About Me
Just a lowly college student. Once it's financially viable, I'm aiming to live in a mild city in the north, where us gay folk aren't quite viewed as second-class citizens. I wonder if I'll make good on the often toothless threat to move to Canada..?

I'm always on the lookout for the next game with a good story, where something as mechanically flawed and genuinely touching as NIER can stay with me a lot longer than an airtight, super blockbuster with less "heart" would. I enjoy the artsy-fartsy things in life and keeping an eye on the 24-hour news cycle. Planning on getting an honest, white-collar job, and raising a family sometime.

Test Blog - Final Fantasy XIII

Final Fantasy XIII can go die in a fire, but then it would probably wax poetic about how the fire is somehow a metaphor for standing on your own two feet. Without a sense of self-awareness or irony. For 50 hours.

Because the main character's parents died (how?) she took on the nickname "Lightning" to be stronger. Where. Is. The. Logic. A nickname? She wasn't exactly becoming a masked hero (which would have been truly novel if their parents' parents death were at the hands of some Batman-esque catalyst), but essentially a fluorescent-lit police officer. With gravity-manipulating fingersnaps full of sass, which is apparently standard equipment in this technicolor headache of a game world.

What person would adopt an alias if they were not only not on the run to begin with, but also keeping established contract with family and work as well? I don't go to work and hear that Howard from Sales is now to be called "Stone" because his cat went missing.
