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.

Haha.. If my Prison Break theory is right, then it will change absolutely everything about the show. I don't know if I should post it (even though it doesn't involve spoilers), but God damn is it ever a perfect theory. It involves Michael and Lincoln, and makes so much sense. The show has been dropping hints all over lately.

How cold is it where you are? I'm fucking freezing here; I mean, I can literally feel the cold radiate from my dually-covered single pane windows. You're in a basement so you must be a fucking snowman by now. But I guess with basements it can either be really hot or really cold.

I wonder how cold it is in the Interior--if this cold temperature is enough to kill off the mountain pine beetle.. Haha

Pretty fucking freezing here, too. My place is nice and toasty warm, though, with the baseboard heaters on. :) Plus I have my little electric throw blanket and my warm buddy (and I got a new one for my birthday, yayz! Been needing one desperately for awhile, because my old one has been dying a slow death. Everytime I pick it up there's a mini avalance of little rice things... so it's getting pretty empty). Does your heat not help enough? That sucks...

Dunno, but probably -15 to -20... it's like -30 to -40 in the Prairies. WTF. And pretty cold in Ontario, too, which is where my co-worker is headed tomorrow for the Christmas holidays. Yikes.

Anyway, I've dug out my old Ontario clothing again.. that time of year once more. *sigh* Got my big fur-lined boots (with like 2-3 inch soles, def made for Ontario winters!) and my heavy winter coat. And Mom got me a nice warm hat for my birthday. Thank god, cuz when I was out all day Saturday it was FREEZING, and thank god I was going to a Firefly event and so had brought my Jayne hat. *grin* I look like an idiot wearing it in public, for it was better than nothing...
