.: Rescue :.     

Not a whole lot to report... Today was my first of two finals, which was really easy. If I got an A on it (which is definately plausible), I'll get an A in the class, anything else (including an F) I get a B. Tomorrow is going to be an interesting final, I'm not sure how it's going to go. It's not a standard test-taking final, so... We'll see, I suppose.

After my final tomorrow, I'm apparently going to Missouri to visit with relatives and congratulate my sister for graduating Central Missouri State U. (which recently changed its name to something else) I don't know exactly how long I'll be gone, but at least until Sunday, which is unfortunate. I have strong distates for being away from my computer for any length of time. I'm probably addicted, but I don't really care if I am, and it's not like I'm hurting anybody else with my addiction. (*cough* drunks)

I mentioned a bit ago that I bought a PS2 on black friday, and FF12. I'm about 70 hours in, now, and I have to say it's only gotten better. It's all hectic at the start, the story is pretty complex and a lot of names just sort of rush by you without much time to grasp who's who. Playing with subtitles is nice, because theres a lot of names that are spelled horribly different than how they're pronounced (i.e. Rex is spelled Reks, and Vain is Vayne, reasonable. But there's Mt Bur Omisace (with the end of it pronounced like S ace)). I've got some minor quips with the game, like buying equipment could be a little more informative, not to mention more details about what kind of weapon can do what, since that is never explained either... For example, apparently ninja swords have higher combo chances than other swords, and I've never had any nonranged weapon get a crit before. But that's not mentioned anywhere... I'd like some better sorting in the list of marks I've taken (which are mini sidequests in their own right), and I'd appreciate it if the monster journal entry things (if you kill enough of a certain monster, it put's a little info page about that monster in a menu, and even more tells you some more information, that is actually useful as opposed to just an entry in a Zoology book) didn't always begin with "Being that" and end up in a fragment every time, with odd capitalization. It's the little things that I don't like, as a whole it's really good.

I ramble. Basically, the rest of my week is going to suck, and if anybody has access to a teleportation device I would appreciate the use of it. That is, if it actually works. I'd rather not have my particles jumbled up upon exit.

Adion is currently listening to: Ishikawa Chiaki - house [4:15]

editing notes: keke, I didn't know names could be spelled horribly different than how they're spelled... Amazed it took me 3 reads to find that one.

That's why you get the strategy guide for the game. =)

Hmmm. Perhaps. I'd prefer not having to spend an additional $20 just so I can play my game intelligently.
