Improper actions, improper requests.

Today was Lazar's Friday Shadake game, in which much was said but little was learned, largely because of my habit of incessantly interrupting the flow of exposition to ask another leading question. It was one of the 'cleanup' sessions that we tend to have now and then, in which the loose ends from one mission were scattered about like leaves and a new mission was thrust upon us, but nothing was actually *done*.

Games

I finished Xenosaga, finally... the end came as something of a surprise, since I hadn't done everything I'd seen in the walkthroughs. Apparently I'd missed a lot of the optional parts. But it was a decent length overall... 45 hours or so, although 3 of those were spent converting coins from the casino back into money, one healing kit at a time.

Well, okay, 99 healing kits at a time, but that's still not much cash.

After that I played some Soulcalibur 2. It seems to be just like Soulcalibur, with weapon-master mode from Soul Edge re-added and integrated with the mission mode. And with a storyline that makes less sense. Apparently, there's a good soul blade thingy and a bad soul blade thingy, but they both drive people insane and make them kill... um, yeah. At any rate, it's still the best fighter ever, even if it's the same fighter as the Dreamcast version, except in the details and extras.

Then I started in on the next RPG (deciding not to finish one of the other half-done RPGs, because I didn't like them as much). Dot Hack Infection. I'm... not really sure what to think about it. It seems to have all the problems of a MMORPG, except that it's easier to find people to group with. And it's all random dungeons. There's some plot or other, but it's boring and done through e-mail and crap like that, so it's hard to make myself care.
