THIS THIS THIS forever. Going out and educating myself on various aspects or references of a game is the story of my experience with games in the last few years. How many people went out and researched the Tarot story and Jungian psychology after playing Persona 3 and 4?

I've been watching Extra Credits, a weekly video commentary about games and "how they are made, what they mean and how we can make them better" thanks to

radio_aspen. It only takes about 7-8 minutes of your time a week to watch it, and it definitely gave me a new insight and appreciation for the games I love (and... don't quite love). I think the overall positive tone and the pride the series takes in pushing games as an artistic medium really makes me feel a greater sense of pleasure to be a part of this community that loves games. It is a mindset that I am wholly behind.

I was going to write a post on Birth By Sleep's Command system and how it makes spells useful, but I think I am going to play the flash games mentioned in Extra Credits' Games you might not have tried (or heard of) video (that I haven't already played) instead. p.s. I am so glee that some of the games I love made it on there! No points for guessing which.

I keep on realising when I've been impolite/brusque like, an hour after a conversation ends. i.e. long after I have the chance to correct myself. Dangit! Did better than I was expecting in my exams so I guess I will celebrate with Onion Knight tl;dr !

( Mostly regarding his background and what kind of world the FF3 world is. And then some RP things )

Also, a cool game design related article: http://www.leagueoflegends.com/board/showthread.php?t=293417

Oh. I apparently now have unlimited storage on photobucket. That's um. surprising!

I've been picking through the internet for Dissidia fanfiction, but good Dissidia fanfiction has been rather slim pickings, sadly. I did find something I couldn't help but laugh at, though:

I Never - "What is Cosmos to do when she inherits Jecht's hidden stash of booze? Start the drinking games, of course! An affectionate pastiche of the first ten Final Fantasy games."

( Anyway, Dissidia. Now talking a little bit less about gameplay and more about concepts )

( There's still some gameplay thoughts, though )

Quick, someone beat me in the face before my ego inflates any further!! /can handle criticism fine but praise makes a Ten explode??

Also, linked from

radio_aspen, possibly one of the coolest things I've seen recently.

I seem to be all creatived out, so I guess I'll take a break from writing and drawing for a while and work on things like presentations and exams 8( I did play some more FF7 after my piano exam (was alright, could've gone better but wasn't TOO bad. The piano keys were really stiff though sob) and I can't believe how little cash I'm running around with. I blame all the Fort Condor visits, but seriously I resorted to selling my Ethers for money! I don't remember ever having money troubles in a Final Fantasy game before! In fact, I was so short on cash I couldn't play any of the Wonder Square games (except Mog House) in the Gold Saucer after paying for single ticket. THAT WAS SO TRAGIC. TRAGIC I tell you! ; A;

I. I DON'T THINK I CAN GET OVER HOW FUNNY THIS GAME IS ASFGHJKJ;K even some of the instruction menus have character and humour.

I also swapped my Steal Materia from Red to Aeris and... I'm pretty sure steal is supposed to be based off dex (which I'm sure Red has more of than Aeris) yet Aeris is doing a much better job at it. I wonder if it's because she's actually got thumbs, or if it's because of her sneaky personality...

( EDIT: Some short blah blah blah about TWEWY. Neku is an interaction whore )

I THINK I DID A LITTLE MORE TWEWY THEORISING THAN I INTENDED TO from a conversation about Beat WHOOPS. Maybe I'll go into a TWEWY brain dump later (haven't done one of those in a while) when I'm not all brain dumped out. If I knew every person who has done incredible amounts of theorising on a different TWEWY character, I would keep them all in a cage to splurt out information as I need it.

I'll summarise the conversation (at least, the parts that aren't involved in one of the one-shots I'm working on).

( Cliffnotes version of TWEWY theorising )

NO ONION KNIGHT JOSHUA UPDATE oh my god why do I do this to myself :CCCCCCCCCCCCCCC

While I've been running all over the place and stuff, I've been trawling the internets for P3 and P4 fics in the moments I'm home. So far I've gone through the SMT, Persona and P4 kink memes. Decided to go through the Pit before going through LJ comms for Persona fics. As always, spoilers blah blah blah.

( I was kind of surprised to find stuff I enjoyed! )

OKAY. P4 KINK MEME RECCS. DONE PROPERLEY. There will obviously be spoilers and NSFW stuff in a number of them, since it's a kink meme! There is a lot of other stuff in the kink memes that are decent, too, but these are the ones which hit more of my pings! And I admit I skipped a lot of them because I'm just not interested in sex. So. Basically I skipped 90% of Souji/Yosuke.

The ones with a !!! in front are the ones I'd read over and over again
