FF ramblings

I happened to check Rpgamer.com a few minutes ago and noticed that FFIII:DS comes out today (I haven't really been keeping track...). I'm probably just being too over-emotional, but this day feels rather historic in the RPG world - the last Final Fantasy that wasn't released in the US is finally here. I checked, and it's been approximately 16.5 years since FFIII was released in Japan - well, better late than never, I guess. XD I mean sure, I played it years ago on a translated ROM and I won't be buying this version anytime soon (lack of a DS... and lack of time to play. woe.), but it's still cool to think that it's here. It's sort of a pity that the original version of the game will never make it here, most likely (how hard would it have been to include the orignal version in the new game, really...?), but the new version looks pretty spiffy. Hopefully I'll get to play it someday.

3 FF games in the past 2 weeks, 2 of which are new to the US (FFXII and FFIII:DS) and one of which only ever made it here in a mangled fashion (FFV Advance) - makes me miss the days when I could play all the time... I haven't really been into gaming as much the last few years, largely because of a. lack of time during school, b. other interests take up my free time, and c. i'm lazy., but I still get excited hearing about games and still want to play when I get the chance. I'm way behind on all the games I'm playing, but I still plan to ask for either FFXII or Disgaea 2 for Christmas (leaning towards the latter - FFXII will be easy enough to find for years to come, and it'll get cheap fairly quickly, whereas Disgaea 2 will start disappearing soon...). I am sorely tempted by FFXII, though - it's been getting fantastic reviews, and hell, it's FFXII! We've been waiting for this game for years, and it's finally here... and I really can't justify the time or money to get it. Part of me, too, is still a bit uncertain about it - but most of the reviews have said that the game is nothing like (and much better than) anything we've seen of it to this point, including the demo. I plan to give it a chance eventually, but can't do it yet.

And... I'm procrastinating. Back to my Farscape paper... it's due tomorrow at 9, so I need to get moving. Up to 5 pages, need about 12 - and I'm still blathering on about the context, haven't even gotten to analysing the series itself! Ehehehe. baaack to work.

You doing anything tomorrow? Want to go see Tropic Thunder? It's on at P&T at 12:30 and 3:40. Last day I'm going to be down here before I leave, pretty much... let me know if you're interested.

Hey.

Poor Alex. *sigh* I'm still secretely holding out hope that they're not really dead, since neither we nor he saw the bodies. ^^

Enjoying this season more than last overall, so far. It's reasonably entertaining and fast-moving; reminds me of s2.

Yeah, I def want to see it. No idea WHEN though... We're prob coming down Saturday morning cuz the movies are renting our driveway down here Friday night (...yeah, I dunno. ^^;). Sat early afternoon maaaybe, depending on how busy I am getting ready. Or else, when I get back.

Thanks. :) I'm mostly packed up now... though will have to unpack everything again tomorrow so I can do laundry. ^^ Needed to make sure it'd all fit, though. Now comes the constant panic of "do I have my passport?" "do I have my credit card?" "do I have my tickets??" "passport???" "OMG I left the oven on!!" LOL. All will be better once on the plane - gonna watch Iron Man, which Mom said was on her flight (same airline, same route, so should have same selection - plus they should be the individual mini-TVs, which are awesome.) Then go to sleep, cuz it will be about 11pm by then. Course, I'll be waking up at about 4am our time...

Think I have everything. Hope I do. ^^ Passport and money, check. Those are the most important things. Well, those and the Hamlet tickets. ;)

Want anything in particular from over there? That I can legally bring back into the country? ;)

Here are a few Microsoft commercials, airing in the US, starring Jerry Seinfeld and Bill Gates:

1) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gBWPf1BWtkw
2) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rIjNJZpRtj8

I'm not exactly sure if they're supposed to be funny, but we haven't seen Jerry in anything new lately, so whatever. >.>

I just saw a commercial for a movie amusingly titled "How to Lose Friends and Alienate People." It stars Simon Pegg. I'm fucking sold on the title alone.

