Nothing exciting happening. Got a mild cold with some fever and coughing too. Funfun. Started a new DS game, Flash Focus. It's basically Brain Age except for your vision. It doesn't involve complex math or shouting out colors, it tests your HEC (hand-eye coordination), momentary vision, peripheral vision, and some other things. After completing the four reccommended activities for the day you get a stamp on your calendar and sometimes a new test for your eyes. To finish of your session, the game has you relax your eyes with some simple exercises such as rollingblinking, rolling your eyes, etc. It also tests for your 'Vision Age' which ranges anywhere from 20 to 80, 20 being the maximum possible score. My first test yielded a vision age of 40! Not too bad but I'm looking forward to training every day as the game tells you to in order to reach the 20.

 

In other news I attempted to play the sequel to Professor Layton, currently only available in Japan, and was forced to call it quits after two measly puzzles as I was presented with a puzzle with lenghty Japanese instructions and I simply couldn't figure out what to do but it was multiple choice and I could have proceeded but decided not to since the best parts about Layton 1 were the story, dialogue, cleverly worded brainteasers, and well done English voice overs. Besides, I was just testing the water as far as audio and visual improvements go. Guess I'll have to wait until this Christmas when the game is released in the states. :(

 

Also: Decided to share this hilarious (imo) youtube video of some Japanese dude dubbed the 'Card Crusher' crushing a card in this womans face in slow motion. Epic.
