For those who are unaware, I haven't been actively on AIM much because of my recent purchase of "Lost Odyssey" for the 360. The gameplay and the story are pretty good, Jansen is hilarious (see: "I'm good in bed!"), and Kaim's grandchildren are fairly cool for kids. Now...what makes this game absolutely the best I've played in a while? The 'Thousand Years of Memories' stories. Not only are they good, short reads, but they have given me a handful of new life perspectives. For that, I'm thankful and partially amazed. Video games today, I tell ya'...
Though, nearing the end of the game, I find myself growing a little depressed/lonely. This is a theme I've come to half expect when I get a new, good game. When I'm close to beating it, the real world that I've been able to ignore for a few days crashes in from all sides and just...bleh. Oh well. Maybe I can start a trend of 'What would Kaim do in this position?' thoughts...
I know that sounds a lot like 'What would Jesus do?', but I have an easier time relating to the mindset and stories of someone basically human than someone who was a human avatar for an omnipotent deity. No disrespect, J-man, it's how it is.
Anywho...I'm going to try and write in this more. Maybe I'll feel better.
