Assorted And Completely Unrelated Questions for my F-List

[first_seventhe]

1. Let's say Sev is thinking of asking for either an X-Box or a PS3 for Christmas. Tell me about both of them: pros and cons, games I can get, which you would recommend for someone who is kind of a shitty gamer anyway. Let's go!
2. I have a bit of code I wrote a while ago that could potentially be used for a fic exchange. I'm not sure it's going to work

OMG I MISS YOU SO MUCH BB

(I am actually in your snuggie lolol)

I just DLed the english versions of GW in slightly smaller files too (great for the ipad) -- they are 20 minutes each so that's perfect, 20 min for elliptical or a fast run and if I'm doing a long run I can get 2-3 eps in at once.

REWATCH IS GO

These massive essays on Quistis/Rinoa need to happen. And gawd, I haven't seen Gundam in foreverrrrr. Spam away!

[first_seventhe]

DID YOU KNOW, Quistis/Rinoa actually has more support than i thought it did? Now that isn't hard because I thought it had ZERO support (other than HOT), but upon replaying I am actually... seeing it?

[sissyhiyah]

I've seen very, very little Quistis/Rinoa stuff out there. I've actually seen more Quistis/Tifa, come to think about it, which makes no sense other than hot. But in a way, I can kind of see it in the game, especially towards all things space-rescue related. And in the mansion. Hmmm....

And here I was, thinking it was just Squall that made her get all antsy.

I have a feeling I'm not leaving the house today. Time to start yet another replay.

What kind of gaming does he do? ie RP, 1st person shooter, sports games? I believe the costs of games are pretty compatible between the two systems.

I did a rewatch of GW last year and I really enjoyed it.

[first_seventhe]

It's for me XD I am a horrible gamer, though, and I mostly play RPGs pretty much exclusively. I've played other kinds of games and I'd love to branch out but I really suck at finding time for gaming. Which is why I really only want to buy one system, because it makes no sense for me to own two really expensive systems I don't play enough. XD

I just watched it for THE FIRST TIME, and I'll admit: I was really lost for about the first 50%. Having gotten to the end and basically BECOME OBSESSED, I want to rewatch it like immediately so that I can answer burning questions like "What the fuck happened in Luxembourg???" when I'm trying to write something more descriptive than shameporn for it. I watched it in Japanese with subtitles; I've downloaded the English dub for my rewatch, because I'm interested to see what the dub voices are like, and also because I'm interested to see if I understand more in English.

[lil_1337]

I've seen the series like five or six times and I always see something new every time I watch it.

PS3 is probably the one you want since the graphics are supposedly better and Sony usually focuses more on the RPs. What I would do is research the games you would like to play and see which system they are available on and which has the better controls and graphics for each game because some games play better on one system or the other.

[first_seventhe]

It's a really complicated story, and I spent most of my time being gay for all the characters, rather than trying to follow all the details -- I found it really hard to keep track of things like WHERE shit was happening or WHERE they were coming from and jesus is this a colony or earth, oh my god, why are they everywhere OH WAIT IT'S QUATRE *STOPS PAYING ATTENTION*

so I really want to watch it again and pay more attention to that kind of stuff.

Yeah, PS3 also has a BluRay, and -- I don't have the world's nicest TV ever, but it's decent, and having a bluray player would be cool if I was already going to spend the money. I'll just have to look up the games and see what's what.

I would be down for SevMas.

FWIW, you could probs ramble on fandom all day, every day and not hear a complaint from me. Especially FFX, because apparently I will never, ever get over that shiz.

[first_seventhe]

I have a lot of EPIC THOUGHTS on FFX after this replay >.>

[muggy_mountain]

GOOD. I WANT TO HEAR THEM ALL.

Especially if some of them are about the vast Yevonite cover-up regarding Wen Kinoc & Auron's debauched lost weekend, because we all know it must have happened, right?

[first_seventhe]

OBVIOUSLY. There's a sphere out somewhere that Auron really wants to find and destroy.

XBox has Lost Odyssey, which Sakaguchi made after leaving Squaresoft and is fantastic
