At least <i>this</i> time I uploaded my ElJay entries so that I don't get stuck in an archiving mire like I am at IJ. (Uh, yeah... about posting what I've got of Benefit-verse using in-fic chronological order...)<br /><br />Hrm... now to have a point to use the Ashe icon... Well, first is Yahtzee's <a href="http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/view/zero-punctuation/800-The-Sims-3">fail of a review for <i>The Sims 3</i></a>. The whole "Dude, not funny" feel of the review was of course magnified in the forums. Conversations about the fail <a href="http://halcyonjazz.livejournal.com/281993.html">here</a> and <a href="http://community.livejournal.com/intelligamers/7766.html">here</a>. This business hits close to home because I used to be (and have my moments of being) one of those types that derided the "casual gamer" in order to bolster my own old school cred. (Of course, being a [female] fan of the Final Fantasy series means that I'm about half a step above the casual gamer in the hierarchy. <i>Is</i> there a gamer hierarchy? You know, like <a href="http://www.brunching.com/geekhierarchy.html">The Geek Hierarchy</a> the Brunching Shuttlecocks made. Whoo, tangent.) This also sort of stinks of "I am better than other girls, because I can do <i>this</i> guy thing!" which is not cool. Remedial feminism is remedial.<br /><br />In <i>actual</i> gaming news, I finished Tierkreis and have started Final Fantasy.

(Answer: adorable, but of course) To remain vauge, yet ranty: it's really great that you've finally decided to have a female Tenkai, Konami. Next time, how about we make her something more than an NPC? Also, I want a Nimni plushie. His armor would be insane, though. I still have a lot of white fleece, so maybe a Neira is in the future?<br /><br />Now, for Final Fantasy. It's going a lot faster than I thought it would, mostly because I got my plot background from 8-Bit Theater and it took a while for the strip to do the first five minutes of the game. (I still think "stabbity" whenever my black mage has a knife/dagger.) Names: Namae, Nom, Elia, and Nombre. One of these names is not like the others...<br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=chofi&ditemid=92706" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments
