Onto the Next 300 Posts
So yes, my post yesterday was #300 making today’s…*drumroll*…#301!! I have about 5 months or so to get ~60 posts in order to stay on track with my posts per year. Shouldn’t be too difficult, I don’t think.
I’m still in the middle of Okami, but the end is in sight (I think). Pretty sure I’m in the last “major” area now, so I should just have 1 or 2 more sections of the story to go. After that, I’ll probably start on Final Fantasy Tactics as my next new game so that I might finish it before starting on FFTA over Christmas while I have to sit in a car for 8+ hours. Yeah, they’re not directly linked story wise, but I figure it can’t hurt to play the first before the second. This also is probably a good example of how not using a guide may help me to beat the game faster. If I’m not told where ever single hidden item is, I probably won’t get the vast majority of them which equates to less time spent not directly accomplishing the main goals of the game. See, I’m so smart. :)
I went to go see Eragon today and my general feeling was “good but not awesome”. It’s similar enough to LotR to draw comparisons, but I don’t think that’s fair. LotR is the better movie, but this one is still very good on its own. Overall, I probably prefer Eragon slightly more because I found more of the movie itself entertaining (very likely because it’s only 1:40 long). My rating: 7/10.
