Paradigm Shift

Don't think I've really mentioned this before, but I'm a huge Final Fantasy fan.
Doing my usual of just jumping in without an intro, but given how sparse my updates usually are, I will just assume that "sorry-i-haven't-updated-i've-been-doing-this-blah-blah" intros will just get old very quickly here.

So, as my sister tends to spend every Friday night staying over at one of her friend's house, I decided to shake the dust off my controllers and play Kingdom Hearts or something. (Fine. This was spurred on because I came across a picture of traverse town on my tumblr dashboard, and that immediately triggered a strong wave of nostalgia and a NEED to play...) I found that my ps2 wasn't actually working, so I shrugged and turned on the ps3 to find that my FFXIII disc wasn't in there.

Some notes:
(1) I hadn't even touched my consoles since we'd moved, which was last summer, because
(2) I don't have my own TV, and the one I used to play on is now in my sister's room and
(3) My sister hates anyone in her room whilst she's there
(4) which is always

I'd remembered i'd placed ejected my ffxiii disc and placed it somewhere. Not in its case, which would be the sensible thing, but I carefully placed it somewhere so I wouldn't lose it.
Well jesus christ, that was smart.

It took just over an hour of searching before I found it hiding with Harry Potter and the chamber of secrets, which was obviously the last place I would look. Ecstatic, I popped in the disc, and realised why I'd neglected the game for so long: the first boss battle with Barthandelus.
Regardless, after a few adrenaline-fueled rounds, I proceeded onto the next part...

That was one week ago and long story short, I've finished the game and have now been left with a dull ache that will never leave, not just because of the (1) sad ending, but also the fact that (2) i've finished a game.
I always always get like this, I remember when I finished kingdom hearts, the pain and misery that filled my angst-ridden 13 year old self. Even finishing the ace attorney games, no matter how many times I finish them, leaves me feeling like I have no purpose. Thank god there is going to be a sequel.

Although I looked up the sequel, and I'm not sure what to think...it appears to really be playing off Lightning's popularity and her character as one, as opposed to the storyline/group of ffxiii - either way, I'm obviously going to get it!

With a lack of ps3 games and my ps2 still being fixed, I started silent hill: homecoming instead (again, as I got... relatively far but couldn't remember anything to be honest) Asides from the stupid ps3 controls, I managed to scare myself into not wanting to leave my room. Facebook conversations spurred a new activity on the horizon: looks like i'm going to be playing amnesia as well. Let's see how well that goes.

One more day of exams! 6 hours in one day, props to whoever scheduled the ib exams. That was sarcasm of course, to whomever: i hate you.
