Final Fantasy
May. 18th, 2002 10:24 amI always do this. I'm meeting Alison and Yvonne today. Aimed to be at Paddington for 11ish but my paranoia about lateness kicked in at here I was at 10am.
But there's a branch of Electronics Boutique here and after browsing for a while I stumbled across the newly re-released Final Fantasy 4&5. The shop assistant was quite surprised. He automatically assumed it was one of the 'pre-order FFX' boxes from the shelf and started to tell me he couldn't give it to me right now, then did a double take, cut himself short and asked 'Hey, when did this come out?'
I am starting to think maybe I should find time to play these games I'm collecting. Wish I could get away with THAT at work! Question is do I buy FFX on Friday or just wait...?

Feeling Good
May. 10th, 2002 01:33 pmI posted earlier in some comments section somewhere about how I figured eating just half my pizza and using the Playstation dancemat constitute something approaching a healthy lifestyle. But actually, the only thing I did yesterday that is out of the ordinary is use the dancemat (sorry, I can't bring myself to call it a Rave Station) and Jungle Book Groove Party and today I'm feeling all energised and cheery. This is good. So tonight I will beat Baloo. I might even move up beyond "normal" level. I've been out and bought a PS1 memory card since the PS2 one I already own isn't happy to save from a PS1 game. Oversight on Sony's part or deliberate ploy to make people buy more peripherals? Hmm...
I'm a marketing department's dream. I bought Gavin's Gameboy Advance system off him and it should arrive tomorrow. I decided I wanted an extra game to go with it and wandered into WH Smiths. Where they had an offer on all the Gameboy games. Buy two, get one free. So I did. Gah!
I got Columns Crown, Golden Sun and (wait for it) Scrabble! Ha! I shall become invincible, I have no need of you puny human opponents!

Inspired by the frequent bouts of Literati with
ang_grrr and
ajr I went out and bought Scrabble Deluxe today. It's lovely. And I can say as much without even having unwrapped it as yet.
Why haven't I unwrapped it? Because I've been busy playing another game - Buffy. And boy, is it complicated. I think by the end of it Raz and I had wrapped our heads around what we were meant to be doing and we could probably manage to get through a whole game again without having to consult the instructions. But maybe not.
