Well, I meet 1/4 of the requirements. Not nearly enough to think Gunblades are a good idea, though...

Dem -- ... don't go there... <_<

Are you referring to the terrible second half of FF8?

"Hey we're all from the same orphanage? Even the ones with parents? Nifty! Oh and look, the head of our mercenary universoty and the crazy sorceress that we fought at the begining were the couple that ran the place! Oh, and the crazy sorceress is good, she was just being possessed by a sorceress from the future, who happens to be the ultimate villan we have to go defeat. Oh and Squall your dad (I think this is his identity, my memory mnight be off on this part, probably a different character but I know hes someones dad) is president of a country that is easially a hundred years more advanced than the rest of the world. Also we need to send you to outer space to develop the love story for plot."

It wasn't too bad, y'know, when Edea was the villain.

It wasn't BAD, per se, just not exactly stellar.

Once again, you say that like the other FF plots were really great.

Maybe if we had characters, it would've been better. FF8 was the pinnacle of "interchangeable robots". Not only was everyone exactly the same in battle, but outside of battle, they had the personalities of robots.

Never said that, did I?
Its just that other than 8, 10+, and 7, they were at worst humorously silly or mediocre. At best great. 8 was at best mediocre and at worst DUMB.

I liked 9...

But then I've only played it and 6. But 9 was a fun game. I think people took it too seriously.

What I've seen of 10 (reasonably far in, and I know most of the important bits of plot), was pretty good. It was the love story that made me gag. And I want to smack the people who praise it as the best love story evar.

I'll admit the tiral version WoW is shit compared to actually playing the game. What you don't seem to understand is that overall the PvE in the game is absoloutely amazing. A friend of mine rotates through DAoC, FF11, and WoW, his complaint of WoW was "The PvE is amazing, but I don't want to grind for hundreds of hours getting gear and having no decent PvP to use it in." I'll be the first one to admit Blizz should've waited at least another 6 months to get the game out, if not another year entirely. Yes the game still has issues, but they are getting better. Most the people bitching about not enough end game content play it a ridiculous amount. Personally, I probably should've roll;ed on a PvE or RP server when the game came out, but I like my character, and I ike some of the people on the server, so I'll keep playing on a PvP server because I ahve things keeping me there. But I'm not going to play on it exclusively or anything. Personally I find I can lose whole days in the game doing regular PvE, instanced PvE, or BG PvP.


What I don't understand? I fail to understand it's amazing? So, somehow the concept of why it was fun was lost on me? Maybe my sense of fun is broken! I'll get a repairman on that! It couldn't be that I know what is and isn't fun, and I found it severely lacking! Of course not!

Maybe I didn't understand how to do it? Well, I hit 20, I had to know SOMETHING about how to do it! How hard is "Push the buttons until the bad people fall down"? I could train monkies to play WoW for me! That would be more fun then the game itself!

Maybe somehow the concept of a game confused me? I just couldn't work it! I have to input commands? This is bullshit, I want a non-interactive movie! It couldn't be the fact that I've played my fair share of MMO games; Ultima Online, Anarchy Online, City of Heroes, and World of Warcraft itself, and a host of non-MMOGs and have decided that WoW just didn't match up! Impossible! Ridiculous!

Maybe it's the computer itself that I failed to understand! What the... Why, I wasn't playing WoW at all, it turns out I stuck in the Barbie Pony Adventure CD and thought it was WoW! I wondered how I got a Mount so soon! They all look the same to me, this whole Compooter and In-ter-nets thing is so baffeling! It's not like I've been using electronics for most of my life or something!

So wait, I understand every step of the process, and STILL didn't find it fun?! I'm a god damn anomaly is what I am! Someone call the scientists, I'm the friggin' missing link! I'm looking forward to being on the cover of Time magazine!

I've done better. But I'm so tired, I've passed from sane to insane to practically lucid with sheer sleep deprivation induced madness.

EDIT: That doesn't change my opinion, it just means I'm probably not at top form.

It's not that I physically cannot sleep, it's exhaustion caused from the length of poor sleep. For the past week+, I've been unable to get a solid night's sleep due to a variety of interruptions, pretty much all of them very important. I've been getting on average 2-3 hours of sleep a night due to the previous sleep schedule I had and not being able to adapt it to my new schedule, and it's beginning to take it's toll in a big way.

Just... Have to... Keep... From snapping...
