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.

That's what I'm thinking. I suppose they'll use it as an opening to season 4.

There we go. Sam's telekinetic powers resurfacing in the plot.

about time, too. It's been 2 seasons since the time he moved that cabinet or whatever with his mind.

Now they just have to address the demon's blood and Mom things.

yeah. I gather that's next season...

yeah, maybe. though Kripke claimed that they'd wrap up the deal arc this season...

I think they will. Next season will be like "Sam and Bobby: Saving Dean from Hell"

That's one creepy kid.

AWW BOBBY. "Am I some ditchable prom date?" "family don't end with blood". I love you so much.

Hee yeah. Oh boys, I love you. You can't sing worth shit, but I love you. :)

oh dean. o.o Part of me wonders if he really did know? And if not, if he killed him thinking he was human? That was my first assumption...

I had a feeling the cop was a demon as well. I wonder if it's a side-effect of being marked by the hellhounds?

I'm really interested in seeing what they'll do once they find out Lilith is a little girl, though. I don't think they have it in them to kill one. Guess I'll find out soon...

Guess so.

Hmm, yeah...

"You're Hell's bitch." LOL

Yikes, that was close.

I guess they can't show explicit murder of children on TV or something..

Date: 2008-05-16 04:43 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] ria-oaks.livejournal.com
That would be pretty dark, yeah. Heh. Though lots of crime shows depict children being killed and such, so... least I think they do, not watching many such shows myself.

Do they show the actual execution? Or just bodies?

Even with all the horror movies I've seen, I can't recall a moment when they showed a child being murdered.

I dunno, I haven't seen enough... mostly bodies, prob, and maybe the lead-up to the murder without the actual act.

DEAN. ;_;

Few more minutes left... damned commercials.

No shit. That was pretty graphic for TV.

I just hope it doesn't end here. :|

Thinking about it, the last time we saw Sam's telekinetic powers was when Dean was in grave danger. Same thing here; I wonder what Lilith's goal is.

Hmm, it's only 9:52... hopefully a few more minutes.
