Nearly Identical

Today was eerily similar to last Friday. From a poker perspective, this is a good thing as it means I ran well and won a bunch despite the games being pretty poor and not putting in a lot of hands. Graphs below to show what I'm talking about.

Today:


Last Friday:



Beyond that, just like last Friday the Flames lost a road game in which they just couldn't put the puck in the net. I'm glad Mikael Backlund is back in the lineup, but if the team doesn't string together some wins soon there's going to be a major overhaul of some kind coming and it might not be pretty.

I finished the Persona 2 remake for the PSP which was adequate. I was expecting the story to be a little less weird. You just don't quite know what to think when Hitler is the second to last boss in a game that is set in modern day Japan.

I also gave the original Suikoden a play through (I remember it being longer, but only ended up clocking in a little over 20 hours) and have already moved on to its sequel. While the first game is good it has a very sloppy translation and isn't truly great in any aspect. Suikoden 2 on the other hand has a better (though still not terribly good) localization, but has a truly amazing story and cast of characters paired with very enjoyable gameplay. It also benefits a bunch from the nostalgia factor present for those who have played the first game.
