So, which version of the English script was more true to the original Japanese Script:

The SNES release or DS release?

Well the DS version did get rid of a lot of the common "Woolsey-isms", however I still believe that neither of them really convey some of the same feelings as the Japanese script does. Parts of their language just don't make the transfer to English well, any way you slice it.

As for the graphics, good. But they definitely weren't the BEST the system had to offer. Limited MODE7 animations in the game really set it behind other games like Terranigma that used it almost the whole game. Also, imagine what Chrono Trigger would have looked like with some Super FX support, huh? But they couldn't do that due to the battery RAM save feature that took up a lot of cartridge space back then.

Thus why winter is better. As I like to say, one can always put on more clothing if one is cold, but there is only so much one can take off before one gets arrested.

I say that exact ...I don't know what you'd call it... proverb? phrase? saying? whatever...  almost word for word whenever somebody asks which I prefer. Wow.

As do I. It's a pretty common phrase, it seems.

I love that Me, Bekkler, Boo, and Thought all share a love of Flight of the Conchords.

Anybody watch Eastbound and Down? Anyone down with Kenny Powers?

So I totally just made the HIGHEST grade in my RT101 class on our final. 87/100. The next highest was my buddy Josh, with an 83. The only bad part is that the clinical site I start at on September 1st only took two people from my class, me and my friend Sharon. She failed. I really don't want to be alone at clinicals, so I might request to be put in another site if she doesn't pass the retake.

I didn't care for 9. I felt the ability system needed a little more polishing. It was a little hard to understand.

Yeah, I never bothered with Omega from VIII because it was so close to the end that I was like eff that, I just wanna see the ending! And I was glad too because VIII has one of the best endings in the series. I remember I kept beating it to show my friends (who were understandably somewhat less impressed by it).

I thought it was the best ending in the series period. I especially loved the cliffhanger at the end with the "did he or didn't he" kind of thing going on. It leaves it ambiguous.

It all depends on how strong you believe love is as to whether Squall lives or dies.

And there's definitely nothing obtained from fighting Omega Weapon in FF8. The Proof of Omega and a Three Stars really isn't worth being hit by that devastator attack he has that WILL kill you if you're not invincible.

\Omega isn't in VIII, I remember beating him pretty easily.

Cerberus, Triple Aura, Triple Haste, Holy War. Summon Doomtrain and just keep up with Renzokuken/Lionheart. Leave the third character to recast Aura and Holy War when it's time.

Lol, Play FFV. I still haven't beaten that one. I beat every single FF. With a little luck I got lost in FF1, 2, and 3 so I was strong, but in FF4 I was like screw you Zeromus, I rule! FFV on the other hand... ExDeath is almost impossible without grinding WHICH I REFUSE TO DO!!! FFVI can be difficult, But I used every character equally so I was lucky. But the Vanish-Doom trick doesn't work on two bosses in the final dungeon. Kefka and some Robot thing. FFIX isn't hard but Ozma sure is, so are the WEAPONs in FFVII. Omega isn't in VIII, I remember beating him pretty easily. But seriously FF5 = Hardest FF ever

Final Fantasy 5 not only had the hardest boss I've ever fought, but also the hardest sub-boss, in the form of Shinryu.

That was until they made FFIV Advance and Brachioraidos.

I actually almost died from my wisdom tooth removal.

It's an interesting story involving staph infections, a broken leg, and over $14,000 worth of debt!

Every time I pick up one of my instruments, I shall remember Les Paul. Especially since I have a Les Paul knockoff guitar that I'm going to be restringing and cleaning tomorrow in his honor.

Ok, so I'm sitting in class today. For those who don't know, I'm a Respiratory Therapist in training. We're in class, and reviewing for a test on Thursday. Well my teacher thinks it prudent that he ask me the hardest question possible out of his groups of questions. Usually, this wouldn't be a problem. Except for the fact that every answer to this question is RIGHT, but he wants the BEST answer. I of course choose a right answer, but not the best. I felt like an idiot.

Also, my girlfriend is out of town all week. >_<