[identity profile] ria-oaks.livejournal.com 2008-09-17 09:46 pm (UTC)(link)
LOL awesome... Must see that. :) as well as Burn After Reading. And Tropic Thunder...

In Paris now, in our hostel and on my iPod again (ow).hamlet was fantastic. Got David tennant's autograph at the stage door- sweet!!

I'm only 15 minutes into Supernatural, but it's already overflowing with win. This season has a much stronger start than last.

All three of my shows are exceptional this time around.

[identity profile] bk635.livejournal.com 2008-09-19 04:53 am (UTC)(link)
Why can't Supernatural premieres be 2 hours long? D:

Also, we no longer receive the feed from The CW for these two shows. Instead we get them from a network called Joytv 10. Comes on channel 10 and 14 in this area now. Nice thing about it is that the shitty CW watermarks are gone.

And it's over. D:

I'm only 3 or 4 weeks in, so it might be too early to tell, but Cap was so much harder than UBC. The pace, I mean. I mean, holy shit, this far in we would have already covered about 4 chapters, but in two of my courses, we're just finishing up the 2nd.

But I don't know; maybe because it's all review to me so far? (Save for ecology, since I've never done that before.)

Omfg Prison Break has been so great so far. Of course, it requires a little suspension of disbelief, but still.

Can't wait to watch. :) Saw the first 10 odd minutes of last week's ep,but the sound synching got fucked up and I had to stop. Will just wait til I get back, now.

HOCKEY IS BACK!

Though I'd rather have soccer around too. :p

[identity profile] ria-oaks.livejournal.com 2008-09-24 08:00 am (UTC)(link)
:) Go Canucks. ^^ That's about the extent to my interest, but I hope we do well... our CEO was down awhile ago and he gave us 4 free tickets to the first Canucks game (a pre-season one, I gather, which isn't aired on TV except for specialty channels). It's while I'm away (not sure if it was last week or this week), so my co-workers both went with their spouses. We might get more, though, which is cool - if I do get ahold of two and you want to go then we could do that. :) The benefits of working for a company...

I ran into Cecilia on the bus this morning; it was nice seeing her again. She asked how you were, and I replied that you were vacationing in London and Paris. She's still at her job at the technology firm, but she moved back in with her Mom and Alex (who's testing for 3rd degree soon) because rent was getting prohibitive. TKD is apparently all kids now; I guess the adults started leaving after I left.

Sara is still at UNBC. She upgraded her major and is going for a full B.Sc now. She has to slog through all the maths and physics. >.> Good luck to her. I still have to do my Physics 100/101--will do so next year. Bleh.

Cecilia also got in touch with Jason, who helped her buy a mini-camera. His family finally managed to the house here in North Van. He's living with them in Richmond now, working at a gadget/spy shop as a clerk and tech support. He's going to Hong Kong for some family thing, and is apparently considering working there for a while (perhaps indefinitely?).

So, yeah.

Lmao.. Bobby is so awesome. They could kill Sam and Dean off and he could carry this show on his own.

Great episode. Very, very tense. They're making fun of the whole God thing, but when they get serious they handle it carefully and tastefully (so far). Will need to rewatch again on Space since I misunderstood some key dialogue with Castiel.

I can't decide who to vote for. I keep thinking about it, but no party appeals to me strongly. D:<

Feeling better?

[identity profile] ria-oaks.livejournal.com 2008-10-01 10:08 pm (UTC)(link)
Mm, I know what you mean. ^^ I know who I'm NOT voting for, that's a given (esp after the recent cuts to arts funding, and his bullshit remark that 'most Canadians have no need for art in their lives'), but the others... yeah, dunno. Can't say I'm in love with either the NDP or the Liberals these days, and anyway there's little (no) chance of the Liberals getting in this time (usually I'd vote for them to ensure they get in rather than the Convervatives...). Thinking Green this time - sure they won't get in, but part of that's because everyone who supports them says the same thing and ergo doesn't vote for them. ^^ Anyway, the Bowen/West Van Green MP candidate was previously our Liberal MP, so I figure he's got more of a shot of getting in than most Green candidates (okay, so granted he left the Liberals admist a minor scandal, even so... he seems like a pretty decent guy - I even met him last year, he came to the opening of the credit union. Which I thought was pretty nifty, really, since it was hardly some big important political event).

