Gaming stuff, art ramblings

Dude, all you gamers out there - check out the new trailer for FFIV DS... shiny as hell. Plus, voice acting! I want a DS just for this and FFIII.. I mean yeah, yeah, I know, FFIV has been remade so many times now that it's ridiculous, and yes the only real thing new about this is the shiny graphics but, well, it is pretty cool to see FFIV in 3D. :)

Course, I also want a PSP for FFTactics: The War of the Lions (2 player!!) and FFVII: Crisis Core, but oh wells... first I need to work my way through my PS2 backlog. -_- FFXII - getting there, played some more the other night. Level raising in the Tchita Uplands right now, how exciting. But they're pretty easy enemies, there are a lot of them, and they yield reasonably decent experience considering the lack of challenge. Anyway, after FFXII I should really finish DQVIII... have had it for almost 2 years and am only part way through. -_- It was a damned fine game, too. Lesse, what else... have had Kingdom Hearts for probably 3-4 years now and have only played a few hours worth... maybe someday. Ooh, and Shadow Hearts 3, I forgot that I'd even bought it! For only $19.99, too. Also have Phantom Brave, which I got for like $10 or something used. And I really want to buy Disgaea 2.

Too many games, too little time or inclination to play them. Le sigh.

So what do I do instead? I sign up for [livejournal.com profile] yuletart. XD XD What the hell, it'll be fun... and unlike the other challenges which I keep signing up for, I only have to do one piece of art for this. Not, you know, 50. Or 100. *headdesk* I should really give up my [livejournal.com profile] fanart100 in case someone else wants to sign up for Sawyer... and I should finish [livejournal.com profile] fanart50... got 10 done, that's a start! Course, haven't touched it since March, and I'm not as hardcore into Oz now.

Speaking of art, got some vaguely angsty SPN pics to post... will do so later. Just doodles of Sam, and one of Sam and Dean with lots of shading and some sort of "meaningful juxtaposition of light and dark" or some shit like that. I dunno. XD Also got a Wincest one going which I'll post when done.

Anyway... bored now. Sitting in the Bowen Library waiting for Mom's meeting to finish so we can take the ferry down. We're going to the wedding of one of Mom's students, who invited her and the rest of the class for some reason... it's a traditional Chinese wedding, though, so that should be interesting to see from a cultural standpoint. :) We're going to be stuck in North Van overnight, though - so if anyone wants to do anything tomorrow, let me know. I've got my cell with me...

I want a PSP for FFT and the SO remakes, and whatever platform SO4 ends up on. But I'll probably get neither because I'm too cheap.

And also: school.

I put on a new pair of socks today. It feels good to have a functioning elastic in them, once again.

I hope it's an indoor wedding. The weather is nice, but it's not fun to stand in.

SPACE fails. It's not showing Supernatural on Fridays anymore, but on Tuesdays instead. Which is terrible, because now I can't rewatch episodes so quickly.

I'll add more things when I think of what to say.

Within about 8 hours, a dividing animal cell can copy an amount of DNA equivilent to copying 1000 books (~800 pages each), and only mistaking 1 or 2 letters in the process.

I figured I'd have more thoughts, but as it turns out, I really don't.
