finish the game.


I think we're in for a storm tonight. There's a ton of bad weather around our area. The majority of it is going to miss my city (as it usually tends to), but we should be in for high-gusting winds and a thunderstorm of some degree. It's already trying to rain, as I discovered when I went outside to help Dad move the patio furniture again the wall of the house. I got a teensy bit damp for my troubles.

The breeze feels nice, though! *has bedroom window open*

...why do I have a Soul Eater plunnie already? *headdesks* Anyway, going to give the manga on that another go and see where I end up. I liked what I've already read/seen of the series. I think it might be like D.Gray-Man: I need to sit down and just plow through it.

And I owe lwyn fic. Must write that soon~ ♥ Okay, dinnertime!

I admit, I can't stand the character-art for Hatsworth (Cole in particular incites a horrible rage in me) but the gameplay is awesome.
And the boss battles are hilarious. :')

The characters are...really sort of obnoxious ^^;; Once I got used to the gameplay, it proved surprisingly fun. And...yeah, I'm one boss battle in, and it was silly *laugh*

I don't get what's so good about Professor Layton & knockoff. I tried one of Jeva's games once and was bored. XD

Anywho, I... don't really see the similarity between Soul Eater and D Gray man. XD;

Layton won me over by being a total dork, and because the very loose story was an effective way of linking the puzzles together. Hatsworth has not won me over because I don't like him that much, but the game play is innovative enough to keep me going to see what happens ^^;;

I meant that I need to approach it the same way *laugh* DGM required me to just plunk down and read at the speed of light to make it through, or else I'd wander away and be distracted by shiny things. Soul Eater looks like it will require the same treatment.

Ah. I need more excitement/the fantastical to get my attention I guess. XD s'cool.

Ooooh. Yeah.. I've barely scratched the surface of Detective Conan, only on chapter 33, but I quit because I got sort of bored by guessing the criminals. l-lol.

To be fair, I rarely read the manga of any series, unless the manga (like Otomen) catches my attention right off the bat. I'm mostly an anime person. There's just something more exciting about watching the action and hearing the voices/music.
