Final Fantasy IX

So I finally got around to finishing (well restarting) a play through of Final Fantasy IX. I originally played the game when it came out, I got it as a Christmas Present and was so excited about it. Then as I started playing it my opinion of the game was "This is utter bullshit" and I stopped on the 4th disk. I had managed to play through the entirety of the game at level 36. I hit the last disk and I couldn't keep playing. I don't really remember what set me off but I really hated the game. I think it was a combination of the games system, speed, difficulty and the art direction. Add those up and to a 12 year old the game was pretty bleh.
I played it directly after finishing Final Fantasy 8 too. So the sudden shift in worlds was a bit jarring. To go from high tech environments to a medievalish setting with steampunk elements and I kind of lost interest. However, having played through it fully (on the psp no less) I find it to be one of my favorite Final Fantasy games without question. I almost put it higher than Final Fantasy IV, almost. I'm not sure why my opinion of the game is so different now than it was 12 years ago, but I guess my age as an adult made me understand it more. I connected with the characters this time around, and found a lot of references that made me go "that was pretty clever" or "I see what you did there" and laughed a great deal. The little nods to the past Final Fantasy games were really cleaver too. I have to say that the localization team for this game, did an astounding job, I have to say it's probably the best story wise of the more recent Final Fantasy titles.
The plot was easier to understand now that I'm older, the life and death aspect the shortness of life, the fact that living in itself is the true adventure. That it doesn't matter how short it can seem, it's what you make out of it that matters. That really hits me and is understandable now. Having experienced my fair share of death and everything (especially in the past 12 years, I've had at least 3 or 5 family members I've had to go to funerals over) it finally sets in what this game is about. I still don't like the art style, but I can get over that when everything else makes up for it in abundance. However, I will fucking stab a man in the jaw with a knife if I have to catch another fucking frog, or dig up another chocograph. Mark my words on that one.

Wow! A Near Post Appeared!

So yeah... its been a while. Too long really and boring to get into. In a nutshell. RL can flipped upside down. Some stuff happened. PC harddrive got nuked and had a meltdown. Lost many a years collections of some nice stuff. So moving on. My wonderful friend Kohki has convinced me to restart the comic again. (that was in the hd that went poof) Though Im not sure where I was going with the whole thing. I re read a few of them. I understand the core of it, but I lost all my side notes and chracter recolorings and such.

Not sure wether its easier to start over (4th time i think over the years) or to continue it some how. Thoughts if any... oh look a tumbleweed!

Lex Luthor....you're a fuck up

Okay, please tell me again WHY Lex Luthor is Superman's arch-nemesis? I'm watching the new Justice League: Doom movie and I can't help but think, "Why?" Why didn't Lex think of this shit?!?! Put a bomb on Flash that blows up (watch Speed doofus). Make Alien Man-Hunter drink a poison that he sweats out and becomes flammable. And the easiest and most OBVIOUS 1......MAKE A BULLET OUT OF FUCKING KRYPTONITE!!!!! Again Proof Lex is just a saner Dr. Evil. God dammit this shit pisses me off!! fuck the three of us could fucking rule the DC universe. I mean it be so fucking EASY!!!! This is stupid. No, this is beyond stupid. I've thought of that YEARS ago!!! I could be a fucking super-villain in DC!!!!

Ok, I'm watching this and they save Superman....HEAD-SHOT WHY DID METALLO NOT DO A FUCKING HEAD-SHOT!!!!!

Simple "Hey Supes." BANG done, over, no more little boy blue. WHY ARE THEY SO FUCKING STUPID!!!!! Bane was awesome in what he did, he fucking buried Bats with his dead parents. didn't kill him but damn it was still cold. Why are Bats villains the only smart ones? Please someone tell me why all the DC villains except the likes of Joker, Bane, Riddler (that hurt me), Penguin, and other big named bat-villains the only ones who go for the gold when they do things?!?!

Its The Simple Things...

Ah the joy of getting a new computer... the joy of losing ALL your files on the last one... the joy of iTunes telling you that you are not authorized to listen to your purchased music becasue you have authorized too many computers already.... the joy of staring at 1.5TB HD that is 94% empty... The joy of trying to remember all your bookmarks... The joy of nearly 5 years of collecting FF doujins and others works gone... The joy of having a computer that is too powerful for its own good... The joy of it all... No idea where to begin...

The last computer had a meltdown after 8 months of being on. Its my own fault. The power supply was going and I never replaced it. It finally went taking the whole thing with it in a little puff of white smoke. The plastic on the HD actually started to melt from the months of heat. The processor choked on dust underneath it though in a space that a human hair could not fit...

But its the simple things that make me happy... I got a new wireless keyboard and mouse with the puter... FAIL!

Squeeeeeeeeeeeee

Squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Like I have to say anything else?
