Galerians: Ash, or In Which There is Much Gushing

[Xel]

Okay. So I ran over to GameStop last weekend to pick up Vagrant Story, which I had previously seen there for 15 bucks. Got it. Yay. So then I inquired as to the existence of Silent Hill (the first. 0ld sk00l!), and they (MIRACULOUSLY, as it's somehting of a rarity 'round these parts) had it. For 12 bucks. Score.

And THEN, they told me that I could get anything in the store for 12 bucks or less FREE. I cried tears of joy that day, my friends. Tears of joy.

It was then that I spied Galerians: Ash. I remembered reading about the first Galerians in Game Informer some time back and thinking "say... this sounds pretty damn interesting!" Not being one to strictly adhere to the rule of not playing sequels first, I decided to go ahead and make off with G:A.

Curious, I decided to start with that in my gaming experience, not wanting the bejeezus scared out of me or getting hopelessly addicted to an RPG before finals rolled around. I played the first hour or two and found myself amused by being forced to play the last stage of the first game, the rampant drug use, CRAZY PSYCHIC POWERSS, and the protagonist, Rion's navel-gazing angst. To the ladies who possess even a modicum of fangirlishness in them, pretty boy + angst = good, good eatin'. Oh, and the story's interesting and stuff too. Dubbing is a bit cheesy sometimes, but I'm not being picky. After a while, though, I started to think this game would take a slightly more macho turn and cease its cruel teasing of the YAOI! center of my brain.

Boy, was I wrong.

For what should I see when I defeat Ash, Rion's nemesis after an epic boss battle less than a third into the game, but a full-on, in-your-face MAN KISS. Cue Xel staring dumbfounded, going "OMGWTFBBQAOL."

Being a despicable whore, I read a spoiler or two and found that it really doesn't get a lot less ghei between those two. I am greatly pleased to hear this, and am looking forward to continuing with this game.

The moral of this story? Take a chance on things you aren't entirely familiar with sometimes. You might be surprised at how FREAKING MUCH they wind up suiting your tastes.

pretty boy + angst = good, good eatin'.

It's funny, I often wondered what the deal is with chiXx0r and their fascination with this combination? I suppose though, it's the same as us guys: half-naked chiXx0r + violent chiXx0r =   & oh gawd please marry me I don't even care if you're not real.....

"OMGWTFBBQAOL."

ROFLMFAO!!

I'm not entirely sure, either. I suppose maybe the notion of a cute, sad boy taps into some sort of twisted maternal instinct to kiss it and make it better. Er.

Experience much, Saucer? :B

Experience much, Saucer? :B

Violent chiXx0r? Unfortunately, no. I mean, how hard is it to wear these heels and walk all over me? I don't think it's asking for too much.....

[Lord God Jinnai]

Saucer... you are one sad, sad, scary man.

...Jinnai, sir, are you absolutely certain that you wouldn't be willing to procreate with me? It thrills me to no end to think of what brilliance might surface in our offspring.

If not, er... well, I'll be over here scrubbing the toilets...

For shame, fair lass! Do think long and hard (no pun intended), and choose wisely thy mate!
