Day 4 - Your guilty pleasure game

Definitely Final Fantasy X-2. Yes, yes, it was silly, giggly, airheaded fluff compared to Final Fantasy X, but it was fun silly, giggly, airheaded fluff. I liked being able to switch job classes during battle (the Sailor Moon-esque transformation scenes amused me too), Shuyin and Lenne's story was quite touching, and the cutscenes were gorgeous as ever. I especially liked the Farplane scene with Yuna and Shuyin. Granted, the music was nowhere near as good as FFX, but still, 'Yuna's Ballad' 'Eternity' and the instrumental of '1000 Words' are really pretty. And then there's Gippal. Ok, so his dress sense left a lot to be desired (pirate-clown hybrid, wtf?), but still. GIPPAL.

Day 5 - Game character you feel you are most like (or wish you were)

I'd probably say Tifa Lockhart from Final Fantasy VII, although I don't have her maternal streak. It's more the way she tries to stay upbeat and positive, but she's prone to bouts of insecurity and negativity all the same, and how she's sensitive to other people's feelings, but finds it difficult to speak out about her own. I can really identify with her in that respect. Of course, if we're talking about characters I wish I was like, then it'd be the Devil May Cry 4 incarnation of Dante, because he's just so much fun.

Day 6 - Most annoying character

Ken Amada from Persona 3. No contest. Not even Genesis's constant spouting of LOVELESS quotes or Tidus's teeth grindingly irritating 'huh's EVERY TIME SOMEONE SAYS SOMETHING GODDAMMIT TIDUS SHUT UP AND SHUT UP NOW are as annoying as Ken Amada is. I hate everything about him. Right down to the insignificant little things like the fact he puts a wooly jumper on but still insists on wearing his shorts in winter. Irrational my hate may be, but I cannot abide him. And it's not because of Shinji either. I just intensely dislike him as a character, in both The Journey and The Answer. Speaking of which, one of my favourite parts of The Answer was smacking him around with Aigis and Metis. Ugh. Ken.

Day 4 - A song that makes you sad

Blur's No Distance Left To Run. You can just hear the emotion on this track.

Day 5 - A song that reminds you of someone

The DJ Sammy version of Boys of Summer reminds me of a certain person. Whenever I hear it, I remember how excited and happy I was at that time, and even though that whole thing was full of fail, the song still makes me smile a bit.

Day 6 - A song that reminds of you of somewhere

Shine On by R.I.O reminds me of my holiday in Lanzarote two summers ago. In the resort where we were staying, there were a group of employees called the Animation Team who used to try and get people involved in games and fun activities and things. I wasn't really fussed about joining in, me being me, I just wanted to be left to do my own thing without peppy people trying to convince me I'd have loads of fun if I'd just come and play beach volleyball. Anyway, in the second week, at least once a day this song would start up, and the Animation Team would gather around the pool and do this whole dance routine to it. So whenever I hear this song I can just picture them, and the waterfall and the pool and the sun. Can't wait to go there again, the weather was gorgeous and I just had a carefree two weeks and really enjoyed myself.

30 days of gaming, 30 days of music, 30 days of...
