DBZ and Et Cetera
Well, tis past my bedtime, but I felt like randomly posting prior to (hopefully) sleeping. Started playing FF Tactics in the last couple weeks, reliving all the glory of one of the finest Playstation games ever. Its such a shame that FF Tactics Advance took a shit on the franchise; FF Tactics was truly special. I mean, who doesn't love a plot where there are people who work for three different organizations, are proclaimed dead at least once, and end up backstabbing enough people to end up on top. Anyways, just got my hands on Beowulf, and he's been wreaking havoc on all those who dare to oppose his Temple Knight powers. What's that Mr. Time Mage? You think you can cast Stop on my party members, well then enjoy being petrified! Hahaha! Only a matter of time before I get Orlandu, aka The One-Man Army.
We actually got some real meat at our place to feast upon; steak patties for steakburgers, some brats, and some cheap sausage to spice up our macaroni. Had myself a steak-and-egg burger for a late dinner tonight. I do enjoy my meat.
Had ourselves another meeting of DBZ just the other day, and I've already basically doomed my character to die unless something happens. My 15-point enemy (translated as: a good deal stronger than me) is basically camping out a mile from my character's home, and I'm smart enough to head back to face off with him. Sure, I've got my fightin' ladies with me and Chelsea's there to boot, but my character would probably make them not get in the way. Add in the fact that my character doesn't want to really hurt this enemy (though he wants me dead real bad), and I'm rushing to my death before we even hit the 10 meeting mark. And I feel I'd betray my character if I did anything other than that. I mull a lot over decisions that I make for my character since they can often lead him into sticky situations, and my mind is quite prone to mulling when things bore me (like the 9 o'clock history class I have to wake up to). Of course, the only thing I do more than mull over things in DBZ is plan and strategize. I hold very few cards in my hand right now (don't really have a bag of special techniques to fall back on yet) so I've gotta find a way to come out on top or at least get something out of this. Curse my characters feelings of responsibility; he causes me all sorts of headaches. But then again, I figured this would happen from the get-go when I created this enemy-- him moreso than any of the *many* others. So yeah, right now I'm praying I can pull something out of my ass and not get eaten alive. Gotta put it all on the line in order to achieve what you desire.
THIS is why I'm glad we're playing DBZ again; moments like these leave me feeling exhilirated. Its a puzzle I have to crack, and even the best solution hinges on the luck of the moment. Quite the rush.
