It's time for a WILDLY GRATUITOUS, SELF-INDULGENT FIC WITH NO MARKET. I finished rereading Vargas and Edgar/Scriabin is all I can think about. I just really need Edgar to have fraught, possibly violent makeouts with the voice in his head.

So I've given in to temptation and written fanfiction pairing a minor character from a comic I've never read ( Read more... )

Look, self, I know you've been feeling a bit fandomless lately and, don't get me wrong, I'm glad you're becoming enthusiastic about something. But did it really have to be Final Fantasy XV? It's for a console you don't own. It isn't even out yet. The release date hasn't even been announced. We've been waiting for a release date to be announced for ( Read more... )

E3 this year introduced a fairly lengthy gameplay trailer for The Last of Us, Naughty Dog's upcoming post-apocalyptic game. It looks amazing, but so violent. I'm really hoping Naughty Dog include an option to tone it down slightly, make combat a bit less brutal somehow, for the benefit of, er, massive wimps like me who want to play a nice non- ( Read more... )

Have you heard the chocobo theme from Final Fantasy XIII-2?

Listen to it. I'd say 'you won't regret it', but I can't guarantee that. It is literally incredible. I laughed until I cried. IF YOU THINK YOU'RE GONNA HIDE, THERE'S CHOCOBO.

(A 'chocobo', if you're unfamiliar with the concept, is a large yellow bird that can be ridden. Here is an ( Read more... )

Single best sentence in the written records I keep of my dreams: Dreamt that Boris Johnson kneed me in the stomach. How do I not remember this?

I don't own a PSP, so I haven't played either of the Dissidia Final Fantasy fighting games. However, because I am very interested by the prospect of characters from different Final Fantasy games ( Read more... )

And still more Final Fantasy XIII!

( Final Fantasy XIII, Chapter Eleven (and the opening of Chapter Twelve). )

Okay. Here's what happened.

- The Left 4 Dead zombie apocalypse games were released.
- zarla and jazaaboo created some AU female versions of Left 4 Dead zombies.
- zarla and jazaaboo created an AU of the above AU in which the ladies did not in fact become zombies and instead had to fight their way through the zombie apocalypse ( Read more... )

I SAY THINGS AND THEN THEY COME TRUE. I SAY THINGS AND THEN THEY COME TRUE. I SAID ON FRIDAY THAT I WANTED VICTORIA COREN TO BE AT THE WOULD I LIE TO YOU? RECORDING AND SHE WAS. I SAID IN MY WRITEUP OF SAID RECORDING YESTERDAY THAT I WANTED DAVID MITCHELL AND VICTORIA COREN TO GET MARRIED AND TODAY THE TELEGRAPH ANNOUNCES THAT THEY ARE DATINGWhen ( Read more... )

Here is one of the more surreal things the Internet has spawned: a clip from Peep Show with a piece of music from Silent Hill 2 laid over it, making it deeply sinister. The ending in particular screws with my head.

And now more notes on Final Fantasy XIII!

( Spoilers up to the first time you meet Cid. )

A question to those who've played Final Fantasy XIII: as I don't have a console that can play that game and can't see myself acquiring one in the near future, I'm thinking about watching a playthrough on YouTube. Like a film! A really, really long film. Would this be a really bad idea ( Read more... )
