So let us do a recap of THIS WEEK IN ENTERTAINMENT. I have consumed more in the past few days than I have in weeks - thanks, Spring Break!
- Firstly and most importantly, I CAN HAS PRINCE OF PERSIA. Temporarily. Sarah's lab mate lent me his XBOX360 as a birthday present of sorts, and another labmate kindly lent me his copy of Prince of Persia. So I have been having great fun accidentally inventing new ways to hurl myself into chasms.
I still love the Prince and Elika. I loved them before, but I forgot how much! I am weak to their dynamic in general: it's adorable how Elika does get that he's attracted to her, but doesn't seem to realize that he's in awe of her. And oh, their banter! And the delicious foreshadowing! I request a sequel game in which they do nothing but alternate between snarking and making out.
- I also had the chance to play Final Fantasy 13 a little bit! I'm not very far in, but I like it. Most of the characters are endearing (Sazh! ♥), and I've had multiple Stupid Sexy Lightning moments so far. Also, I have endless funtimes with Hope, who I have taken to calling "Muffin." At first, Sarah's labmate was all, "HE DOES NOT NEED TO BE EMASCULATED MORE," but by the end of the night he was also calling him "Muffin."
- I also played a little Assassin's Creed 2. At some point I am just going to go running up to a building and try to climb it. I was also far too used to PoP at that point, so I would just hurl Ezio off roofs and go "WHAT THE HELL WHERE'S ELIKA." Oops.
- So I was just watching Fringe episodes for the sake of having something to watch, but as it goes into season two, it is actually legitimately growing on me! Of course, as soon as I thought that, they decided to go and kill off a character I liked in a terrible horrible way. Where am I supposed to get my deadpan snark and weirdly incongruous hats now. D:
One thing I think they did rather well was to make Massive Dynamic deliciously ambiguous instead of the stereotypical evil cooperation. Which is awesome because, well, I have a strange love for Nina Sharp and her robot arm. ♥ It is a JJ Abrams show, and therefore full of plot holes big enough to create a rip in the fabric of space time, but it's fun, and contains minimal fail.
- And just so you know I'm still literate, I'm currently reading The Little Stranger by Sarah Waters. It's like Gosford Park with a ghost story. ♥ Love it. Will do a writeup later.
Thanks so much for all the prompts, guys! I plan to sit down and mess with them soon.

But he's darn useful in my team by now. And I still can't admit he's in my dream-team because one of my friends loathes him like WHOA!! XD XD
Also, wait until you get Lightning and Fang together! *______* Their COM/COM is called 'Double Trouble'...
I shall shut up, as I'm probably far, far, far ahead (working on my final class to max out, 5 of 6 done - wooohooooo; beating Adamantaimais in under 3 minutes without Death and summon... and still not good enough for those freaking blueish Adamans called Long Guis *sighs*)
I'm gaming way too much... I know...

(I have this bad habit of starting games and NEVER FINISHING THEM. ^^; PoP is no exception.) I'm glad you're having a relaxing spring break/birthday time. XD

I SPY...
And they just go on. And on. And it's precious.
Seriously just lag about in certain zones and see what they say it's precious.

"S again? ... sky."
"Nope!"
"Scar."
"No."

"I don't know!"
"SOULLESS FOLLOWER OF AHRIMAN. :D"

BTW! Any idea when you want to meet up?
