D&D Today: Part 1

Gonna try and record the accounts of my weekly D&D sessions, from the view of my character. The Journal of Gars Sithersay , Golden Guardinal of Garland's Guardians Day 1 I keep this journal in the hopes that it's words will one day help another. It has been 5 long years since I first joined the ranks of the Guardians. At first I had looked for my place in the world, possibly a way to restore if not my family's power and land, then our honour and self-respect. Even after all this time it is difficult to recall the events that led to our downfall, and I suspect it will be many years more before those words touches these pages. No, I will find no solace , but I have found something more than what I first sought. The deeds and actions of those with the order are not just of those who would rid the world of evil, but of those who wish to do good in this world, uphold justice and bring all who take breath into the light. I would never have imagined that such valour and coura...

Close, but no cigar...

If you ever pay attention to the lists on the right, you'll notice that Twilight Princess is bolded but the Wii is not. That means I have managed to get a hold of Zelda, but have not yet managed to grab a Wii. It's such a tease to have quite possibly the best game ever made in my freshly washed hands, but not be able to play it. I did some hunting around the city yesterday, but to no avail. I will make a few more stops today with Deep, my partner in crime, however I will not keep my hopes up. I will update when I get back with the results, for good or for bad. *crosses fingers*

Don't read reviews

I've discovered I no longer care what other people think of a game. No matter how good a game is, there will always be those who get off on hating what is popular, or don't like anything that is like their favourite game. Take Final Fantasy XII. Even though I'm only 11 hours in, I find it to be wonderfully done. Everything from the voice acting to the license system makes for a quality experience. Even though that is my opinion of the game, it must speak somewhat for the actual quality of the game itself. Then there are those who think it's bad because it differs so much from the other Final Fantasy's in the past, or because it's too this, that or the other. Yes, they are more than welcome to their opinion of the game, and if they honest think it's that way, they don't have to play it. Now the people who hate it because it IS such a high quality game write negative reviews because they enjoy watching the reactions from people who poo poo their "opin...

The big 4

Well, I've finally had a chance to play the 4 games I have purchased recently: Final Fantasy XII GTA: Vice City Stories Contact Ace Combat X *puts down PSP* Where to start. Well, might as well give a run down of what I'm currently playing. Vice City Stories is leaps and bounds ahead of it's portable predecessor. It's also much better than it's original incarnation on the PS2. You play as Vic Vance: a basically good guy who's forced to do questionable things to support his illness ridden family. Along the way he makes some powerful allies, even more powerful enemies, and I'm guessing manages to take over Vice City while he's at it. What's next... well, I did sort of go over Ace Combat X already, there isn't really as much story in the game as there is in the previous ones. It's there, but the game is much shorter. I completed the game once, and have started through again, this time along a different mission path so I've been able to unlock...
