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.

Just got distracted - did Gordon just get turned?? Kinda expected it to happen, but.. nice twist, I guess. Sucks for him.
no subject
Your nostaligia for Buffy and Angel got triggered seeing Harmony's actress. ;p
Oho.. Gordon got a powerup.

*watches Gordon kill guy in car* Onnnn the other hand... o.o

It's hard to say, because the show rarely deals with vampires.
For all we know they may be more malicious and instinctive than the vampires on Buffy and Angel.
As of right now, I hope Gordon doesn't turn into a vampire-hunting vampire. >.
no subject
Yeah, true enough... they really haven't said much about the nature of vampires. I'm curious if they are by nature evil once changed or if they're the same but with different abilities and a taste for blood. Based on this ep, I suspect the former.

It appears that vampires still retain their soul/humanity, but it's corrupted allowing them to kill without remorse. It might be unlike Buffy and Angel where they cannot control their urges to feed, unless Gordon proves otherwise (since he'd be the one who most likely would now).
And yay, Creepy Jesus Hunter is dead. Glad we don't have to put up with any of that now.
no subject
Maybe, yeah. Seems like it. Though it does also seem lilke they can't control their urges to feed - look at the Harmony-girl, the other two girls, and Gordon.
Heh, yeah, that was nice.

And on another note - is it just me, or doesn't it look like Gordon's blood got into his mouth...? wouldn't that turn him?
no subject
If it were Dean, then yes. But Sam? No, maybe not. Remember Croatoan?
no subject
And yeah, that's true. Intriguing.

All going according to the YED's plan?

Also, that car is awesome.
