Restless...

I could spend these opening moments to further explain what the title of this blog means today, but I think it is pretty self-explanatory isn't it?

Maybe I could end up blaming it on one of a list of things. That would be easy...

But no, that is not the way I will go. At least not today, because really I am just bored and that never ends well. I mean it usually ends up with me writing up something completely off the wall.

Or is just won't make sense.

Either way! The main thing is that I am spending these spare minutes of life dedicated to dishing out random jumbo packs of words here and I shall hand them down! Oh yes! By the hand fulls they will fall!

...And so begins the madness...

Labels were even fun for me this morning, I mean look at how many I've tacked on! Will I actually write about every single one of those? Maybe...

To start, me and Odin Sphere... yeah, that is done, over and gone before that sucker drops in trade-in value. As I stated in a previous post, I don't have all that much time to enjoy games and to me, Odin Sphere was just too damn slow.

Yes, I did think graphically it was a very beautiful game. No questions or doubts there folks, I thought it was well done in that respect.

But game play wise? I didn't care for it in the least. I'm having more fun with Gears of War and Call of Duty 3. Yes, totally different genre, but still. Fun is where it's at and that, as far as these days are concerned, is where I will head for the time being.

Final Fantasy X! Awesome game. Pretty simple there huh?

OK, so Tidus is a little odd and I still believe Kimari is one of the most useless characters ever conceived in a FF title. On the flip side, Auron kicked ass!

And I suppose Blitzball was kind of fun too, though it gets repetitive rather quickly.

On a related note, Final Fantasy X-2 was fairly good too. That's right, I admit that. Outloud. In a public place for that matter! Sure, it wasn't as serious and it was a little girly at times. But beneath that, the game itself was pretty good and that is what matters... right?

In my own opinion, FF X-2 was a nice change of pace with the quarky story telling and just to see a story from a FF game continue was cool it it's self. I wish Square-Enix would carry on or remake more games *cough*Final Fantasy VII*cough*.

Jumping subjects...

I watched the final episode of Inuyasha and, while refraining from spoiling anything, must admit that I was not in the least surprised with how it ended. I mean, after getting hyped up about the final season of Ranma 1/2 and seeing how terrible it ended, yeah. I think it is safe to say that I wasn't really expecting any real ending...

Which sucks because here I am, good ol' genius me, am out there picking up the seasons as they are being released. Now I know how it ends! Yuck!

Jumping again, I must bid adiu to Ninety-Nine Nights and hello to Def Jam: Icon.

N3 being compaired to Dynasty Warriors is an insult to Dynasty Warriors (in my own opinion of course). I think the compairsons end with the button mashing, kill-'em-all feel of the game. The voice acting gave me a headache and I found myself bored nearly out of my mind durning the opening battle. Imagine how I felt during the first actual "mission."

Call of Duty 3 is a fun one too, in that it does bring back memories of my final days in high school. Games like Day of Defeat and Half-Life were common place there, which was a load of fun since it was the entire room against one another.

Gears of War is pretty good too, though it is taking a little time to get used to. Still, playing a FPS co-op with your girlfriend = Many unnessesary deaths. Still, sure beats having to rely on NPCs to get you through.

I will say here and now that I apologize if my spelling is a little worse for wear. For one, I am tired and yet cannot sleep. Secondly, the spell check has gone and failed me by just not working.

Bastard.

Anyway... what to say next? Ah! Wrestling!

The Great Khali as World Heavyweight Champion... all I can say is this: It's bound to be interesting.

Mr. Kennedy vs. John Cena? Finally, a battle of the future stars of wrestling!

Triple X is reunited? What? I thought they were disbanded forever? Oh wait, yes. Wrestling = Nothing is forever. Not firings or retirements or much of anything for that matter.

It would be awesome if Chris Jericho returns to wrestling, but he seems to be enjoying life outside of the ring. Honestly, I'd like to witness a verbal exchange between him and Mr. Kennedy. Now that would be must-see TV.

Triple H returning soon? I wonder about him... will he return as a good guy? Or bad?

CM Punk loses during yet another ECW championship opportunity... Hmmm....

Kurt Angle or Samoa Joe? I'd like to see Samoa Joe finally win the TNA World title.

Favorite WWE Divas: Ashley, Victoria and Maria.

Subject change: I was pretty surprised to see the entire Tenchi Universe series for sale for a mere $40. Am I there? You damn straight I am!

On the topic of Tenchi Muyo!, I must express (again) my extreme dislike of the third OVA series. What the hell has happened to this story and this series? Surely the years have not been kind to it... which is definately disappointing.

News flash! Work still sucks!

2 anime movies I'd love to find on DVD (though I've only seen one of these 2 on DVD) are Galaxy Express 999 and Beautiful Dreamer. I remember seeing them both on a anime fest type show on Sci-Fi many, many, many years ago and I fell in love with them both instantly.

I am surprised to see that "I Now Pronouce you Chuck & Larry" (I think that is the right title...) actually beat out Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix at the box office. I think what gets me is how short a time period it has been since it was released. Is this a sign of things to come in the future of this insanely popular series?

Speaking of which, I've cheated and read what I was curious about in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (I hope that is the right title...) and not a word beyond that. It is interesting and I felt satisfied with how it ended. That is all I shall say of this!

Well the time has come to bring this random-fest to an end and maybe now I will be able to get some shut eye. God I am tired! Sleep....!
