What a Horrible Night to Have a Curse

Nothing really interesting on this end. I have been struck with a terrible illness and I pray that the cause is only allergies from the intense wind and not a virus. I've been playing "Castlevania" lately and I desperately wanted to play today but I didn't want to sit in my basement...in the cold...and the dark...very fitting for a "Castlevania" game but not for my condition. I just bought a used copy of "Lament of Innocence" for ten dollars and it's a lot of fun. Hot whip-on-demon action. It's funny how I play because I know there's a bunch of combos to perform but I'm kind a of button-masher so Leon just ends up flailing. Speaking of Leon...
Leon Belmont 2
Good God, Kojima Ayami is a goddess of an artist. Her androgynous illustrations of the "Castlevania" cast are like the music of Yamane Michiru: they define the series (interesting, both women. Dracula loves his ladies). Anyway, it's a great game. It's dark as hell (both figuratively and literally) and it leaves a great unsettled feeling in the pit of the stomach during and after playing. Highly recommended to fans of "Castlevania" and fun games. I've also been playing "Symphony of the Night," which I've had for a while. There's not much I can say about it that hasn't been said already. It's a classic for a reason, folks. Well, two reasons: it's fun and...
Alucard 2
Come on , now. Alucard is every game gal's fantasy boyfriend. Alucard and papa Dracula are the best vampires ever. They would destroy all of those "Twilight" wannabees. Well, I have nothing left to say, so here's some eye candy of Leon:
