....oh man, adding tags is boring.
Wish there was some option that'd let me see the really old posts... well! It's not as if there's that much on my journal that would be interesting this many years in the future, right? (Except to me, for vivid sense memories of things like having the flu junior year and dragging all my sheets off my bed in order to huddle by the computer. I... I may be an addict.)
In other, less mind-numbing news! I have started replaying Suikoden II. I'd forgotten, in all the time since Jowy was in party, how much I liked him. Oh man, the boy's a sweetheart. And Nanami is giving me some quite serious Hokuto flashbacks, which she doesn't later in the game on account of becoming less controlling after her little brother gets himself elected Official Figurehead of the Resistance.
Also, Lord Shu seriously rocks, and I find myself hoping Apple'll apprentice with him. She doesn't seem to be a bad strategist in the least! She's just doubly handicapped by being a young woman and a non-Silverberg. And, as a result, she ends up playing second fiddle. A bit of resume-padding and she could work for anyone on the continent.
The Rune of Beginning seems to suck a lot less for its bearers than some of the other True Runes. Well, except for the "almost certainly doomed to destroy your relationship with your best friend" thing. I wonder if Leknaat ever goes back to her tower and gets really drunk in a fit of depression because she knows she's doomed yet another innocent, brave, and good young man (or woman; there's got to have been a female Tenkai at some point, right? Konami'll give us that game sometime soon, riiiight?) to a terrible fate?
Luc is awesome when he's grumpy and resentful. He must've liked Tir, because he doesn't like Riou (I named my Hero2 Eirin, but Riou's his real name) very much at all and he shows it. Sadly, as my best mage, he's going to have to be spending a lot of time in-party with us. Hi Luc. Suck it up and cast The Shredding again, Luc, I can't use my Buddy Attack with Jowy anymore on account of assassination and betrayal and a party needs some kill-all-the-monsters-now attack.
Oh man, do I ever look forward to recruiting Tir. ("Gerald." It's odd, I think of a lot of the Tenkai by their real names, and yet I've never named any of them by those.) I want the Soul Eater in party, okay. And it will answer the great question of the age: did they nerf Soul Eater as soon as the person it belonged to wasn't the Tenkai, or was taking away all the instant-death attacks a brainwave around the time of Suikoden 4?
Also, have been doing a lot of art lately. I'll see if I can stick it up in this awesome new Livejournal "photo" feature.
