I need to hurry up and write this before I explode.

I wanted to do a more in-depth write-up on my experiences with Dissidia 012, because I feel like I’m getting a much better handle on it than I ever did with the original. In fact, I was excited about putting the PSP down long enough to type up some thoughts on the characters and game […]

Three Final Fantasy Games They Should Remake Before VI and VII

Now that we’re all on the cusp of buying yet another remake of Final Fantasy IV, I’m settling in for another round of somewhat frustrated jokes to the effect of, “Why FF4, again? Why not FF6 or FF7?” Because let’s face it — those are the ones everyone wants to see remade. We’ve all seen […]

I wonder…

…can I update this space from my phone?

I can! Success! Although the process isn’t exactly pretty. Watch for this spot to transform into some nonsense about Final Fantasy remakes just as soon as I get to the office and finish typing it up.

For now though? pork chops.

The next morning…

You know […]

Three Extremely Related Things

These three things are so related they will blow your socks off. If you’re not wearing socks, please put some on.

Related Thing the First: Did you know some Dissidia characters have Bravery attacks that lead directly into HP attacks? Because I sure didn’t! Both Cloud and Terra managed to learn one of these during […]

Dissidia 012: New Characters

Having completed the main story mode of Dissidia 012, I have OPINIONS (opinions!) about the six new non-secret characters.

Lightning

I can’t wrap my head around multiple-stance characters in fighting games, which is especially troublesome here, since I can barely wrap my head around Dissidia as it is. Lightning’s gimmick is that she can […]

Best Mafia Ever

We just finished playing a NetHack-themed Mafia game. It was the best game I’ve ever played. It’s the game I’d been training for my entire Mafia career. Here’s the thread.

I guess it’s back to regular games now. Why is it that my least favorite FF characters are the most fun to play as in […]

Jocelyn Beauregard, Private Eye (part seventeen)

Having completed NaNoWriMo ’10, I’m going to share one section of my story here every Friday until you’ve read the whole thing. Hooray for easy update days! Enjoy.

Every musclehead and tough guy in town passed through the docks from time to time. There was always work to be had there, and while it wasn’t […]

I own this game and I still don’t know what it’s called.

Yesterday I came into possession of the sequel to Dissidia: Final Fantasy. I haven’t played it yet; going to binge on Breath of Fire III tonight instead, thereby freeing up my PSP for colorfully stupid fanservice times. That means another couple hours of steamrolling Station Myria and spamming Rei’s Weretiger attack, and probably a big […]

Wrong Number Etiquette

Is there an established etiquette for when you dial the wrong number? Like, if you find yourself in this situation:

“Thanks for calling the National Association for Hobo Management. This is Carl. How can I help you?”

“Yeah hi I want a large pizza with pepperoni and pineapple.”

“Sorry, you must have the wrong number. […]

The most amazing scream ever.

Warning: Lost spoilers ahead!

Of course, the guy I was putting those spoiler tags in for has gone on and finished watching the series without me, leaving me a cold, naked husk stranded back at the beginning of season five. Thanks a lot, you horrible monster!

I’m convinced that, during the casting for this program, […]
