Dear everybody who is in the really cold in America right now: please stay warm and safe!

On that note, [profile] rugger, who lives in Finland, made this list of things that will help you in extreme cold.

I'm not even in extreme cold, and there's a few things on there I didn't think of/know about.

In other news, my mood has improved. I was still a bit ¬_¬ when I woke up yesterday morning, but by the time I got to work, I felt okay. Also there was a lot of stuff to do, so that kept me occupied.

And I feel okay again today, so yaaaay!

(I knew it would pass, it always does, but blimey I hadn't felt that grim in a while).

In other other news, because pretty much everyone I know is super hype about Kingdom Hearts 3, I thought it was time I familiarised myself with the story outside of what I know already, instead of making jokes about how nobody understands what's going on.

(I'm always going to find them funny, though).

So I have watched a cutscene compilation from the 1.5 Remix, and that unexpectedly made me cry when an orchestral version of Sanctuary kicked in (though to be fair, the same song gave me An Emotion the last time I listened to it, so I don't know why I'm surprised).

And then I started on the cutscenes from Re: Chain of Memories. There's lots of running about and not much else (I suspect the game would be more fun to play than watch). I know that's how it goes, because I did play a bit of the original a long time ago (I couldn't get the hang of it, though, so gave up), but sheesh, it's boring.

I know I could just give up and watch one of those videos on youtube that are like a story recap but a: I'm fussy about voices/how the video is presented and b: Billy Zane*

(I'm checking out listings on ebay for the other games and ooooooooh the cover of the deluxe edition of KH3 is purdy!)

Anyway, the next entry should be an FFXII liveblog! (I've got a bunch to catch up on, esp since I just got to Giruvegan the other day).

It's really not - the deck system is awful. Admittedly, I quite liked the original GBA version, but something about putting into 3D is just... ugh.

Orchestral Hikari's the one that gets me every time - I can't hear that and not well up! ;_;

Eh, nah. Game is boring as hell. Story is okay, and the second PT is more enjoyable than the first-- but it's still a major chore.
