I bought Dragonball Xenoverse for PS4 digitally. It's pretty good, though not as good as I remember Budokai Tenkaichi 3 being. I enjoy the character creator though I hope they'll add more customization options later on and I'm a sucker for "what if" scenarios which the story revolves around. I've played up to Buu saga and so far the what if scenarios haven't gone as far as I would like.

Also did some shopping for Vita. Bought all of the Final Fantasy titles from 1-9 and bought game called Oreshika. It's an RPG where you and your siblings get killed as sacrifice to Gods but you get revived and start seeking for revenge. You are cursed so you and your offspring (who curse prevents from having with anyone but other cursed or Gods themselves) will only have short lifespan of 2 years, so throughout the game you'll end up playing through many many generations. Banging Gods sounds pretty good to me on it's own, but what I really like about this game is the art style. Also played some more of Danganronpa 2. The second murder just happened.

I got February's "Play" Loot Crate earlier this month. My favorite thing in the box by far are the Rock, Paper, Scissors dice. The Pac-Man poster is pretty neat too. I was hoping for a fast Hexbug that Roki could chace around, but instead I got a slow Larva model that's not so fun. "Ready Player One" might be good read and it's not awfully thick. Amazon has suggested it for me few times. DIY Munny is a fun idea, but haven't been on creative mood so it's just sitting in it's box within the loot crate box. A lot of people were dissatisfied with the loot crate and it's not my favorite either. People seem to be more excited about March Loot Crate that's theme is "Covert". It will come with a T-Shirt that Loot Crate at least seems to be excited about, so looking forward to it. I hope there's some Archer item in it.

I got Legend of Korra season 2 and 3 artbooks which are gorgeous and really makes me want to rewatch the series. Also bought the first volume of Ms. Marvel in physical form. I won't be collecting the series since I'm reading it digitally, but I like to own at least first volume / album / etc. on series that I enjoy. Otherwise in the reading department, there hasn't been that much news.

Most importantly I've caught up Space Brothers, so now I'm waiting next chapter with everyone else. Also picked up first two issues of Spider-Gwen that's an alternative universe story of what if Gwen Stacy got super powers instead of Peter Parker. I like the idea and Gwen's costume. Series has a lot of potential.

I've been watching some stuff though. Been keeping up with Parasyte. Sucks that it ended, the wednesdays are now back to being the worst day of the week. Recently picked up on-going series Tokyo Ghoul which is also monsters looking like people eating humans. Instead of body snatchers, this time it's ghouls. Main character ends up becoming half-Ghoul after being surgically implanted with some ghoul organs after an accident. He tries to live a normal-esque life with help of peaceful bunch of ghouls running a coffee shop, but every now and then s**t hits the fan forcing him to fight for his own and his friends lives with increasing activity of government agency tasked to kill ghouls and ghouls having some crazies of their own.

I also started watching Steven Universe. I had seen a lot of fanart and screen captures on tumblr before, but didn't pay much attention to it until my friend posted "Stronger Than You" song from season 1 finale on her profile. I got hooked on it so figured I'd give episode 1 a try. Now I've caught up to the latest episode. I really enjoy the show. Garnet is my favorite character by far.

Been wanting to get one of these Moogle plushies for a long time, but Square Enix merchandise store has been running out of them quite often. It's smaller than I expected, but works fine for me since I just put it on my shelf anyway.
X
I've been holding back on ordering any Big Boss figurines since I wanted to get Solid Snake first since his games are the Metal Gear Solids I've played and loved. But since I was making an order for Square Enix, I figured I'd get Venom Snake since it's still in stock. Might be harder to come by when the game comes out.
X
I also ended up ordering Asuka Shikinami Langley figuine from Evangelion 3.0: You Can (Not) Redo.
I love her design in the reboot films. <3

The big purchase of the month is a Sony DSC-RX100 compact camera. It's few years old model, but it was praised quite a bit and being compared to DSLR's in quality so it's a pretty good camera. Just with automatic modes you can get nice pictures, but for the positives to come out I would really need to learn to use the manual mode.

Went to a store to buy a tripod for my camera. They've had handful of 3DS games on sale for a while now and they had halved the prices again, so decided to pick up some Resident Evil titles.I've heard that Mercenaries and Revelations are good games and work great on the new 3DS. They were only 4 euros, so figured that now'd be the time to get them. Also picked up Tekken 3D Prime Edition for same price. And Super Street Fighter IV: 3D Edition.

We had an almost perfect solar eclipse today (March 20th). This obviously isn't from the time the sun was most covered, but I found this phase the nicest looking. Took a few pictures of it with the new camera, but it's not that great for distant objects. But overall I'm happy with the camera. I'll just really need to figure out how to get better pictures with manual settings.
XGot the collector's edition of Final Fantasy Type-0 HD. My first collector's edition on Playstation 4. I don't usually feel Amano's artwork, but I really like the art on the box and steelbook. I also like that it comes with a manga and the artbook is pretty good though in traditional FF fashion it's pretty slim with only 80 pages. The Composer Selection soundtrack is 15 tracks, but the selections are actually really good. It keeps being disappointing not getting full soundtracks, but unlike with XIII CE there's not even composer comment on why they selected that specific track in this one. Also really like the summon cards, I need to figure out to display them.

Also got Bloodborne. Yep. Only a regular edition. I kind of forgot this game was a thing that was coming.
=== UPDATE: April 11th ===
Got the latest Loot Crate. It was alright, but probably one of the weaker ones I've got. Was disappointed that it didn't have anything Archer related. Forgot the t-shirt from the picture, but it had a white James Bond shirt.
Also got Anime Limited's second box set of Kill la Kill. Third box set will come out in May and then I finally have the full series on blu-ray. I've been quite happy with Anime Limited's anime blu-ray releases and this isn't an exception. Artbook is pretty nice, but with them boasting with exclusive artbook, I was hoping bit more.
=== UPDATE: April 14th ===
Also got Mortal Kombat X: Kollector's Edition. I'm horrible at it.
Either the gameplay is very different from MK 9 or fighting games are not like riding a bicycle.
I like the back and front of the steelbook, but it's one of those that has an ugly hinge on spine without even games title, meaning it looks awful next to other game cases. The comic is also disappointing. It's 12 friggin' pages, that's not even a proper comic issue. Considering that they've already released 144 page Volume 1 that's like 10 bucks, I think they could've done better with 100 euro Collector's Edition. Or at very least give it an exclusive "Collector's" cover variant...
I wonder who Ed Boon's favorite ninja is. We might never know.
