Haven't seen one of these in a while?

I know it hasn't been that long.

There's something very zen about spending three hours cooking a Sunday meal only to have it get gobbled up in under fifteen minutes. That is the nature of Cook's Illustrated's "Best Beef Stew." I want the leftovers tonight but I'm pretty sure I'm not going to be allowed to have them. ;_; Shouldn't the cooks get first dibs?

I'm thinking about trying out Strawberry Cupcakes with Strawberry-Cream Cheese Frosting in the next few days. Nobody but Kristen and I are interested in pink cupcakes. Why should I let that stop me?

I've been playing Persona 2: Innocent Sin for an hour every evening for the past four days. In many ways the two P2s are much more intricate and involved than 3 and 4. I wish Atlus would at least try to make a Persona game in the old style, with real dungeons and demon contacts rather than the big random dungeon/school simulation that calls itself Persona now....I wonder if it would be too costly? =_= Unfortunately, IS is loaded with bugs. The status menus load at a snail's pace, and the game froze twice on me when I was trying to load the save menu. Thankfully, there are no fatal bugs. At least, none I know of.

The story in IS is pretty goofy, but compared to P3 it's freaking War and Peace. I like the atmosphere in P2 much better, too. I wish Soejima would go back to doing more realistic art.

I'm playing old PSX games that are riddled with bugs. I'm rockin' it hard core now! XD

I feel the same way about Persona 2! It must be because both IS and EP share one plot that could not be left in a single game, all the effort and work went into making them whole.

It's not that I didn't enjoy P3 at all, but now that I'm going back to IS and EP I feel a crushing sense of loss. I miss wandering around in all the different shops and wards, talking to my party members after each event...compared to last 2 games, IS and EP feel huge! I wish that Atlus could have made one more Persona game like that before they changed the style of the series forever! :O

Now that Satomi Tadashi has left Atlus, there's not much hope in that!

I hope you're enjoying how bad Katsuya looks in Innocent Sin. I remember that when I played the game years ago, I made sure you were out of the room when I walked into the police station for the first time.

Ha ha ha...I admit, Katsuya looks awful in IS compared to the way he looks in EP. All the new art in EP is better (with the exception of Jun's, his new "normal" pic in EP is really odd), but it hits the hardest with Katsuya. I hope I can play EP again soon!
