FF8: Fun At Squall's Expense
Apr. 13th, 2006 11:37 pmSo, instead of playing one of the many other games I've got half finished at the moment, I got really bored yesterday, and decided to pick up FF8, which I hadn't touched in months. And...I actually managed to get somewhere. And become somewhat emotionally involved in the game, even if said involvement is mostly mocking/yelling at the characters. I don't pretend to understand the plot, really. But yeah, kinda sucks to be Squall - he gets stuck dealing with all the idiots, it seems. His face-in-hands 'Oh god why me' moment made me totally crack up. And Irvine is officially the Gay Cowboy, because Brokeback Mountain jokes will never get old. Ever.
I also realized this morning that the one character I RP the most is one of the ones who doesn't worm his way into the back of my head and pick up backstory and strange quirks. This is probably because he has canon backstory, and I actually have a consistent partner-in-crime, unlike all of my other endeavors (Touya to Jesse's Yuki. They are all domestic and almost painfully sweet. Mmmfluff).
And apparently I'm not totally screwed on my senior project - had my last meeting with my advisor, who's notorious for being a hardass about these projects, and he was impressed - the phrase 'Oh, wow...' was used a lot, along with 'I'm proud of you' and 'your logbook is incredibly detailed'. No, I don't know how it happened either.
More to come later, including another Isaac/Raphael conversation, that Ada/Leon fic I've been talking about for weeks now, and possibly strange Asher introspection. And photos. But not right now, because I am really weirdly tired this week.
