"long-time fans will notice that the fighting [in FF13] has been totally revamped with the Active Time Battle System" <-- ... didn't they first introduce ATB in FFVII? o_oa

Also worrisome: Gamestop email talking brightly about 'movielike' aspects.

Not that it's going to affect me unless I go over to Dawn's and play gamer girlfriend, we don't have a PS3 and we're unlikely to get one because a) price and b) irrational prejudice against causing Amy seizures and I'm almost totally a DS gamer now. :|b Which is going to suck when the rumored next gen comes out ... which hopefully won't be a while since they upgraded once to DSi anyway.

Speaking of gaming, I need to figure out who has a DS I can hijack so I can transfer all these damn special Pokeymans from Platinum to SoulSilver. Finally got around to beating on the special version Pokeymans and was really irritated by having to beat the shit out of Cyrus first. I had two lower level dudes with me and got creamed so bad I let the game send me to a Pokemon Center so I could go get my Electric dude - Cyrus has a Gyarados and a Honchcaw or whatever - which worked out a lot better. You go into a special dungeon to get the Platinum special one! Bless Cyrus' heart, I want to give him special boob-squishy hugs around the neck and cookies. Also write fic where it turns out he's not that evil after all because he after all has a Crobat. (Evolves via affection.) I think Platinum is like, actively encouraging this.

Now I'm futzing around before actually fighting Volkner ... is it just me or is there a lot of yaoi doujinshi re him and Flint from the Elite Four? I'm just saying. "LIGHT HIS PASSION AGAIN", not gay at all. (I'd look for fic but frankly the thought of looking for Pokemon fic terrifies me even more than most of my fandoms.) I need to get a couple more levels and then I should be good to start Victory Road, which I remember being super fustrating in Pearl, although they fixed stuff this time around so your average level ends up being higher by the time you hit Sunyshore.

Okay tonight I am really truly going to go to the god damn knitting night and pretend to be sociable.

pokeymans, gaming, geekery
