Event Log: 4/4/14 - Tying Up Loose Ends

These days, it's not enough to just beat the game. Devs are always throwing in post-game content for completionists to mess with. Although I successfully became champion, there were a few odds and ends I had to take care of in Pokemon Y, the most significant of which was the Looker side mission. To cap off an excellent adventure, I had to immortalize myself in the perfect PR video:


I spent an hour making this video. It was time well-spent. Since I borrowed the game, my progress will be forever lost to the bitter magic of overwriting. Though my save will be lost, it shall forever live on in my heart. Such is the life of borrowed time.

With Pokemon out of the way, I decided to progress in Bioshock Infinite. I was shocked by the two weapon limit. I thought imitating Halo went out of style years ago. Considering the flexibility of the combat in the first two, this addition was an unwelcome subtraction. Performance is also atrocious on the PS3. I leave the framerate uncapped since screen tearing doesn't faze me. All the stuttering between checkpoints is maddening though. It's times like these I wish I had a high-spec PC.

To finish off the night, I caught up to the latest chapter in Inari, Konkon, Koi, Iroha. I like it. It's light and breezy even if the main character is a massive crybaby.
