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.

Ruby just got a little more interesting. Angry Sam is awesome. I wonder if she was refering to that moment when the yellow-eyed demon had Sam drink his blood when he was little. That was just one scene that was so overlooked..

Kid was still adorable though.
Ooh yes, the blood drinking... definitely intriguing, I think will definitely play a part this season. And oh yes, angry!Sam is wonderful. Go Jared, emote! ;)

I don't think we've ever seen him snap at another person like that (Dean aside).
Believe it or not
George isn't at home
Please leave a message at the beep
I must be out or I'd pick up the phone
Where could I be?
Believe it or not, I'm not home~

Ahahaha. That one always makes me laugh. ;)
Incidently, we passed 800 awhile back. Go us!

Plus, if Dean ever finds out, it'll conflict with his entire black-and-white view of the whole thing.
Overall I thought that was a great episode. It had some funny parts, it had some emotion (Dean bottling up his feelings; Sam getting frustrated and angry), and it dropped some mythology hints. The kids were creepy too, but I don't watch the show for the horror, nor does it really scare me. The only downside is that there was no Bobby, but maybe that's for the better, as too much might make him less awesome. :o
Made up for last week completely.
800? Feels like we did more. I'm not really following it, but I'm sure we'll make it within a month if we regularly (or semi-regularly) post in this thread.
Ahh.. This is a great Seinfeld episode.

Totally agree... though I'm wimpy enough that I was a bit freaked out a few times. ;P SPN doesn't generally scare me much, though, it's just a vague feeling of creepiness and trepidation. Anyway, it was a nice solid episode with a nice mixture of different elements. Much better and more classic SPN than last episode.
Well, over 820 now at least. It was 815 awhile ago.
What episode/station? 14?
