Firstly - I downgraded Yellow Head Joe to an 11, seeing as how I have cleared it with a scant 45 misses, so there's no real point in having that in the 12* tier for warmup purposes or otherwise.

Second, getting started sooner helps me get out of the rut here. So let's.

marine snow, almagest, cutexecute, g59, satellite 020712 from coded arms

Sweet sack ...

I wish cat petting was an actual paid job. I'd be so rich.

arabian rave night, usual days remix, てんてん, biometrics warrior, g2

That wasn't particularly pleasant. Arabian Rave wasn't kind to me and I got out of it at a high C and only peeked out at a B with G2 at the end. I probably stayed above water with Usual Days and Tenten, at least the ...

It's the end of the year and like everyone else who has said something about a videogame, I have to start thinking about picking favorites. Honestly I never saw the appeal, mostly because there just isn't enough time for me to play the games that I think are deserving of such regard. Also if I were to choose right now I'd come up with absolutely nothing. Unlike last year I don't have a handful of titles that I really connected with and felt that they were truly special.

For reference ...

Go time.

雪月花, yaksha, black. by x-crossfade, reunion, extinction and reproduction

And there's one unplayed Lincle song that has crept into here, followed by another one which I at least did manage to get to previously. First, Setsugekka should have went better, but I was thrown by what it was asking for with the first main melody set on the percussion ...

Feeling a bit better today, I believe.

Let's see how that translates to playing here.

Opened Captivate2 rather ...

Had to attend to family matters yesterday, so finally getting a session in today.

I have also attained a new set of songs, so here's hoping none creep in on the warmup here.

10177; 3341 3495 1370 338 1261 Combo 337 B -18

dominion, solid state squad, dances with snow fairies, together, evangelize

Difficult to stay in B range if you can't get more Just Greats than Greats. Felt off kilter in Dominion ...

I should look into repeating yesterday's sequence of events (or at least the timing thereof), it seems to have worked out.

Warmup first.

9770; 3495 2780 1672 416 932 Combo 149 B -96

kung fu empire, hverfa, dimension block, stoic, beginning of sound

Two days ago the course had Stoic and Hverfa in it. I need to play Stoic more often to get acclimated to all the different randoms it can give for me to ...

Hey hey everybody it's Strung Out Thursday.

How many hours of sleep did I get last night? Not more than four, and who knows beyond that! O cruel Life which I live, yes I know.

Warmup.

marine snow, avalon, the ember, 凛として咲く花の如く, extinction and reproduction

Tempted to flush ...

As you all know I'm a quite the fan of Musou games. As you all don't know I'm also a big fan of Fist of the North Star. So when Omega Force decided to take on this property I figured I'd be in for a good time.

...Oops?

Ken's Rage is pretty typical of the Musou genre. You choose from a handful of characters and then face off with hundreds of nameless thugs and their leaders in various scenarios. Some follow the original storyline while others delve into what-ifs and ...

Latest form is done (Schedule J).

Time to get moving on this. Have a 7AM start tomorrow.

stoic, 少年A, fake time, the black knight, hverfa

Shonen A and Fake Time doesn't leave much room for a bad miss count, but I'm still pleased with the relative cleanliness here. Hverfa was really the only chart that gave me a lot of crap that I could only ...

Late start. Waited to see wife to bed first rather than squeeze this in before hand.

2011-12-21T04:02:35:360Z

Fourth song was Calls. Fifth was Organismandala. Too soon. Fuck you.

Next.

○○バスタースパーク, marine snow, going on, dancenow, hypocrite

Not even above 50%. I guess I haven't played Buster Spark yet in any course throughout all of this? That seems abnormal. Random charts of it is hell on earth because of the 4-note hold note ...

Weekend down.

Hands (or even handz) up.

kamaitachi, majesty, 雪月花, murmur twins, phantom ensemble

Psh, thanks for this set. "Oh, you played Kamaitachi yesterday? Guess what!" I know I say it every time, but it's still amazing how a 1500+ note chart still can seem so empty after playing the EX version. Well, whatever, fuck ...

And that's the last Saturday before Christmas done at work.

Good.

Let's not be so distracted and get a few more songs in today, shall we?

Let's hope.

2011-12-17T00:15:09:726Z

First course came up as Bloody Marie (meh), Quark (seems to come up a lot), and then Denjin Chop, which I know was just recent. Three days ago.

Flushed without making a new timestamp and I think I had some good luck with the draw.
