I was finally able to start Xenoblde Chronicles yesterday, and while I only played for about 90 minutes, I already have a few things to say. First, I'm clearly not far enough to find all the advertised points of "revolution" here, but that will come with time ( Read more... )

I've had a chest cold for a few days, so at the recommendation of a friend, I took Buckley’s to try to blast all the gross gunk out of my system.

I knew it “tasted awful”, but no one warned me that it tasted like freaking Pinesol.

I have now warned the masses.

Holy snap. I sent my Wii to Nintendo's repair shop in Vancouver via Purolator on Tuesday. It came back yesterday--on Thursday. Now that's fast ( Read more... )

So my copy of Xenoblade Chronicles came on Friday and this morning I put aside time to start it. Aaaaand the Wii wouldn't read the disc. It would read other discs, however, so I called the 800 number. It turns out the Xenoblade disc is a double-layer disc, etc. etc., and so some Wiis have difficulty reading the format. It usually means the lens ( Read more... )

Awhile ago, I was TL;DRing about this artist who owed me commission work for a bajillion years and was... actively doing other art/commissions. Again, I get that art blocks happen, etc. etc., but I sort of felt I was being ignored or something, and it kind of sucked. Anyway, I messaged her about this, trying to be polite and understanding, and ( Read more... )

More awkward conversations with my mom. We were talking about pigs as farm pets, and my dad said that pigs were really dirty, IE: usually covered in mud or dirt whenever he sees them.

ME: Well, they wouldn't be if there was no mud to roll in. I hear they clean up easy.
MOM: But mud isn't really dirt.
ME: Uh, actually... yeah, it is.

I decided to try to write some original fics, but I haven't written in awhile and my prose feels really clunky, even though I read a lot. Huh. Anyway, if I finish anything decent, I'll post it ( Read more... )

I finally started seriously playing Tales of Graces f this week! It actually got here on release day (I was surprised, too), but I was a little over-engrossed with Avatar at the time, so I didn't do too much in-game. Now that I'm done Avatar, though, I've been playing regularly ( Read more... )

Because if you try to Google it, I guarantee autocomplete will give you the wrong "Legend of". :9 ( Read more... )

Just a heads up to anyone who wants to play Xenoblade: the game is only being released through GameStop stores and Nintendo's online shop, and will be limited! The game is also supposedly a pretty phenomenal "evolution" step for JRPGs, so if you want it, I've been warned a few times that it's in your best interests to preorder ( Read more... )