Anyway, I should probably do some more research into it... I' ve been paying far more attention to the American election (in my defense, it's been going on for a lot longer...). *case in point, turns on The Daily Show on ch57* Missed this show the last 2 weeks being away. :) Aww Jon, I love you...

Least if I were American I'd have a clear choice. *grin* Sometimes I really wish we had a way of impacting their election, simply because their choice of president ultimately affects everyone, not just them. Depressing but true.

Also, fun fact? Sarah Palin kinda looks like my old boss. Quite a bit, actually. Terrifying.

And yeah, feeling a bit better, but still home from work. Can't sit up for long or stand up without feeling kinda dizzy. Hope I can go tomorrow for at least a few hours... got my first drawing class tonight, too, and doubt I'll be able to make it to the entire thing. Hoping to go for the first bit, though.

Probably. Trying to decide between it and Heroes, but I can watch Heroes at 10... Global's airing PB at 8, too, but I can't watch it then because I've got 2 things recording on my TiVo.

Lookin' forward to it. :)

I had a dream last night where Jensen Ackles came into the branch. But while that was cool, after he left it turned into a nightmare involving a bounced cheque and my old boss being a bitch to me. Thus proving that our new cheque hold policy is overly stressing me out. *grin* Jensen coming in was cool, though - if only that'd happen in real life... (I'm still holding out on meeting Jim Beaver or Katie Cassidy, though, since both are filming Harper's Island on Bowen).

Excellent. Bravo is apparently going to show the Showtime series Dexter. I've always wanted to watch this. Missed the first episode (downloading now), but the second one will be on tomorrow. Hope it's as good as everyone says it is.

Ooh, nifty. I've seen the first ep and while I wasn't quite sure if I liked it or not, I'm willing to give it a shot. Gonna go program my TiVo... thanks for the tip.

*reads descriptions of the next few Supernatural episodes*



Holy shit.

[identity profile] ria-oaks.livejournal.com 2008-10-13 05:18 pm (UTC)(link)
Intriguing. :) Saw the description for next ep and it sounds like a stand-alone, but will prob have story stuff woven in like last week's. This season's def going well so far - and doing pretty well in the ratings. It's beating 90210. *grin*

Windows 7. Already? Yeah, I know... Hopefully it will be worth upgrading to.

Good god... *eyeroll* Maybe they've realized that Vista was a failure and they'd rather make a new OS than try to improve it. ^^; Think it'd be easier to just, you know, address some of the problems with Vista first... then release this several years down the line.

*skims article a bit* Okay, yeah, it says about 3 years... suppose that's par for the course - most of the versions have come out within 3-5 years of each other. Bit creeped out by this, though:

We can use Live Services to know what you're interested in. So even if you drop by a [public] kiosk or somebody else's PC, we can bring down your home page, your files, your fonts, your favorites and those things.

Is it just me or does sound like it'd be rife with privacy and security problems...?

Haha.. I'm going to be participating in this hearing study soon, I think. All it really involves is watching movies with a hearing aid and some probes hooked up to my brain. 2 Sessions with an honorarium of $40.00.

Getting paid to watch movies? Fucking sweet.

[identity profile] ria-oaks.livejournal.com 2008-10-17 03:01 am (UTC)(link)
Sweet. XD I did a few of those studies to boost my Psych 100 mark. Dull, but easy... and that one sounds pretty sweet, yeah. Hopefully good movies. ^^
