Stupid package must've arrived yesterday after I left, 'cause it was here when I checked tonight, so I just sent it home w/ Girl, since there were Grab-Its she needed, & the games will end up there anyway. Damnit! I could've been playing R&C4 yesterday! -_-; oh well- I really should finish replaying 3 first so I can get all the music from it.. ( Read more... )

Had the aforementioned trips to Tokyo Disney & Hakone (which had a plethora of Engrish pic opportunities), then hit the Wasedasai. Never did fix the sleeping thing.

Finally ended up going to another WAFL meeting after missing several, & got all my cleanups... finished all the stills & turned 'em back in, prompting more 速〜い！'s, & have a few ( Read more... )

Hoooly shit, this has got to be one of the funniest things I've ever seen: a parody of Americans living in Japan, "played" by voice-overed MANNEQUINS. Watched a couple clips in the Comparative Culture Class (topic: occidentalism). Must. Find. More. Except I really don't feel like spending $50 for a single freakin' DVD, esp. when there's like ( Read more... )

Teller 1: "Checking & Savings department..."
Me: "Hi, I'm going to be in Japan for a year, and my check card & credit card are both going to expire while I'm there. Could I get new ones with a later expiration date sent to me before I leave?"
T1: "Sure, no problem. We'll just mark your current card as damaged & send a replacement out, and your ( Read more... )

FINALLY beat FFX last night. Got the King Cactuar AP trick to work (after fighting the stupid Ultima Buster enough times to get a couple more Triple Overdrive / Overdrive -> AP ( / Triple AP) weapons for everyone, and enough of whatever it was to just add to other people's shit via customize, since I got the same extra crap nearly every time, and ( Read more... )

GAH that gets irritating after the, oh, I dunno, FIRST time... Not to mention he says it every single goram time you go anywhere, regardless of whether you are, in fact, going to fight Sin or not ( Read more... )

(I just realized I never used that quote (from R&C3), so, there it is. It's supposed to start with "Welcome to Zeldrin Airport", but apparently that was too long, & it truncated. Bastards ( Read more... )

Finished Jak & Daxter tonight. Boy, was that short. Actually, I was missing 2 scout flies & 1 'hidden power cell' (had all 2000 easter eggs precursor orbs), so after the credits (which listed fucking Dee Snider (as in Twisted Sister) as the voice of Gol (main bad guy).. which is almost as amusing as Armin Shimerman (aka Quark / Buffy's principal ( Read more... )

Went to see House of Flying Daggers on Friday, & stopped in the Playstation store before, since we still had an extra hour after eating & wasting time at the Apple store (I really need a laptop...). Saw Jak & Daxter 1, which I haven't seen anywhere else (probably since it's so old), and since it was only $20, Girl got it for me. I'd been meaning ( Read more... )
