(no subject)

I decided to dig up my DW and revamp it for kicks, but it involved me going back and fixing the broken icons on the most recent two pages.

Those entries spanned about, what, maybe one or two years? It's not like I was super young or anything, but I still feel a bit of a gut punch when reading them. Or at least a wince. Something like that.

Also, I have no idea what is going on with these tags. They are out of control.

FF7 for the PC (again)

...is apparently a real thing? I'm kinda surprised.

Not much data on it other than achievements, a cash shop, and cloud saves. I am very curious what the achievements are, the cash shop seems kinda useless to me, and cloud saves just makes me LOL for stupid, stupid reasons.

I do wish we could get info on whether the translation is redone/straightened out for this version. I'd buy it just for that, honestly. (FFT's new translation was so worth re-purchasing. I have no regrets.) If it's not fixed, then... eh. I'm not sure.

GOG.com

I'm super glad GOG.com exists, seriously. I've heard of a lot of these games, but never played them as a child because our family was more console-oriented. (I was probably too young to play anything other than Lemmings or Dr. Brain games anyway.) I like having the chance to play these games and check out what people are talking about. I just nabbed the Wing Commander series to give it a shot. Also Mark Hamill is in the games too, and I wanna see that.

I'm thinking about trying to get more recent games on GOG too. I don't know if anyone else has the same problem, but Steam can really clog up my computer sometimes. I don't have a gaming optimized laptop, so just opening Steam can be a trial for me. Games that are DRM free are such a turn on.

I really should be reformatting my hard drive, but I'm hesitant. My laptop originally came with Windows Vista installed, but I received a free upgrade to Windows 7 and used that. I don't know where I put the upgrade disk anymore, though. I'm afraid of reformatting and ending up with Vista again. That would really, really suck.

I'll have to go hunting for it again sometime.

I don't usually post things like this, so pardon me in advance for that. I really liked the message behind this video, however.

WARNING: Surgery scars. She warns ahead of time, though. I do recommend at least minimizing the video and listening to the audio as an alternative.


There's another interesting documentary recently released on the topic. I'd like to see this one.
