Holiday plans

Now that my exams are over, it's pretty obvious that I'm having a semester break before the next semester commences. This holiday is just a month long, but I think I'll still be able to do some stuff with it, so here's the list of things I'm gonna spend my time enjoying during the semester break.

1. Play Video Games (Obviously)
I have my 3DS, and with Project X Zone and Animal Crossing on the way, I'll be able to spend a lot of time playing games at home (or at least spend a ton of time playing just these two games). I also have Fire Emblem save files that I occasionally check on for the Barrack conversations, and a Hard-Classic file that 
I've yet to complete. I also have Resident Evil: Revelations uncompleted, and Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater 3D where I'm trying to get the stealth camo by shooting all 64 Yoshis.

2. Watch EVO 2013
I'm a huge fan of fighting games (the first video game I've ever played as far as I remembered is Virtua Fighter 2, which is a fighting game). EVO is gonna be awesome this year, with games like Super Street Fighter IV Arcade Edition, Injustice: Gods Among Us and Ultimate Marvel Vs Capcom 3 as some of the main games for this year. 

The biggest shocker (and an awesome one too) for this EVO is that there's also gonna be Super Smash Bros. Melee for their main games (as voted by the internet), which is pretty amazing since it's a 10 year old game with a huge following (like MvC 2), and its widely debated on whether it's a fighting game or not seeing how unconventional it is to a normal fighting game. Nonetheless, Melee is quite technical and is proven to be able to generate some pretty clutch and exciting moments, so I definitely look forward to that.

I find it funny how Tekken Tag Tournament 2, a game released last year, isn't getting enough entrants to reward it as a main game this year. I mean I could understand if Mortal Kombat wasn't on the list since it's been out for a long time, and Persona 4 Arena is sort of a niche fighting game itself. I thought that Tekken would at least have a huge and strong community or something. Maybe I was wrong.

I'll be watching it via livesteam, and due to the time difference, I may or may not watch everything that's happening (cuz I'll have to be a night owl for the whole weekend if I want to do so). My biggest hopes for EVO is to see either Daigo Umehara (the Legendary Street Fighter Champion), Xian (the South East Asian hopeful), or Gamerbee (the Taiwanese hero) take the Super Street Fighter IV crown. Also, hoping to see some new tech being discovered during UMVC3 for some awesome moments.

3. Buy more games.
Mostly because I'll have some spare time and can go around ordering games to arrive at my doorstep. Trying not to overspend though. 

4. Catch up on tv shows.
I have to admit. The past semester was a pretty hectic one for me. And I hardly watched tv even though there were some shows I really wanted to watch. So I guess now would be a good time to catch up on them.

I guess that's quite enough to keep me busy for a month. And then the next semester commences and the studying continues.
