a collection of not very much
Cat fight! Oh no!
The little outraged squeak at the end is Alfador’s; they stopped wrasslin’ pretty much immediately thereafter.

Minecraft: Because Fuck Physics (tm)
(goddammit Sarah making me pull my antique copy of Minecraft out of mothballs)
Ahaha I had no idea how messed up the affinity system in Dragon’s dogma is. Apparently it just picks whoever you talk to the most as your beloved if you don’t try hard enough to get someone specific, so you can think you’ll live happily ever after with the busty blond shop keeper and accidentally…
If someone is falling in love with you, first they’ll start blushing when you talk to them, and then you’ll start hearing this little chiming sound, and when they’re really far gone the chiming sound gets really loud and they’ll radiate this pink aura. Seriously. I kept expecting some kind of ‘ARISEN-KUN NO BAKAAAAA~!’.
There are a lot of people you can potentially romance, and you can totally do it by accident. You can manage this if you want to, though! If you scare or annoy people, they’ll like you less. Every time I went back to town I’d spend a couple of minutes repeatedly drawing my daggers in front of the weaponshop guy—he jumps and gasps every time, it’s precious—and then I’d go to the inn and spend another minute or so trying to pick up the innkeeper and carry him around. People hate that.
Normally people will twist away from you if you try to pick them up, but if you run up behind them and grab before they know you’re there, you can nab them. I managed to pick up Madeleine and throw her over my shoulder once. She wasn’t happy. Especially since I thought it was hilarious and carried her all over town.
… looking back, I’d have to say that my Arisen was, perhaps, eccentric.

Michiru Oshima, ‘Brand of the Holy Knuckles’, Legend of Legaia OST
Ha haaa, Legend of Legaia—a severely mediocre JRPG, but one which I remain sneakingly fond of. I watched my husband play it when it was new and then thought nothing more of it… until I…
Severely mediocre? Fuck all y’all.
sorry glass :(
… but how do you feel about Chrono Cross? This is also important now!
I liked Legaia and Chrono Cross! Fuck all of youuuu ;_;
SHUN
SHUUUUUN
… honestly, I give Chrono Cross more shit than it deserves. Like Legend of Legaia (and most of the other RPGs from the same era) it was a perfectly serviceable game. Flawed, sure, but it had some definite strengths.
It’s just that… when Chrono Cross’ release was first announced, my reaction was “Oh, cool! Guess I better finally play Chrono Trigger, then!” I ‘acquired’ a ROM of Chrono Trigger, played it for the very first time, won it… and started Chrono Cross the very next day.
Yeah. Bad idea.

Michiru Oshima, ‘Brand of the Holy Knuckles’, Legend of Legaia OST
Ha haaa, Legend of Legaia—a severely mediocre JRPG, but one which I remain sneakingly fond of. I watched my husband play it when it was new and then thought nothing more of it… until I found a strategy guide for it and realized that he had played the game all wrong. There was nothing for it but to buy that strategy guide and play the game myself. So I did.
This track is the standard random-encounter battle music. I’ve always liked it. It’s so drummy.
It’s possible that I’m only posting this in order to make Nadia barf up her breakfast.
OH YOU WICKED, WICKED CHILD!!
(Context: I kind of hate LoL, and to make matters worse some jokers lifted a bunch of games from our apartment ages ago including Suikoden II—but they left Legend of Goddamn Legaia)
WHAT’S A PIMP, VAUGHAN?
MY CUNNING PLAN HAS SUCCEEDED
Tell you what: I’ll apologize—SORRY NADIA—and then we can hate Chrono Cross together instead?
