Ok, I haven't played this game for about 2 weeks, since the arcade I play it at is back at home. The game is actually based on a Japanese visual novel game called "Tsukihime", but takes place a few years after the events in that game. The story revolves a young man name Shiki Tohno, who, while walking home from school one day, loses control of his body and kills a girl he sees. The next day, he sees the same girl he killed waiting for him at the same place he had killed her the day before. The girl ends up being a vampire, and then some other cliche game events happen ie: Shiki needs to learn the truth behind his past, fight a head vampire, so on.
At first glance it seems like any other 2-D fast-paced fighter, and it initially reminded me of the Guilty Gear and Street Fighter series'. The difference between this game is the option of being able to counter an oppontent's move by a well-timed hit of an extra button on the arcade panel. Also, instead of a classic bar used to attack with special attacks, in Melty Blood a character must fill their Magic Circuit meter, and then enter "Heat" mode to attack with their strongest special move, called an Arc Drive.
This game offers a huge variety of characters, including some characters in both human and vampire form. It also has a few comic relief characters, such as Neko Arc, who looks like a little creepy cat thing, to Hisui and Kohaku, twins who use an ass-load of weird items to attack.
Overall, I think this a great game. While I don't consider it up there with Guilty Gear or Street Fighter, it is a fun game, easy to get into, but hard to master. I'd be surprised if anyone other than me has actually played this game, since I know a grand total of about 3 people who have even heard of it.

Ok, after playing WoW earlier yesterday, we ended up going to BWL, and beat it pretty easily, like always. Only piece of Netherwind went to a different mage, since I'm still not sure if I'll be leveling my paladin or my mage come BC. Arc/fire specced, with AP and spell power in Arc tree, along with a few nice things for PvPing, then go into fire for Pyro, ignite (pissed they nerfed rolling ignites), and Burning soul for some goddamn form of aggro-reduction. IF I end up playing my mage with BC, I'll get points in crit chance, plus spell dmg in fire, but Im a little mad, since I wont fill out Fire Power.
Other than that, loving my paladin, pissed of a hunter today in ZG since I won the Eye of Hakkar( the dps neck), and the hunter was on his alt, so he started bitching at the guild leader, but since loot priority went out the window a long time ago in ZG, no one else cared.

Well, for everyone who has played this game, you should know what I am talking about here. I've been playing World of Warcraft (or WoW) for a little over a year, so this was just a routine day playing.
The game itself takes place in a ficiton world named Azeroth, where two major factions, the Horde and the Alliance, battle not only one another, but also various other groups of enemies in order to conquer, protect, and in many cases, merely survive. You can choose between a number of races (Human, Dwarf, Gnome, and Night Elf for the Alliance, and Orc, Troll, Tauren, and Undead for the Horde), and a number of different classes or jobs. Once your situated, you begin killing enemies and gaining experience points, which gradually will make your character stronger by leveling up. Since pretty much everyone knows what RPG's are, you can get the basic concepts. Overall, a great game, never really gets old, but pretty addicting.
If anyone cares, I play a 60 Human mage, and a 60 human paladin, both on Sentinels, and RP server. AND btw I rolled there to play with some friends, not too huge on RPing myself. Guild is the farthest along in progression, opened the AQ gates, and about halfway through AQ40.
