After watching Bob so courageously get a triforce tattoo between his shoulder blades I must confess I've begun to think about getting a tatoo. He has zelda represented, so I was thinking maybe I could represent Final Fantasy with the meteor logo from Final Fantasy VII. Then, my girlfriend could get a Mario tattoo and the triumvirate would be

Ah, nothing like a night of Zelda with a good friend! I have sorely missed all night gaming with friends, let me tell you. Could this be the beginning of a return to that way of life? I sure hope so.

Dear Bob, you musn't stay in Fairbanks this summer!

I just found out that the Final Fantasy concert tour is coming to Seattle. This was an emormous hope of mine! Getting to Seattle is much more feasible than Chicago or San Francisco. However, it's still somewhat hard to do financially, so any donations would be gladly accepted!

It was perhaps the worst episode of the O.C. ever, but it's the most grateful I've ever felt for the fact that I watch that show. Unbeknowst to me (or my girlfriend, as she slipped the tape in to record it), they were planning to show the Star Wars III theatrical trailer for the first time ever at the end of the show. Let me tell you, that was ( Read more... )

So I just read that there's a slight possibility of a theatrical release of Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children, which has grown from the originally intended hour length to more than ninety minutes. This is obviously very exciting, and I'm all for it, but I'd hate for it to flop like Square's last big screen outing. I wouldn't worry about it ( Read more... )

I never quite realized how snobby the world had become until I began managing a coffee shop. Let me tell you! Coffee shop customers are the most uppity pricks I've ever had the displeasure of encountering. There's nothing more grating on the nerves than the simple phrase: "I'd like a heavy tan decaf soy latte with sugar free vanilla and an extra ( Read more... )

There are few moments better than when you're listening to a song you've heard hundreds of times, and then finally realize what it means.

I truly believe that our current videogame choices have made us rusty. Or maybe it's just that I've gotten more used to rpgs over the years...but I popped in the Megaman Anniversary Collection yesterday and tried my hand at the original Megaman (which I've still never been able to beat). Man, is it hard! I believe I tried 4 of the six stages and ( Read more... )

I'm considering recording the amount of time I listen to power ballads per week over a month or so, and then deriving an average amount per week. I'm willing to bet it'd be pretty high! Ridiculously high, in fact. Probably higher than the amount of TV a lot of teenagers watch. It drives my co-workers crazy, it drives my girlfriend crazy, and I' ( Read more... )

I remember a time when I could spend all day on the internet. Now, alas, I have but three (or four) websites to check and then suddenly I realize there's nothing more to do. I've now arrived at that sad moment, though it's sad only because I have to figure out what to do next. The books I'm reading are at work, my story is on hold, and I don't ( Read more... )
