Song of the moment: May'n and Megumi Nakajima - Triangular

I guess I was supposed to blog about AFA'08. However, as the quality pictures I took using X's camera has yet to be sent to me, I'll blog/review/comment/whatever-you-like-to-call-it about the two latest games I bought recently.

Left 4 Dead

Packaging - Quite a unique packaging (folder/envelope thingy). I think E Club Malaysia did really well here, at least in terms of creativity. While it was quite practical and interesting looking, its kind of hard to stuff into a normal plastic bag.

Contents - Free mousepad and poster. Not fantastic looking but it was nice for a freebie. And of course, the game and CD key.

Gameplay so far - About the same as the demo I played two weeks back. Essentially a zombie/survival FPS. However, now with the multiplayer and single player all fully unlocked(?), it kind of makes the single player mode seem superfluous.

Confirmation

Song of the moment: Sheryl Nome - Diamond Crevasse

wasurenai yo, anata no nukumori mo,
sono yasashisa mo, subete tsutsunde kureta ryote mo

It’s long long good-bye…

sayonara, sayonara, itoshii hito
anata ga, ita kara, aruite koreta
hitori nanka ja nakatta yo ne?
ima, kotaeba hoshii

(I won't forget your warmth
Your kindness, and your hands that surrounded everything

It's long long good-bye...

Goodbye, goodbye, beloved one
If you were with me, I would've been able to walk here
I wasn't alone, right?
Now, I want the answer)
