Sleepyhead was the superior song. I've always been meaning to check out Passion Pit, just forget to. Maybe this will prompt me to do so later today.

That does indeed seem interesting. I'll have to keep my eye on it.

Oh, PC only? Consider me significantly less excited.

I can get down with the Calm Lands. It's got some nice history behind it. Also, you reach there after Yuna comes to the startling realization that everything she has known about Yevon to this point was a lie, yet she still chooses to press on for Spira after coming this close to just giving up. "Yuna's Decision" is an underrated piece of music in the game. I almost liken it to Gran Pulse in FFXIII (though admittedly I don't have TOO much knowledge on the game) in that it finally feels like you have control over everything. You have redefined your mission and marks a new beginning.

I know I know, but I've always seen it as more of an exposition moment. It's explaining the world, and The Sending is just a standard ritual that happens when people die and that this time it was just in a mass scale. At this point, the idea of a Sending doesn't hold as much weight to me. When Operation Mi'ihen happens, then yeah, The Sending begins to define the game. I think the FMV is pretty great, though. Or maybe it's because one of my Top 5 moments of the game comes right before it, so I'm just still hung up on that. I guess other people put a lot more weight on it as a defining moment where I have yet to do so at this point in the game.

Obtaining Yojimbo and Yuna performs The Sending are probably the only moments whose survival I don't really understand. All the others, regardless of my feelings on them, I can at least see an argument for why they are so beloved.

So I'm kind of confused as to why people don't like Yuna's Sphere as much as other moments. It's a really sweet, unexpected moment that really puts a lot of the pilgrammage into perspective by giving us a good look into what was going through Yuna's head near the beginning while we were prancing around carefree saying "Let's beat Sin Let's beat Sin la la la"

Buffy - Season 5, Episode 15: I Was Made to Love You

BUFFY'S MOM IS (PROBABLY) DEAD WUTWUTWUT!? SPIKE IS MAKING A BUFFY ROBOT WUTWUTWUT!? What the hell is going on with all this stuff? This episode also made a big dead to show the significant others of people who were talking. It was odd. And what is the deal with Glory/Ben. So confusing. Oh, there was that deal with the robot. It was whatever.

Uhh so yeah some **** went down recently, and it lead to me watching a lot of episodes in a very short time.

So yeah. It was all enjoyable, of course, but I don't really have anything prepared. I'm now on Episode 15 of each series.

Stuff stuff...

Umm, I really like the singing demon guy from Angel. Keep him around. He's entertaining.
It's also fun seeing Wesley, Cordelia, and Gunn run around with their own agency and finding success. Seeing their joy is ^_^. But seeing Cordelia tell Angel to get away from a hurt Wesley and Angel actually doing it is very v_v.
Angel allowing Holland Manners and all of the other W&H lawyers save Lindsay and Lilah get feasted on was whoamgwut?

There's been a lot of Spike focus on Buffy. Yay, but it seems weird how naturally Spike has become a "good" guy. I did like Dawn's explanation of "soul/chip same thing" as maybe the conditioning of the chip would eventually word. Who knows.
Ben and Glory are related whoamg and she can go to where ever Ben is fast whoamg whoamg. Oh yeah, she's a god wutwutwut.
Dawn standing with a knife: "This is blood, right" WUTWUTWUT
Spike's tirade against Buffy and Drusilla was a great *****es be crazy moment. Preach it, Spike.
Buffy has power. Great scene.

Yeah, that's about it for now.

Three saves at 30, four at 25, six at 20, eight at 10, ten at Top 5, fifteen at last two.

I don't really know how save mys get near the end, but these are the numbers I was playing with in my head.

Zazi is posting from his cellular telephone

Change of plans. I won't be able to make the next topic. Anyone else can make the next one if they don't feel like waiting until tomorrow morning. Leave it at two saves, but I'll keep a closer eye on voting patterns and the like if people are still worried.

I'll make the topic after I get some input on Genny's rule change suggestion. I was thinking about doing three per save at 30, but I wouldn't be opposed to doing it five rounds earlier.

Buffy - Season 5, Episode 11: Triangle

Oh hey so there's a troll and he beats stuff with a hammer. It's a humor episode that also fleshes out a little more of the Xander/Anya relationship, which is nice. Keep them going strong. Also it's good that Buffy is more "humorous" sad than "oh god woe is me I'm going to spend all episode crying" sad. Get her over it soon and let's move on. Oh yeah, Dawn has an idea now AND I TOTALLY DIDN'T EXPECT HER TO FIND OUT BY OVERHEARING IT! Okay that's a lie, because that's exactly what I expected.

From: The Mana Sword | #471
hey so if you make a character with the "starter version" and the purchase the full version afterwards, I assume you can carry that character over, right?

I gave one of my roommates the guest pass, and it prompted him to buy the game. However, I think he said it reset his quests, though he was still the same level with the same gear. I can't remember the specifics, but he told me he had to run through to the Skeleton King again. It could've just been a glitch or something on his end.

Xander was pretty ace, yeah. I love moments where Buffy is being called out, because she is such a model of independence at times, and can just be a straight up ***** when she has her mind set to something.

Oh, I also enjoyed Riley and Spike tossing the bottle of drank around. Just two guys who can't get what they want because *****es be crazy.

From: SirBinro | #005
The endings of both those eps are just wow. I love this show.

Yeah. Thus far, I've enjoyed this season of Angel more than this season of Buffy. Obviously with half the season left, that could easily change, and I kind of expect it to based on the popular opinions of each season, but either way I'm enjoying both immensely.

Buffy - Season 5, Episode 10: Into the Woods

Well then. Riley's exit from the show could've gone better. Well, I mean, it was written and executed wonderfully, but it was sadface. Buffy is a ***** and probably deserved that, though. It was cool seeing Xander being the voice of reason. He really got to shine there, especially when he told Anya how much he loved her afterwards. Good to see them still running strong. Hopefully they don't dwell on Riley's exit for too long. Love lost Buffy is probably the worst Buffy.

Angel - Season 2, Episode 10: Reunion

Angel is becoming a bad dude and he fired everyone so that he could embrace darkness and the like. Wolfram and Hart is gone, and that is not how I expected it to go down. Gee wilickers.

Now with less writing and organization and more instant reactions. For example, I just watched

Angel - Season 2, Episode 9: The Trial

HOLY BALLS ANGEL DID ALL THAT STUFF, HAD DARLA COMING TO TERMS WITH HER SECOND CHANCE IN A WONDERFULLY DONE SCENE, AND THEN WHAM BAM IT'S DRUSILLA MAKING DARLA A VAMPIRE AGAIN AHHHHH WHAAAAAAAT!?

I loved it. Best episode of Season 2 so far. The trial butler guy was pretty awesome too, but dat ending.

So yeah, that's how it's going to be from now on. No more laboring over writeups. I'm just going to say incomprehensible **** so that I don't get hung up on writing my thoughts down in a coherent manner. And I may not even say anything about episodes at all. But dammit, I want to share my experiences with others, and I find that people will probably get joy out of seeing the reactions above.

Also...I can kill you with my brain.

This game is fun, it just kind of sucks for me because there is a one second lag for all my actions, and it's hard to target enemies because of it. I think it's because my graphics card doesn't quite fit the requirements for the game. It also causes my laptop to overheat after extended playing.
