Final Fantasy Tactics?

For anyone who'd still like to talk about FPS's, I'll throw a few cents out on them. Half-life 2: very pretty, nice physics, and a decent bag of fun to be had, but it felt more like a dangerous playground than a focused FPS experience. While that's what they were going for to show off their...

VIII. Junctioning is the first time micromanaging numbers has been fun, GFs were fun to use, and the story was a joy. The "we grew up together!" twist was pretty lame, but besides that, it was beautiful and fun.

With the "killer apps" either porting to other systems (GTA: XCS and Lumines), being simple ports of older games at a new game price, or being toned-down sequels to existing, it's difficult to justify the PSP bundle at a price any higher than $160 with a solid pack-in game (as opposed to a...

I've been playing Halo 2, and I'm catching up on some titles I missed through rental. I'm interested in going back and trying Psychonauts on a gamepad, since the PC version was all keyboard-and-mouse now that it works. It's a little annoying to have to wait for patches, for each new game, but...

Maybe I'll borrow it again. It'll be a long summer, and if things continue as they go, one of unemployment. :(

I tried that one, and it was so devestating that I knew it was the wrong place to be.

Being left blind, deaf, and without fingers.

I was sledding at a new hill as a kid, and I hit a bump I hadn't seen and flipped right onto my head. I slid across the sled-packed snow on my head for a few seconds, then fliped back onto my saucer sled. I was dazed for a few seconds, and continued sliding. With a funny smell in my nose, I...

I reached that milestone. I guess my frustration that the level of the accessible areas before that first dungeon are extremely under level, and those first higher level monsters are much, much stronger than the goblins and bees I'd been fighting a moment earlier. The issue was just that at...

I try. I really do. At least my grammar, spelling, and mechanics are consistent.

Kinda like how Nintendo had modems for the Famicom back in the 1980's, and people keep complaining about how Nintendo took so long to get their heels into the online game. They were so far ahead of the curve, but the technology wasn't ready for it. Streaming Zelda dungeons? Gee, that sounds...

I really enjoyed the Azuremyst Isle area... very expertly crafted leveling curve, and everything is pretty. I slipped from 1-20 in no time, before leaving for the mainland. It makes me excited to get to some 60+ content. Too bad I've hit the mid-30's rut again. That's about when I quit my...

How could you bear it? I hardly got to the first dungeon by the time the painful pace of the game eroded my spirit to dust.

Indeed. I guess God of War II just isn't as stimulating as it could've been. And I, for one, am starting to sink into a mire of preliminary work on finals projects. I just compain at colds, besides. Lots of tissues, warm food, and patience.
