Bonnie Pink - Ring a Bell

So sometime yesterday, after talking with my friend, he convinced me to screw whatever new system Microsoft is putting out and get the cheaper one while it's still available.
So now I own what I comically/ epically call "The System of Choice," AKA an Xbox 360. First game is Eternal Sonata, which is starting to make me think Chopin was on some serious drugs before he died. And I want some.
Now all I need is "The Game of Choice," AKA Tales of Vesperia. I'll probably be playing the demo constantly until it comes out, where I can play as Miss Teleprot and the Stoned Samurai. As for the demo, I beat the boss first try, unlike some of the other people. Barely, though. Need to get used to the controls.

I'm thinking if I could be voiced by any anime voice actor, it'd be Sam Regal. Seriously, I want the Fate/Stay Night package so I can hear him play Shirou, who after looking at some of the CGs from the game, is incredibly bad ass. Then after talking to a friend, he is apparently so in the original novel. I've recently been having his face on rotation in my MSN icon, usually saved with funny quips between his last and first name, like:

Gonna punch you in the face (End of Fate Arc.)
My circuits are on so run (Sometime in Unlimited Blade Works.)
I have a big sword (Summoning Berserker's sword in Heaven's Feel. Yes, BERSERKER'S sword, which is the same size as Shirou himself.)
Gonna rip your guts out (Showdown with someone who's a spoiler, possibly at the end of Heaven's Feel.)

EDIT: MOTHER OF GOD, DEL REY IS AWESOME.
Randomly looking on AoD, I found a thread pertaining to their Faust magazine, with the heading: TYPE-MOON: The Garden of Sinners. Considering it nothing more than a rumor, I looked.
A full description on RightStuf about the magazine, having the full title and synopsis, AND an introduction that the first two novels will be coming out from someone with an advanced copy of the magazine, does not equal rumor to me.
If this is real, God damn that's awesome beyond reason.

PROJECT CANNIBAL

Recently, on a Tales forum I go to, someone decided to actually make Lloyd Irving's dream of a Tales dating sim. After it started getting off the ground, I joined up as a writer, making ideas and probably writing the text people would see in the game. Mostly at the moment, we're making one for the girls first, with a female protagonist and persuable males. Afterward, we plan to make the opposite, with a male protagonist and persuable females.
And if you're wondering why it's like that, I'm the only male in the production group. Do the math.

Expect some Nice Boat from us crazies.

We were able to release information pertaining to who are the persuable guys in the first game. Those are:

Yuri Lowell from Tales of Vesperia
Emil Castagnier from Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World (Ratatosk)
Saleh from Tales of Rebirth
Jade Curtiss from Tales of the Abyss
Zelos Wilder from Tales of Symphonia
Moses Sandor from Tales of Legendia

Mostly, I'm working on Emil.

We were almost able to use our own self-created music. Sadly, my computer lacks the ability some of the free programs use to play sound. Somehow. I have no idea. So we're sticking to basics and just using music from within the series.
And I was looking forward to making all the music, too.
