That's an exception that needs to be made. Sure, it was mountains of text but there was a lot of stuff going on. Running away from explosions, flying away from explosions, getting existential with explosions in the back ground. And it was only maybe twenty minutes.

Fire Emblem for the Gamecube on the other hand...we are talking a solid hour of people talking to each other about how great it is to have won the war but should we have won the war and oh no, we won the war because of you not me and okay maybe me if you insist but really it was just all of us winning the war and now lets pan away for a picture of people building a freaking wall on the edge of the city and then talk about how great it is that the city is being rebuilt and but oh, don't you think it's likely that we'll have to fight again and oh, look at the time, let's talk more about who won the war and how of the winning of the warring people and build a damn wall.

Maybe now Nintendo will acknowledge Metroid has a fanbase?

I think you're probably getting mixed up. Path of Radiance is considered pretty easy. It's the direct Wii sequel, Radiant Dawn, that is the real toughie.

8) -

:? - The local Kia dealer is trying to get out of fixing the stuff they broke and scratched up in my car (dashboard, radio assembly) after tightening up the AC controls. Not to mention checking out the car somehow almost stalling when I shift into first gear. This is all under warranty and shouldn't be costing them anything that won't be repaid by Kia of America, yet they still make it a pain in the butt to deal with them.

:evil: Land lord ate one of my frozen pot pies.

It's okay really. She's always super nice and she fed me some delicious mashed potatoes the other day so I don't think I'll bring it up. I did however put a sticky note on my pot pies claiming them.

:) Got my English homework done so I can goof off and play Xenosaga and watch FMA: Brotherhood all night.

I'm just weird about joking with death at funerals and around people who are mourning, depending on the joke it can be extremely disrespectful. I joke about death a lot, but in those specific situations I know it can get quite touchy.

I'm also quite superstitious about death, the Irish coming through in me.

I'm playing Sacred Stones and I'm having some trouble with it, mostly just because I restart if someone dies. I'm completely leaning on Seth and Dussel though, now. Everyone else was useless after about Chapter 7.
