So, in an attempt to out-do last year's autographed copy of Fight Club and thereby forever cement his title as Best Gift-Giver Ever, the Boyfriend somehow wrapped his claws around a copy of Final Fantasy XII: International, and-through some nefarious technological voodoo beyond my comprehension-modified our old PS2 to play it.

Because I haven't geeked out in a while.

A good portion of my summer has been dedicated to video games, specifically the Final Fantasy series. (Contrary to popular belief, I do play games from other series.) I beat III, replayed IV and VI, and am currently working my way through V and The After Years. My goal is to cross Item #25 off my bucket ( Read more... )
