Oct. 1st, 2009 11:35 amAnother naptime post. I should probably have some lunch while I have the chance...I have some leftover steak and avocado tacos in the fridge. But mostly I just want oreos, and maybe some video games to go with.
Yep, I went and bought Final Fantasy XII for $25 (oh, the joys of being wayyyy behind the video game curve) after the copy I rented crapped out on me. I'm still getting used to the schnazzy new 3D-with-ranging-perspective navigation and the somewhat-real-time battle system. Am I a total luddite for preferring the old straightforward wander around a map schtick, which didn't have me bumping into shit and getting lost while I try to juggle the camera angle? And I just know I am going to lose tragically at the fighting (gambits? wtf??) since I was unstrategic enough with the plain old menu-and-turn-based thing as it was. Grinding for stats is going to be more irritating than ever. Still, the graphics are mind-blowing and the story interesting so far, so I am willing to exert myself more than usual on the gameplay front.
ONE WEEK TILL KITCHEN RENO. The basement is piled high with all our nice flat-boxed cabinets. I cracked one of them open to see what the doors looked like and did a little happy dance. OMFG our kitchen will be gorgeous and I can't wait!! But meanwhile I REALLY have to make with the packing. This weekend, by god.
Right: about those oreos and video games...
