Leisure Time
We might make it out to the Black Sea this weekend if we can firm up some kind of hotel arrangement. Things get a little folksy as you leave the metro area. Incidentally, Amsterdam seems to be the same way inside its metro. That is one very different city (we’re going in late June for a week-long training class).
We finished Seiken Densetsu 3 (would have been Secret of Mana 2 if it had been released in the US), and I have to say I’ve never had such a mood swing during an RPG. I really liked it at first, but by the end I was really bitter and cynical. It think it got a little too SquareSoft-ie on me, with the random unavoidable deaths and erratic difficulty level. The plot also sucked: the Mana Sword is in my heart? The Mana Sword’s purpose is to help me stab it into other people’s hearts. And why were we enabling evil the whole time?
We have a few other co-op games in the ZSNES queue (and still need to finish Champions of Norrath again on the PS2). We may play Chrono Trigger next; despite it not being a co-op game, it’s so beautiful it is pretty fun to just watch.
I won an eBay auction for the sequel to Norrath as well as the first Baldur’s Gate game for PS2. We can port our Norrath players over to the sequel, which might be fun. Or not. We’ll see. To save an e-mail: they’re coming to Prince George.
Oh, our little dysfunctional supply chain…
