So, browsing around on GameSpot (mostly voting on their year end awards), I found that Final Fantasy 8 is coming to PSN. I never actually finished FF8. I was playing it during one of the most hectic times of my life aka early 2005. And I just never went back to it. I finished FF9, got to the end of FF7, and of course, have played through the newer ones, but for some reason... anytime I think of playing Final Fantasy 8, I decide not to. It isn't because I didn't like what I played of it... so, it really must be the memories attached to it. Not that all of those memories are bad, even. It makes me think of Christen too, but... that was such an upsetting time.

Anyways, I'm starting to think... it's coming on 5 years since I left school and all. Maybe, it's time to just start over. Maybe it would be theraputic.

Genius, my favorite Disney Channel movie is on. In fact, it's one of my favorite movies, period. I watched it like a million times... to the point that I'm scared that the tape I recorded it on ages ago is going to die, so I never watch it anymore. Kind of defeating the purpose. 

Since getting this computer, I was really hoping it would be on again sometime so I could record it into a file. But it didn't come on and didn't come on. Finally, it does, but my Media Center hasn't been working with my tv tuner for months. :(

When I saw it was on... I actually started crying. This is so unfair. Why now? *Sighs*



 

A story too cruel - too beautiful - to go untold...

Since I already kind of posted about it on Giant Bomb, I decided to go with this post first.

Once upon a time, Amazon.com put this game on my recommendations list. Reading about it, I was positive it was not my kind of game. Way too violent/scary for someone as sensitive as me. Fortunately-Unfortunately (depending on how you look at it... and I change my mind on a day-to-day basis), something got me hooked enough that I couldn't get it out of my mind. It sort of demented me cruelly. ~_~;

I figured it was one of those things where I couldn't forget about it, because I didn't know what happened. So, in order to free myself, I read the entire game script. And I was done...

For about a year and a half. Somehow, I began to think about the game again, and thought... oh, I was just blowing things out of proportion. It wasn't really all that scary... was it? And I thought maybe I could, at least, try watching it via YouTube.
 
However, in my researching of the game, I found an awesome website dedicated to figuring out the mysteries left behind in the game. And I found something in one of the blog posts that traumatized me so much that I had trouble being alone or at night for MONTHS.

Funny thing is, for me... watching the game (which I did do) is not nearly as scary as the mystery exploring that goes on at that site. There's some blood and creepy imps,*shivers*, yes, but what you actually see in the game is not nearly as bad as what you can see in your mind... if you really take the time to think about.

Anyways, I finally bought the game... and someday I will try to play it, but... it's probably not a good idea. Especially not alone. ~_~; But I do spend lots of time on that site. I've read every post I keep pretty up-to-date with what's being talked about. It really is awesome.

So, there's going to be a new FullMetal Alchemist anime soon. I'm very excited, but after watching this very short video, I realized I'm going to have to wait for the anime to be dubbed before getting to see it. Not only did I watch the whole first series in English dub, but It's just too strange to hear Nana's voice (Romi Paku) as Ed. Haha.

But that's okay. I think the English cast is fabulous. (Hopefully, they'll be sticking to it. - I would assume so.)  And this will give me some time to actually read the manga on which it will be more faithfully based. I have the first volume, I just need to sit down and get to it. (Though I really should read Breaking Dawn first. I must stop putting that off eventually... I just hate when things end. :( )

So that's my little random thought for today. *Wanders off*
 

It's finally E3 time. And after being extremely sick for the past 5 days, I was totally excited for the press conferences.  Now, I've never even touched a Microsoft console in my memory, but being someone who's interested in gaming issues and news across the board, I decided to watch their press conference anyways. And now I have a shocking announcement...

I am no longer buying a PS3.   o.O;

Yes, lazy people who aren't clicking the link. Final Fantasy 13, my only reason thus far for wanting a PS3, is now coming to the Xbox360. My gaming plans have totally been switched around! I hardly know what to do with myself. o.O; Now, logically... if you could could get a system for a lower price... wouldn't you? ^_^ And there are other games I would love to get for the 360. This is mind boggling... but exciting. I'm going to try to get over to GameCrazy this week and have a chat with the workers about 360 stuff. 

So, gaming friends... what do you guys think of this?

By the way, maybe go ahead and recommend me some 360 games? Nothing too violent, though... please. ~_~; I know there's lots of shooters for the 360, but I'm just not interested. I like RPGs... and pretty stuff. 

(PS: Recommend at the link, please. I can keep better track of recs there! Thank you! ^_^ )

PS (Again): Actually... I'm probably going to have to take this back after tomorrow's Sony press conference, aren't I? But oh, well... I want all three of them eventually. It's just... how on earth am I going to get enough money? *Dies* Enjoying lots of media is so expensive... or illegal. ~_~;
