I think I've put the header often enough.

Back from an unexplained six hour power outage. No storm, no wind, no warning, and no juice from when I got home from work until 11PM. Awesome.

dominion, extinction and reproduction, calls, addiction, 闘気に満ちた草原

Surprised I couldn't keep an A out of dominion. 65% I think it was. All bets are off after Ex&Rep. Addiction wore me out. Touki isn't that bad of a song, really. 12 minute course. Woof.

hype the core, 華蝶風雪, solid state squad, the deep striker, cherry blossom shower

Somehow - and it doesn't show in results, but, somehow - I feel like I do better with Hype the Core. I feel like I'm getting more of the song down, and it's pretty evident if you do because there's silence if you fuck it up. Out of it struggling to keep above 50% but I think I did. Kachou brought it back fairly well, and I had a good roll for the ending but just couldn't get it down. Don't know why. I hit jacks better with Deep Striker. Cherry Blossom still is mash city. Lowest BPM song here was SSS at 155 - high toned course.

lifework, Nice magicgirls vs scary Walpurgis, sense 2007, 1st samurai, shock waltz

I think, based on my initial play, it's safe to assume that full half of my miss notes come from that magicgirls song alone. Lifework has some weird bullshit towards the end but isn't that bad. Sense 07 and 1st Samurai really aren't that bad either - in particular, I was getting decent combos on 1st Sam. Shock Waltz didn't even go that badly for me. But, man, that magicgirls song; particularly in the end where random will make you play chords on the other fingers while a hold note is between them? Fuck you pally.

First came era nostalmix, will be downgraded now. Sorry, buddy, but I can't justify it anymore. Then Quark. Then Extinction and Reproduction again. I am not doing that bullshit twice in a row, fundamentally speaking.

12:48 AM 10/7/2011

First is Addiction. It is at least four minutes long. Once in a night is enough. Next.

12:50 AM 10/7/2011

First is 旧地獄街道を行く 反逆のパルスィ (yawn, but out with an A this time, yay). Then pluto. Then bad maniacs (down to 59%, ehhh). Then.... the fucking song - ほおづきみたいに紅い魂. Fuck you. Honestly, I'm downgrading it. It's just constant jacks. What will that teach me. I can use "converge" modifier on any song to get the same thing. Fuck it. I have at least 100+ other 12s and a handful above 12. In theory. Pick something else, game.

colorful cookie, y&co is dead or alive, concertino in blue, memoria, bitterblossom dp-3

Lewl. Come out of color cookie thinking "man, I must have gotten the luckiest random ever!". Yeah, after that last course I opened up my 12* folder just to see if it would give me a count total (it didn't), and in scrolling through I fixed some other things from BOF11 and I see a song with some J title I've never seen before. Select it, the game loads the song, and it crashes. Every time. Forgot to reset Random key modifier after that. Woops. Oh well. The first three IIDX songs went rather well with that lack of modifier, not surprisingly enough. Then the last two songs - eww. Memoria is a clusterfuck at the end without random. Bitterblossom still sucks total ass but at least those retarded BPM pause chords aren't so bad when they're on consistent keys.

What a fun day this has been.
