FF ramblings

[ria_oaks]

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.

I'm watching the show, commenting, and playing Freecell.

Lol. Multi-tasking. :)

Why the hell wouldn't he pull the guy out and do CPR? If he drowned, theoretically Sam could possibly revive him with CPR, right? Yeesh.

[bk635.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but a ghost did it.

[ria-oaks.livejournal.com]

True, but I still vaguely think he could have tried. The actual cause of death was water in his lungs, right? Even if it was put there by a ghost.

*head explodes from hot* Oooh yeah, Dean.

"When this is over, we should really have angry sex."

"Don't objectify me."

*dies*

[bk635.livejournal.com]

Haha yeah, that was funny.. I wonder who Sam's date is.

[ria-oaks.livejournal.com]

Is it bad that I've kinda lost track of what's actually... happening? Too much writing comments and staring at the pretty boys. -_- And girl.

Ghost's remains are his right hand, which is kept in the museum they're infiltrating now.

Bela pretended to faint so that she and Dean could gain access to the upper rooms.

Sam is being creeped out.

Dean is playing spy/thief.

[ria-oaks.livejournal.com]

Ahh, it's a museum. Okay. Just missed that part, got the rest. :) Thanks. Not paying as good attention as I should be.. this computer is dangerous.

[ria-oaks.livejournal.com]

Haha, ah Bela, you are a tricky one. :)

Uh oh, ghost ship... the Black Pearl! *cough*

[bk635.livejournal.com]

How the hell did she get it from within Dean's jacket..

Anyway, since when does Burrard Inlet have a ghost ship?

[ria-oaks.livejournal.com]

Cuz she's smart that way.

Lol, indeed.

[bk635.livejournal.com]

I wonder how long it'll take Dean to lose it.

[ria-oaks.livejournal.com]

I look forward to that day...

oh boys.

[ria-oaks.livejournal.com]

And gotta say, I almost think I'd be down with them having angry sex, cuz wow hot. Although ultimately, yeah, don't want her as a love interest. But yum. *considers the fanfiction possibilities that will no doubt arise* This fandom could use more possibilities for het pairings, really... or any pairing that's not Sam/Dean, much as I enjoy Wincest.

Hot DAMN Sammy. *stares* Christ but Jared is gorgeous, espeiclly with his hair slicked back like that.
