How FFXV destroyed my feels

Image
Holy shit did this game destroy me. And I mean that in an emotional way. People will probably think this is hilarious but I was seriously in a catatonic state after completing this game for maybe... a week? I know I was depressed about it for at least 2 weeks.. I finished FFXV on Christmas so uhm.. I was in a sorry state that day. Thanks Tabata you sick bastard! I shall now remember you as the director that kills my dreams of a happy ending. Final Fantasy XV holds a special place in my heart, mostly because of how it's kind of symbolic for me. When I first saw previews of this game, I was just recently out of high school and starting college. When I finally got to play this, I had just graduated from nursing school after a long journey of figuring out what I really wanted to do with my life. Somehow I just happened to obtain this game merely a week after graduating. I'm so obsessed with FFXV! I've been playing it almost everyday ( after I got over my depressio...

Random thoughts

1. When you see people driving in cars, do you ever make judgments about them based on what kind of car they're driving?  Like, "oh, a middle aged man driving a van...  He probably has kids." or "old man driving a BMW. That must be his retirement car." 2. I've gotten really into smartphone otome games.  It makes me feel like I'm using my imagination again. If anyone judges, I say, "At least I'm not playing candycrush all day." 3. Some wise lyrics from a 2pm kpop song: "Energy is the gift of youth, distress is the poison of youth." 4. It's amazing what perspective can do. It has the power to make old problems look like nothing. 5. Don't postpone happiness.  Be happy NOW.  Make the most of any situation you're in.  Make the most of life. 6. Do your best! You won't have regrets if you know you're giving it your all. 7. Don't worry so much about the future that you forget to live in the present...

Why does Lightning look so different in FFXIII Lightning Returns? [SPOILERS-!]

Image
I finally finished the game Lightning Returns recently and zomg, why does her face look so different?  I mean, she looks like she got plastic surgery. Before I begin, I'd like to point out that I am not criticizing the game in its entirety.  This is solely about the change in Lightning's hair and facial design.  The game play of Lightning Returns has nothing to do with this. :) I didn't really notice her face change until I beat the game and watched the ending CG animation scene.  (pic above is from the opening CG scene) I was a bit disappointed that the animators weren't consistent in her facial design, especially when it was so beautiful to begin with. Here's some compare/contrast pics I found. This one is of the CG animation for FFXIII, FFXIII-2, and FFXIII Lightning Returns. And here's the cutscene animation.  It's a bit more difficult to tell the difference in the cutscene animation unless you look closely. The hair...

What up buttercups? 8D

Hello, hello!  How is everyone doing?  I must be doing pretty well since I actually made a new post within a reasonable amount of time, lol. The last post was a insanely long one about why I think an anime couple should be together forever...  Sorry, it was obsessive, I know.  I just love that couple and if anyone else watches the anime, maybe you'll understand my feels.  xD A long cold front has hit us once again.  This has resulted in me and my dogs reverting to couch potatoes. One thing I'm happy about tho, is that I finally got my YesStyle package and it arrived before it snowed! I got 2 jackets, a beanie, and two leggings.  Initially I ordered 3 jackets but one was indefinitely out of stock.  D:  It's kind of disappointing since their website didn't even have a notice that they were out of stock..  Well, what can you do?... Below are the jackets I got delivered. Here's what the jackets look ...

Pokemon-Y: O-Powers and Earning Lots of Poke $$$

Image
In my opinion, O-Powers are VERY poorly explained in the game.  I hope this clears up a few things about O-Powers. ^^ O-Powers Can I say screw Mr. Bonding and his terrible explaining skills?  I did not understand O-Powers at all for almost my entire time of gameplay.  I always thought he was just this weird guy you would find in a hotel room and he would *ahem*, "bond" with you when the screen turned black.  I'd be left wondering what inappropriate things he was doing to me in the dark...  After bonding time, he would give me some kind of bonding power that I didn't know how to use. Back to the topic, O-Powers are found on the PSS (Player Search System) screen that's located on the bottom screen of the 3DS.  Simply toggle with the R or L buttons to get there. PSS screen Once there, click on the icon circled in red. This screen should pop up.  If not, click the arrow to the right to get to it.  Click the 'O-Power' icon. ...

This just made my day

Image
So you know how life goes, there are some days that will be amazing and some days not so much.  Today was a nice day, fairly pleasant with nothing too dramatic except towards the ending of my day where I happened to get one of 'those' people who ever so slightly, threw off my groove. But then I got home and got my two games in the mail~!!!  There were two packages on my desk and I was thinking that it might be makeup or some other item that I ordered online but they were my games.  \( "^ 0 ^" )/ It's one of those moments in life where your mood isn't all that great but then something happens that brightens up your day. I couldn't wait so I started up the Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance and watched the beautifully animated opening sequence.  The game itself is great fun and a treat to feast your eyes on.  I didn't think I would like playing the game in 3D but it's actually more engaging that way; I only use the 3D on low power though. ...

*~The early check off of my Christmas WISHLIST~*

This was supposed to be a post about my (consisting of mostly electronics) Christmas Wishlist but I'm changing it slightly since a lot of the stuff on the wishlist has already been bought, lol. I shall now tell you my story...  It all started on Black Friday .   I was so happy that Target decided to open earlier on that day because I had to work the next morning and this was actually my *FIRST TIME EVER* going o ut to get something on Black Friday !; I didn't really want my first experience of shopping on that day to be too traumatizing ....   ( ~ . ~ );; I was thinking that most people w ou ld be at Thanks giving parties at 9 pm but I was surprised to find that a lot of other people w ere actually waiting in line at Target possibly HOURS before I even got there at 8 pm !   I thought, " D ammit, don't these people have somewhere else to be ?! "   orz This was my miss ion:   1.) OBTAIN - PS3 ($199. 99) ... 2.) AND the Nintendo 3 DS ( $1...
