lame

Slice!
Main thoughts occupying head every day for past few weeks (with less of 2 on weekends):

1. So tired
2. Is it Saturday yet?
3. Wow, I can't draw

It's crunch time at work, so that mostly makes sense. Definitely looking forward to having two weeks off in a month. T_T

I'm mainly posting to proclaim that I am replaying Suikoden II after ten years! Whoever says this game is overrated is a total poopy head that doesn't really like video games. The graphics are awesome even on an LCD, the dialogue's freaking entertaining despite a complete disregard for spelling/punctuation/grammar, and Viktor and Flik acting like a curmudgeonly married couple never gets old. [info]evilhayama quite rightly pointed out that the battle system was also pretty snazzy for its time - multiple things happen at once! None of this "jump forward, slash air in front of me to mysteriously hit enemy at other end of screen, jump backward, rinse, repeat" bizzizzness.

Then again, the games I'm playing most on the 360 right now are Castlevania: SOTN and Pinball FX. Oh XBox Live Arcade, why you make me so lame?

Speaking of lame, is it sad that the XBox is blogging more than we are?

Wait, people play Suikoden II and say it's -overrated-?

I liked how Jowy's name had like fifty bazillion variations within the game, and that Fliktor is still forever. The battle system rocked, I mean auto function. Can't get more economical than that.

Ugh hope those two weeks come soon. Been missing your delicious arts!

I reckon it's just sour grapes over the prices the game now goes for ($100-$150). Pil(l)ika's name keeps changing too. XD

Oh, and I think it's your fault I painted Guy last night! Not too happy with him, but it beats drawing nothing D:

I just started replaying Suiko2 myself last week. With my computer out of commission for a few days, I figured I'd try finishing off some of my gaming backlog, looked at all the PS2 games I still hadn't touched, and popped in Suikoden II instead. Yey nostalgia.

What the hell? You were right, your 360 is totally sassing you for not playing. And it's sulking.

It's kind of scaring me.
