VICTORY IS MINE
FIVE STARS ON VERCINGETORIX!!!!
*cough*
Ahem. As the above might indicate, I am now working on the "five star every Mark" achievement in FF13--25 to go!--and then I need to do the one to five-star the final boss (....really at the stats I have right now it should die in about two eyeblinks, I already maxed out all Crystarium roles for everyone).
I've also been patiently working on my replay of The Last Remnant--I'm doing the sidequests in Royotia, Balterossa, etc. after you first get to Elysion. I'm hoping to be capable of taking on the Fallen this time around. It annoys me irrationally that 60% of the achievement points are tied up in an incredibly difficult quest that has a plot-marker limit. (200 gamerpoints to beat it, 200 to do every sidequest--of which beating it is one--and 200 to beat a special boss unlocked by doing all the quests...fuck you, Squeenix, that is not how you design achievements.)
Also playing Glory of Heracles on my DS and the puns are so bad they're actually funny ("Don't be a heel, Achilles!") It's been a fun and brain-light game for me to play on the train and at lunch.
Also, my accomplishment for the week: writing a web program that does a set of calculations based on a moderately complex set of criteria (I think one of my if/elseif/else statements had seven conditions to cycle through...) in PHP. Which I don't know. I was piecing it together from a book and trying to make it work. Note I don't know any OTHER programming languages either. FUN ADVENTURE TIEM. Especially the 2 hours trying to debug this fucking function that wouldn't work--because I had if $variable = value instead of if $variable == value aaaaaaaaaaagh. (There was also the really fun game of spending an hour and a half chasing down why this other function wouldn't work...it was the order in which I declared my global variables....shoot me.)
BUT I DID IT. And only had to sob to awesome gamer coworker for help twice (in both of the aforementioned problems.)
However, this is why I should not be allowed to program things.
And now my head is exploding and I think it is bedtime. Or at least time to curl up with a novel.
