Holy shit, this game looks amazing. I love the female protagonist, and the futuristic vibe. EXACTLY what I've been looking for in an rpg., and was hoping to get out of a new Phantasy Star. Considering we're not even close to getting FFXII yet, though, this thing is is pretty damn far off. Plus, there is just no way I'm buying a PS3 at launch or anytime thereafter. When it hits 300 I'll pick one up.

I'm with ya CW. What the hell happened last night? First, I was dismayed by the bottom two. Then to have Chris voted out? What the hell is WRONG with this country?!
As much as I like Catharine, I would rather have her go than Chris. I'm not sure I'd care to watch the show much anymore.
bummer.

DQVIII - Damn clock is around 71 hours now. I played through the dragon graveyard last night, and just checked gamefaqs to find out where the hell I was supposed to go after that. I'm figuring I'll be halfway through this game by 2035 or so.

Dragon Quest VIII - Just finished up the Herb Grotto. Seems I need to find some bird to get me where I need to go. I may do a bit of treasure hunting first, as I now have the Ultimate key.
What is the deal with money is this game? I wasn't able to buy a single damn new thing in that Ortusk(sp?) town due to my severe lack of fundage. You'd think some playtesters would have called out the designers on this, right? Or do people LIKE having no money and not being able to purchase new stuff? Stupid.

Watched War of the Worlds last night. I actually really enjoyed the first half or so. Then came Tim Robbins to ruin everything. Then came the sucky ending.

DQ VIII - It only took 60 hours for the damn scenery to change. Snow! Yeah!

Multi-heal is the shiz. Took too damn long to get it, though.

While I'm not the one playing it, I'm not at all impressed with KHII so far. I'm interested in the overall story, but the levels and such have been boring as hell. Just seems like a rehash of part I to me. I'd like to see more NEW levels as opposed to revisting all the old ones. Nan is back in Hollow bastion after going through Twilight town.

As for DQVIII - This game should be over.
WAY too much padding to this game. I am now set to do Rydons tower. At least the place looks different.
Money is too hard to come by in this game.

Honestly, I've never heard a Queen song I didn't hate, so last night would have been torture whether the performances were good or not. I wish they would have picked a different band for their "rock" night. ugh.

The only one that stood out for me last night was Katherine. Then again, she stands out whether she's singing or not. She was great.
I like Chris, but it sounded like every other song of his. While I like most everything he does, his slower songs have been the best. I like what he sang last week and Walk the line the best of all his performances.
I HATE that crazy thing called love song, but Taylor still did his thing well. He is going to win the competition.
I was baffled by Kellie and Paris. Did they have to do the look, too? Odd.
Never like Elliot. Didn't like him last night.
Missed Buckys song, but I still agree it is time for him to go.
I agree with you on the bottom three.

While I understand the work that goes into something like this, I don't understand the reactions to it. Just looks like picture to me. I could have grabbed my camera, drove up to this spot and taken a picture.
Why digitaly duplicate something like this? Just to challenge yourself? See how good you are at creating digital "art"? Kind've a dull picture to me. Don't see too many people wanting to buy a print. To each his own, I guess.

I am now in the Dark Ruins in DQVIII. Monsters seem tough, so I may level up a tad.

Nan is well into KHII. She played through the Steamboat Willy level yesterday.
She still hates the Gummi levels, although I think they look kinda fun.

I've been reading Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman. Kind of an odd book. It's gotten a little better now that this Hunter chick has shown up. Not as good as I was hoping, at least fo far. Maybe it'll pickup.

Watched Chronicles of Narnia last night. It was entertaining, but not as good as I had hoped. It felt rushed, like they need another hour or something. I never really cared about any of the characters. The whole Aslan thing was meaningless. Even the battle didn't do much for me.
What did I like? The beavers were cool. Loved the accent. Reminded me of Yangus from DQVIII.
The kids were great, from an acting standpoint.
The queen was perfectly evil.
The look of the film was well done.
Yet, for some reason, when it all came together, it just didn't work for me.
Not bad, just "eh".

Like there was ever any doubt as to otherwise.
This falls under "common sense", along with all other associated issues.
Duh, people.

I am always willing to give my opinion on music.
Listening to this stuff made me feel like I was transported back to the age of the SNES and Genesis. I like it, but it's honestly not good enough for me to buy. Then again, I am VERY picky about what I listen to, and even more about what I buy.
Binary Funk sounds like something out of Phantasy Star II.
Considering the sorry state of affairs when it comes to in-game music nowadays, I would gladly take this more old school stuff in its place.
