meme + chrono trigger + doc bitching

[livejournal.com profile] pbjsammich was doing this meme over at DeviantArt, so I said I'd join in if I could post it to my LJ. :D Gonna change it a teeny bit, though. XD;

"The first five six (ed: okay, I suck at following rules D:) people to comment on this entry get free sketch of ONE character from me. Oh, and you gotta do this for five other people too. If you do this, you must post this in your journal and do 5 doodles, (ed: or drabbles), for other people! Until I see you've posted this in your own journal I won't be posting your doodle. Simple? Okay, let's begin."

Ed: You don't really have to do anything. XD Only if ye want!

Now, don't expect these to be good or anything. XD;

2. [livejournal.com profile] firefly99 (Liquid Snake; MGS)
3. [livejournal.com profile] tinted_glass (Cid Highwind; FFVII)

(If any of you other guys who commented wanted a bad drawing and I was just too dumb to tell, go ahead and tell me. XD)

Um. Speaking of which, I got the money together to buy this. <3 (Of course, I got in on ebay for cheaper, so let's hope it's as "brand-new" and "factory-sealed" as the seller claims. XD) I'm totally excited because this is the first time I've actually paid for something through my own debit/credit card instead of using my mom's AmEx and then paying her back in cash. (I know. I'm a loser. D:)

O right, haven't updated this in a while. Again. I actually did play tons of Chrono Trigger, and now I'm at The Final Hour. :DDDDD I think either Magus or Frog have to be my favorites. (Frog who is like the most angsty amphibian ever. <3) I'm totally replaying Chrono Cross after this. Eeeeeeeeeeeee :D

DoC is out, but I don't think I'll buy it---hell, not even rent it. :/ I think it's my sort of passive-aggressive boycott against Cid's voice, (not to mention the gameplay isn't supposed to be that great), since I'm assuming there won't be a Japanese voices option. (If there is, I'll buy it IMMEDIATELY.) I'm really fucking unhappy on how they decided to stereotype him based solely on superficial facets of his personality without realizing he's uh. A fucking rocket scientist and brilliant engineer who happens to cuss lots.

:/

Not to mention the godawfulness of Vincent's voice. But at least that's not based on blatant, typical dub stereotyping. (I STILL LOVE YOU, SPIKE STEVEN BLUM. <3333333 ;______;)

Chris Edgerly should either smash a chair across the voice director or suffer my wrath somehow?. YEAH, I'M TALKIN' TO YOU. >O

No, I don't think I'm way too riled up over this. >/ ::Gnaws on Cid.:: And WHY do they always screw up the covers of US-released games? Seriously, stick with the Kingdom Hearts idea and keep it the same!

Take MGS3 as another good-cover-turned-bad example. Grr.

...I should have gone to bed when I got off the phone with Court. ;_; Why do I do this to myself? WRYYY?

AWWWWW. But I already did this meme three months ago!! ;~; The best you, or anyone else, would get from me would be a sketch in PS without a tablet. >>;; Being away from all the lovely college supplies sucks.

Magus is cooler but Frog is more fun~ Man, it's been too long since I played Chrono Trigger otherwise I'd say more useful stuff other than button mash. Which I'm sure we all do anyways. Wait, did I miss something? What does Cid sound like? And Vincent sounds bad too...? ;-; Hah, have you seen the FFXII cover? I wonder why they change it since it goes from gorgeous to mediocre.

ARGH NOT LISTENING AND DEFINITELY NOT JEALOUS.

No because I couldn't find the time to watch it so it kind of drifted out of my mind...I fear it greatly now though. A Texan oil tycoon? Wtf...? Did any of the voice actors even play the game?! That's nothing like Cid. ;-; Don't know, my version got beaten up badly in shipping so I told my buddies to just wait until Christmas when I'd go home and play it. But they said the fighting is different and a bit hard to handle at first and that the story is awesome, especially Fran's ass. *fangirlfangirl* I just can't wait to go back to Taiwan now~

This is such a pyramid scheme. :/

More bat!Hughes. ;_; Or your choice.

Number Three in for the meme! *elbow*

Oh, and the European cover for MGS3 is lovely (http://images.ciao.com/iuk/images/products/normal/622/product-5830622.jpg), in my opinion.

I do like the MGS3 cover... I mean, it could have been much, much worse. At least they righted things by sticking to their guns with the MGS3:Subsistence packaging. I like that art.

...Your icon. *paw*

Damn that game for sucking but being pretty. Damn me having no money. Damn rental places for sucking. XD

[identity profile] pebi.livejournal.com 2006-08-20 09:19 pm (UTC)(link)
YES THAT ICON. Best part in the game.

I could have lent it to you guys while I was over there and you could have played it without the bad voiceacting. :P It's not like there's much of a plot to miss anyway.

I totally would be all over that meme if I hadn't posted it already and uh, didn't owe two people art for the past three months. BUT IF YOU WANT TO DRAW CID, YOU KNOW, GO AHEAD. XDD;;;

DoC is out? I'm... tempted to rent it, but most likely I will not.

I'd ask for a sketch, but I don't think I have the time for drabbles right now. XD

I wanted a sketch. ;_; Oh well.

::looks at time on this entry:: Well, no wonder I've been seeing you on when I get up for work. I was kind of curious about that.
