Got to Macalania in FFX, about to go and kick Seymour's arse.
I don't know if I am overlevelled or not, since there are no level markers, and I never count sphere grid progressions (though this would be easier to do if I could find my strategy guide, but it appears to have done one at some point in the last five years, and I Very Annoyed. I had that thing before I had the game, I think!*). Although obviously, the AP rewards are less, the more you progress through the grid, so I'm probably bang on where I should be. (I haven't actually fled from many fights, only ones where I've felt like I just can't be arsed, e.g. when it's my tenth Ochu in a row).
Ooh, and I think Tidus has a weapon I've never seen before? Or at least, I don't remember it. It's the Basilisk Steel, which has Stonetouch, and it's freaking amazing. I haven't bothered changing it because most of the time he petrifies an enemy, unless it's immune.
Also I hit 9999 damage with Ixion on...something yesterday, and it seems too early in the game to be getting that type of damage, especially with an Aeon.
An aside: I will never not boggle when someone says they pick three characters in FFX and stick to those three doggedly. Like. Half the fun of the battle system is the swapping mechanism! (I'm just reading some posts and just...yeah...)

I guess I should go out for a Pokewalk - the sun is out and it looks pleasant - but I just don't want to. I've been feeling really drained lately (I had a busy week this last week or so, including covering an extra shift at work), so the thought of going out is just...blergh right now. Also the clocks went forward last night/this morning so no doubt that will make me feel worse, because it always does.
Anyway, I've got a whole lot of the rest of the day to decide, so we'll see.

P.S. It's The Matrix's twentieth birthday today - well, anniversary of when it was released in the US - and I honestly can't believe it's been bending my brain for two decades. Holy flurking schnit, as they say.
(it wasn't released in the UK until the 11th of June, though that makes sense to me, as it fits with my memories of watching it the first time).

*I mean, it's in my room somewhere, but I've looked everywhere it should be, and a couple of places it isn't, and it hasn't been in any of those places. It will probably turn up once I've gone onto something else.
