Xenogears goodness
Last night, I spent the majority of my night curled up on the couch with Xenogears. I'm now 8 hours in, I don't think I've sat and played a console for more than an hour since I was 19ish. Makes me realized how crappy the games out today are (story wise) comparatively. I'm on the part where you fight Elly in her gear when she's on "Drive". So I'm close to Fei's next really big "Freak out" with his Id muhahaha. I love Id, even more than Sephiroth as a "Villain" , Graf is my close second.
(and yes Freud is abound in this game to those of you who haven't played it. :) ) Along with Gnostism, some Jewish religion refrences and terms *"Zohar"* , and a lot of refrences to Biblical terms and people, with a twist since it's a different universe. =/ Another game that points out the foley in Christianity and it's teaching. meh. Final Fantasy Tactics was like a big slap in the face to the Christian church as well, I wonder how many people got the point the writers were trying to make there heh. My favorite quote from that game is:
There is no reason why things end.
Were it not so, all would be meaningless.
That pretty much sums up my beliefs there heh.
In case you haven't noticed I'm not a reglious person. :) To me the Bible, which I have read completely by the way, is good fiction. The Moon is not a "light in the sky", the sun doesn't revolve around the earth, the world is not 6,000 years old. It puzzles me how people can still go on believing what they are taught by the church when we have all this proof right in front of us. =/ And don't give me that "you need to have faith" or "God works in mysterious ways" crap. It's just a way for you to say "I don't know" without pointing out the own flaws in your own religion. *sigh* Not going to apologize to those of you who are religous, I believe what I believe, you believe what you believe. :)
On an even nerdier note, some astronomy stuff.
Oh has anyone ever read the actual research and theories on Black Holes? That stuff makes my head spin. Also, trying to grasp the concept that space is infinate makes my head hurt as well. Heh. This is the kind of stuff Austin and I discuss when we go out to dinner, that and WoW, which is even sadder lol.
