I want to play a game.

That's on my to-read list as well. I'm catching up on at least some of the more classical fantasy of late. It helps that a lot of them are being reissued in ebook form. Sadly, a lot of what people generally consider to be classics of the genre are out of print and thus very difficult to find.

Hmmm...methinks I may be taking a bit of a trip to Metacritic to see what's up so far. Sounds promising though. Renting eh? Haven't done that in ages... I think the last game I rented was a Mortal Kombat game for the PS2. Shoalin Monks, I think it was called. I never finished it, because I'm not big on fighting games, and not big on the MK universe either... So why did I rent it? Beats me... Well, if you wind up getting Nier, I hope you enjoy it. =)

Last coffee cake I had, it had grapes in it. Don't know if all coffee cake is made that way, but I hated it, so it sort of turned me off to trying other coffee cakes. I can eat grapes alone, but usually not if it's put in anything...like cake. Ha! Sounds like a plan to me! Though I hope I'm not one of the youths who have to save the world though... I get skurred easily. =(

I'll have to check that thread out. =D I only mentioned that the pacing might be too quick for your liking because you mentioned how the author revealed something that you thought was too soon to do so, but I'm glad that it's not the case. =)

Ooohhh! YES! I wish the NPCs had more development as well! I was shocked when Jihl was killed off. I was like "We barely got to get to know her, and she...DIES???" Lame... I'm in the fifth ark, and that place is a CHORE!!! Fate tells me that I'm close to Gran Pulse though, and that's where I wanna be, because I want to have that exploration that I hear that GP offers the player. I also pretty much agree with a lot of the other things you mentioned: Like how the Crystarium gives the "illusion of choice". At first, you think that it's going to be like the Sphere Grid in FF X, but it's not... There truly is little divergence from the paths the Crystarium offers, and even if you want to level up other roles...why would you? I mean, it's easier to just keep everyone on the roles that they knew from the start. Though I suppose that if you had extra CP, and no more nodes in your characters' main roles to fill, that you could start on another role...but it's expensive (CP wise) to do so!

Oh, didn't know it was your friend's oven. Yeah, it does make a difference when you're not used to an appliance. Ha! "Only two", you say. I don't drink, so knowing me, having "only two" would knock me out, or cause me to stumble over things. Well, I suppose my point with me telling you that is you can hold your liquor faaaar better than I could ever do. xD

Ha! You're right. =P You must have read my post in the "Do you talk about yourself" thread..or whatever it was called.

Aww... Sorry to hear about your GF. =( Hope she gets to feeling better soon. I know how it is to be disabled from fever. Your whole body hurts, and everything feels like a chore to do, even little things like getting out of bed. It's best that she just stays in bed and not overexert herself. As for myself, I get sick sometimes, and I'm a big baby when I am. I swear...I am the worst patient ever, which is why I stay away from people when I am sick.

Nier reference, eh? Has there been a review about that game yet? I read up a bit more on it, and I still don't think that it's going to top my list for "must-have games", but it doesn't look too bad. =D Maybe it will be one of those things that turns out to be really good!

Mmmmm....Donuts... You can keep the coffee cake though. xD Not really my thing. I never do much of anything here lately, so even on one of your most unproductive days, I would bet you a million gil that you did more than what I did. :/ I need to find something to do with my time. New boss? So does that mean you have a new place of employment, or she was just hired on recently?

I need to do more reading... Alther told me about a book series that he thought I would be interested in: the Artemis Fowl series. I looked a bit into it, and it looks alright. So as you can imagine, I haven't heard of the specific book you mentioned, but it seems the pacing is a little too quick for your liking. Ah, well. Hopefully there will be some more surprises in store for you. =D As for F XII, I really want to finish up my 2nd playthrough as well. I can't even remember where I'm at, it's been so long since I played it. I'm trudging through XIII, and I can honestly say at this point, this is probably the only FF game that I will not play through a second time. D= I haven't quite put my finger on it, but this game isn't as appealing to me as it was at first. Well...enough of that...good luck to you when you start shaping up your characters for their classes! =D That's one of the things I really enjoyed about XII was the high level of customization you can do in the game.

I'm glad that your Mets are doing well! Though I still don't know that much about sports, so that's about all I can say about that.

Ha! You should have seen some of the VMs that me and Fate send back and forth to one another. Those were REAMS of text! And we really didn't talk about anything!

Yeah, you better change those out... They may be doing more harm than good. I invested in some Dr. Scholl's inserts as well. There was a machine in the Wal-Mart Pharmacy area that measure the pressure points on your foot, and then suggested a certain style for maximum comfort. The test was free, but the actual inserts were pricey....I think they were like 50 bucks or something... Worth it though, because my job is pretty rough on my feet, which also effects my back. As for your burns...you know that they make oven mitts to prevent such a thing...right? =p

Something I've been meaning to tell you, but for some reason it kept slipping my mind: Congrats on your 2 year anniversary with your GF! =D I don't know how long ago it was that it was your actual anniversary, but I hope it was special for you both. =)

Y'all come back now, ya hear?

He seems to be multi-purpose that way, indeed.

I was 18 yesterday, and now I am 19. But, I could've used some time magick to change some things.

I think this guy is. The Final Fantasy Forums - View Profile: ViviMasterMage

Neither really, but I used to play Baseball so I keep an ear out for things in it

So, the Mets won two in a row and moved on to championship? That's new for them, no? lol kidding

I told you, I get along with hippos. =D
Wait, I ask you the same question. Who would you aid? ^.^

The gameplay is certainly unique and pretty interesting. In the end most RPGs have to rely on good gameplay since it is what you're going to be doing for a while and it certainly is entertaining. I know I've found myself doing more than necessary because I got side tracked with other things in the game that didn't follow the story.

Yeah I feel the same sometimes when I have nothing to do or didn't do anything the whole day I keep turning my head here and there but it goes faaaaaaaaaar away with the thoughts rolling inside, hahaha I scan my whole life since I started to remember things at my age of 4 or 3 ^___________^ till this moment and even so I hardly can sleep , but after school or working in our house all the day if we have guests I throw my body any where and sleep immediately ,it is really good feeling to feel other's voices start to disappear and you go to your own way , the way to dreams , wow I wanna sleep now , actualy I've just come back home .

I sure hope they've turned the corner. I'm also a little upset I don't have big Pelf on my fantasy team... Wright and Frenchy are KILLING me with their 0-fers.

Still, the hippo won't kill me, so that's all that matters, really. ^.^ Besides, before it becomes too dangerous, I'll have abandoned the thing for the ostrich, unless you wanna tell me that ostriches kill, too?

I haven't finished it yet and so I don't think the story really has come forward completely, which is a little on the bad side since I'm on Chapter 14 and there are 16 Chapters total. The story is pieced together slowly through like two characters until the main character eventually become involved it what is technically the main story. It has been interesting to follow so far, but because I don't have the full scope yet I can't say how it is fully yet

Nice!
so how are ewe today?

So how did the game between the mets and the braves go last night?
