Old School:
Where It's At:
Boo-ya!
Intellectual!
Dessert.
Think Pink!
Chatty!
Nerds!
"Have yourself a merry little Christmas,
Let your heart be light
From now on,
our troubles will be out of sight
Have yourself a merry little Christmas,
Make the Yule-tide gay,
From now on,
our troubles will be miles away.
Here were are as in olden days,
happy golden days of yore.
Faithful friends who are dear to us
gather near to us once more.
Through the years we all will be together
If the Fates allow
Hang a shining star upon the highest bough.
And have yourself a merry little Christmas now."
Because I love all of you demo-hunters so very much.
Merry Christmas, Charlie Brown!

No.
Say it ain't so.
FFX? Already? I haven't even seen the movie yet.

Good Grief!
I'm STILL wrong about where I was. I'm past Esto Gazo, and I think I'm supposed to be in Daguerreo, but I got sidetracked by the games and sidequests in Fallen Alexandria. I need to finish them before disc 4. Yeah, that sounds right. (I hope) Looks like I might actually finish this one, but don't count on it. If I have to do any serious levelling up, outside of catching frogs for that Quina (forgot what I named her), you can just forget about me finishing. That's why I had to quit Breath of Fire III.
I did, however, finish Suikoden, but that's only because the levelling is built in, and the end snuck up on me.

You wouldn't believe how some people find me. They soon run away after they do, but that's not because I'm frightening, it's because I'm not what they had in mind.
Well, helpful soul that I am, any of you that surfed in here with a question in your search engine will get an answer EVENTUALLY.
I don't do cracks. Okay, I think that cracks are better left to people who know how to use them and how to find them. I don't respect anyone else. I'm not going to get on a soapbox, telling you that you should buy your entertainment. The truth is that while the average gamer has about 7 games on their shelf, a crackwarez monster buys about 7 a month. I sure wish that I got a warez version of Pools of Radience before I purchased that stink burger. My point is that I feel sincerely lied to by the gaming industry. Hey, the VCR and DVD manufacturers figured out that a lower price got more people BUYING; it's time for the gaming industry to wake up, too.
If you're considering it, DON'T. Get electroshock therapy instead. It's way more fun.
On to the questions:
How to get past the desert in Legend of Dragoon? You're asking the wrong person on how to get past a thing. You should know I don't finish games. However, the answer to your question is @ here. Enjoy.
Inspired Sims Creations? Man, what a hard one. You're going to have to dig around and see what you like for yourself. Two or three sites stand out immediately:
Here
Here
and here.
I'll try to find the evil Sims items and the glass house stuff soon.
Free Sims tip. Try making SimArt with pictures of your Sim in death. You know you have those. Fun to decorate with, and a reminder to the living.
Bless the soul of whoever searched for "funky monkey."
I was wrong about where I was on FFIX. See, the PS2 wasn't reading the memory card I had, which worked just dandy in the PSone. I think a game was corrupted, or something. I had to go to my sister's, reclaim the PSone, and copy some of the files to a card that I hoped the PS2 would recognize.
I'm past the Desert Castle (Hope that I remembered to grab that card!), and in Esto Gazo. I stopped (I remember now) because I wasn't getting the moogle letter I was supposed to get. Now, I think that if you reach MogNet Central, and start THAT quest, the other letters stop. At least I hope so. Anyway, that's where I am.
A dear friend wrote to me and ...(yes, I have friends) told me that HE was at the Memoria, which is the end game.
Well...um, so what. Yeah, so what. I've played about 15 hours of chocobo hot and cold. Ha! And, and, I've got that stupid Athlete Queen thing. Oh, and I can't stand the jumprope bit.
I really hate that they put HALF the flippin' hintbook online. In five years, who knows where that site will be, and what would I have then? I spent a good twenty minutes backing it up, so HA!
Now to sneak it to school and print it with their laser printers.

I've got little presents for you, just in time for Yule!
Hero's Quest over? Not yet. It's 65% complete. Wonder if they'll let me proofread?
So you THOUGHT you were a Hero? Somewhere between Moldavia and Silmaria, a Hero retraced his roots to clean up the mess he left behind. Addictive as crack.
Speaking of crack, you should see some of the ways people find me. Mention crack and a video game, and you'll drive your hit count crazy. Of course, they don't stay very long....

Guess what I can't remember.
How to play Final Fantasy IX. Darn. Been away from it too long.
I swear, one day I will MAKE the time to go through that wretched castle in the desert. It was so grueling, though.
My sister and I are playing Quest for Glory IV: Shadows of Darkness, and I can't believe how much we are enjoying it. I'm barking out orders from the "hint" guide I downloaded, and she asked me if we REALLY had to stick to the itinerary. That really threw me for an unexpected loop. I was really concentrating on getting to something new in a hurry, and I thought she wanted that, too.
If you've ever played this game, you'd know how buggy it was. Some speculate that the bugginess of this game killed the series. She got hip-deep into the game, only to get trapped in an eternal loop in the middle of day 15 or 17, and the patch would not convert your save games. You had to begin again, all over. That kills your thirst for a game.
Anyway, she was really enjoying my jokes about the game, and the feeling we got from playing together, I guess. I had to make her run from a wyvern. Silly goose swears she could have killed it. The vorpal bunnies just irritated her until I sang the "Kill the Wabbit" song (not the one YOU know) from Vitae Rising. Wonderful and unexpected fun. It was almost as much fun as playing Escape from Monkey Island, when we clicked on the bedroom door and heard Dom say, "It's the door to our bedroom, aaaawwww yeaaaahhhh."
We must have clicked that door 80 times.
