I'm sitting here twiddling my thumbs and worrying, for like the thirtieth day in a row, about what my next livejournal post is going to be about. "I have so much to talk about!" I think. "But I haven't updated in forever and that's always so awkward because then I feel like I have to be epic and cover everything, and what if I leave something out? Then I'll feel like I was rude to the thing I left out! And what if I don't leave anything out but the post is like eighty thousand words long, I mean, nobody's going to read that. And it's not like I'm going to spam people with eighty thousand-word posts. Or a thousand eighty-word posts. Or, wait, what are some other factor pairs of eighty thousand? Let me get a pen."

Luckily, as has happened eventually every time I go for awhile without posting, something comes along to make me decide that I can wait no longer. In this case: the really-real-for-serious yes-this-is-actually-happening announcement of an Ace Attorney/Professor Layton crossover game. Well, having two people contact me independently to make sure I knew about it was what made me decide to post, if you want to get technical. But still.

Okay, so, let's not kid ourselves here. I'm going to buy this. Probably on the day of release if I don't preorder it. If I can't afford a 3DS before it comes out, I'll buy it anyway and wait to play it until I can.

Not sure if want.

Maybe I just...don't know what to think? I dunno, I feel like I should be going to bars and buying everyone a round of drinks in celebration, but...not sure. It feels kinda exploitative? Okay, rephrase. I know it's exploitative. And exploitative doesn't necessarily mean evil, and it certainly doesn't necessarily mean bad, especially if Shu Takumi is actually writing it, but but but the styles! Gameplay, plot, tone, art! They're so different! What if, what if they don't actually combine well? What if they make no sense? What if...it's just not a very good game?

I guess I'll find out when I play it. Which I will. Sooner or later. Probably sooner.

I do expect the music to be amazing, though.

I think I might be losing my mind.
