thistlechaserFunny how little things can improve your day. While pounding away at work, I had to call upon the help of one of our programmers. A nice oriental man. He came and sat down at my desk to look at something on my computer, and while standing behind him I noticed something. The anime hair-shine thing! (Edited to add: The hair-shine thingIt's real! He had normal, short hair, but all around his head was this... ring of shine! So I yelled "Eee! Eee! Look! You have anime-hair! Can I touch it? Please, please, please?"... okay, maybe I didn't say anything about it, but I sure did grin! (I always thought it was kind of silly to have a ring of lighter colored hair around a character's head. Who has hair that shines like that? Well, obviously, the Japanese! :P Silly me.)
And speaking of which, isn't he pretty? (Krad/"Light", from DNAngel.) At least here he looks somewhat less like a girl than he usually does...
I'm going to redo the style on my LJ tonight (or very soon). I may even give in and use the SS2 system, since I really want my icons to show on the front page.
I beat FFT:A last night. Yes, it took me forever! I played under an hour per day (mostly just before bed), so. 75 hours. I didn't level up on purpose, but I think I ended up doing a ton of it. I had 2-3 times the HP of most of the final bosses. Heh. I was very, very glad that you could still play more after the end -- I hadn't realized I was walking into the final battle until the game asked me 'Hey, would you like to save now?'. That question always means Doom is coming. If a game ever offers to save for you, never say no or you'll be sorry. (Ha, I'm speaking as if I were an experienced gamer! Hee.)
Anyway, I'm full of pizza and lots of anime is calling my name. Full Metal Alchemist I believe will be first up. Work still sucks, but I don't have to go back for many hours, so for now I will relax.
Have a good evening, everyone!

I'm glad things're looking up a bit. Taking time off is definitely a good thing and lord knows you of all people deserve it. Relax! ^^

Nah, it's okay. And thanks. I may be back tomorrow, but I'm not sure. Probably not during the work day at all (still going to be bad there), maybe in the evening. Donno yet.

Agreed, way cool. And I love how it deals with things that shouldn't be messed with by humans (unless you want to turn into a big hunking metal person).
Hi!
Date: 2003-12-04 12:52 pm (UTC)I hope you're getting lots of rest and having fun! Don't worry about the guests; I'm the only staffer online right now, but even though the current guest doesn't stand a chance in hell, he's a nice guy so I'm helping him out just fine. Don't expect to come back to the MUSH in flames and stuff... Oh wait, bad things only happen when you *are* there... >;)
I'm glad you beat FFT:A and seemed to enjoy it! Quite an impressive game, wasn't it? There's a little more to do now... I've gotten I think four characters whose names I won't reveal so I don't spoil anything? We'll compare the "special" guys we have soon... Maybe you'll have found something I didn't!
What were your favorite classes from each race? Mine:
Human: Ninja
Viera: Red Mage
Moogle: Mog Knight (Moogles suck!)
Nu Mou: Illusionist
Bangaa: Dragoon
Re: Hi!
Date: 2003-12-04 01:20 pm (UTC)There's still lots I want to do with FFT:A. I want my darned Blue Mages to learn more, as well as my Summoner (sp? Something like that) chick to get more spirit thingies to call forth and beat down with.
I don't really have any favorites, other than the Bangaa/Dragoon one. My human Ninja is weak, and everytime I put him into a fighting party, the others point at him and laugh, and then he cries. I don't know what to do with him.
Moogles suck!
Seconded. That one who we have to have, the one who starts with us, is the only one I have, and I don't really use him for much anymore.
I don't have any special people yet, but I've only had two battles since finishing, so I guess that's not surprising.
