Emerald City Con

Emerald city was pretty cool. There were tons of artist and almost no lines. I got tons of people to add to my sketch book including Xaime Hernandez. I only had to wait behind Nate Powell to talk to Xaime.

portland movie list

starting the list again.

Paranoid Park Before "Milk," Gus Van Sant set out upon another of his small meditations on youth and death and came away with this handsome, attentive and incidentally profound film. The technique is unsurpassed, the acting is sure, and Portland looks absolutely gorgeous.

Wendy and Lucy Another made-in-Portland story about a young person on the edge. But writer Jon Raymond and director Kelly Reichardt have something small and incidental in mind. Michelle Williams' amazing performance strikes deep emotional chords with offhanded poignancy and sureness.

Persona 3

starting playing Persona 3 since Persona 4 is getting such high reviews. don't know that the theme of Persona 4 is, but a high school simulator is not my idea of a good time. Half of the game involves maintaining social relationships in school in order to strengthen the social links of the different Tarot suits corresponding to each character. e.g. participate in the student council more and the Emperor suit increases giving you more experience when creating "Persona" of that suit. + having played Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne already, i found that the combat system (mythology + characters) was basically the same.
I'm about 8 hours into the game (70 hours of game play?) and i still don't know why the characters seemingly shoot themselves in the head to call the Personas.
