Video Game Rambling
March 22nd, 2006 04:46 amMy stomach is doing some weird vocalizations here... maybe I should be a little bit worried...
If picking up Chain of Memories didn't officially break my "no more new games until you finish the ones you have" resolution, I definitely broke it today because Game Crazy is evil. EVIL, I tell you! I went in there for the sole purpose of making sure that they'll have the Kingdom Hearts II strategy guides when the game comes out next week (mainly because Marc said that he'd send me the money for me to get it for him, so I wanted to make sure that they'd HAVE them first). Well, the guy working was busy with another customer at the time, so I glanced at the PS2 section for a minute. What do I see pretty much right away, because my eyes are trained to spot shit like that? They actually *have* Suikoden III. I've been looking for this game for probably 2-3 years, and I saw it in EB Games a couple of months ago, but it was 30 bucks and I didn't have the money then. And I keep hearing that the price on it is skyrocketing up to the 60's and 70's, even. Well... I checked out the price just because I had to... $12. No joke. I think I just about died right then. So... because it was a great deal and I have absolutely NO self control when it comes to video games, it came home with me. Fuck it. Apparently you can also pre-order the KHII strategy guides, so I pre-ordered two. The special one for me (hardcover, concept art, possibly a DVD... coolness), and a regular one for Marc. Hmm. Oh, I also saw videos of a couple of scenes from the Atlantica world: SCARY. Very scary. I'm so not looking forward to dealing with that world now, because they seem to have turned it into this fucked up "all the characters are going to sing like they're in a musical and you have to time the buttons to the music in a really screwed up way" thing. SO not cool. And Sora sounds so much older, I know I'm going to have to spend some time just getting used to that. Although... hello, it's logic. Haley Joel Osment is no longer a child. His voice has changed. Therefore, Sora's voice has changed. *duh*
Speaking of KH, I FINALLY beat Riku (the second battle) and sealed Hollow Bastion as of yesterday. Thank God. I was beginning to lose my mind. Of course, it could be argued (and has been) that I never really had one to begin with...
I seriously need to go do a load of laundry, as I have absolutely no clean clothes. What the hell else is new. *shrug* Okay, off to do that. I just need to un-glue my ass from the chair. Meh.
