Shifting Over to LiveJournal
There seem to be different ways to cross-link blogs and such, which are great for commercial interests or shallow popularity... but not so much for the type of social links which I enjoy via LJ and YT.
So, feel free to check out the archives and if you leave any messages, I think I'll still get an email... but more recent information will be either on my youtube channel, or more likely, esp. if it is a detailed writeup, on the livejournal blog.

404x1. Fusing Girimehkala - Persona 3 Request - Cross Fusion FTW!
After fusing Black Frost, the request to fuse Girimehkala, which also requires a Cross (4-Way) fusion, opens up... so, I did that, although, it took a bit of effort since I had to first level up and also had to make one of the ingredients (i.e. input personae) via a 3-Way Fusion, and to do that, I first needed to raise enough money to order it from the Compendium.
At this point, I think Black Frost is much more useful, but that's because I hate persona with HP-draining spells, as this one boasts. Perhaps I would have liked it better at a higher level (i.e. if i had the Moon Social Link)....

Madara
This game was released only in Japan, on the Nintendo Family Computer or Famicom, roughly equivalent to the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) in the US. However, it used a special "mapper" and an additional chip not present in the NES, so it took a long time for emulators to be capable of playing it properly.
The translation to English was done by AeonGenesis (AGTP), who I am not affiliated with, but I'll give you a link to their site:
http://agtp.romhack.net/project.php?id=madara - Their Project Page about Madara.
I also did an FAQ for the game, which is still hosted on gamefaqs.com. Read that FAQ for a lot more information about the game. The link is: http://www.gamefaqs.com/console/nes/file/579581/46515 (just to make it absolutely obvious).
Sadly, I misplaced my savefiles in a frenzy of data migration, so I haven't beaten the game (yet?)... it is actually rather tedious, even with cheats, so, I don't know when or if I'll finish it.
If you have any questions about the game other than what I already said in the FAQ, then I probably won't be able to answer, since I haven't played it a long time and have no intention to do so, currently.... I hate to leave things unfinished but I have higher priorities.
Full Romaji name: Mouryou Senki Madara
Also know as "Madara 1", since there's a sequel, Madara 2, on the SFC/SNES (translation of which is still in progress, it seems).
On the subjective side, I love the music for this, and the impossible story is nonetheless amusing. It also has dramatic cut scenes! In an 8-bit game!
...and "saving trees", sorta like Revelations:Persona aka "Persona 1".

Two Victories! Ken Dominates Thunder Hawk and Balrog!
I run thru T.Hawk and then Balrog,
playing as Ken.
A little-know fact is that the names of the warriors were, at first, limited to 8 chars for technical reasons.
Or maybe I just made that up.
Anyhow, that's why it's "T. Hawk" and "M. Bison" instead of the full names.
If anyone is actually reading this, leave a comment 'cause I don't think I've ever gotten a diddly squat of feedback on this blog, but I have on the LJ one... but that's how it usually goes.. LJ is a true community, blogspot, err, I dunno, it seems like a place to just post stuff easily but I wonder whether to continue with it.
