I forgot what it's like to have messy, snowy winters, even though I grew up in an area (Detroit) where it's a perennial feature.

But I spent the past four years of my life in Baltimore, where we rarely get that much snow. Now I'm back up north, in Boston, and have to get readjusted (or really, more "adjusted to dealing with snow as a pedestrian," since when I was growing up in MI my parents and friends drove me everywhere because I was a lazy-ass who didn't get her driver's license).

*Looks outside* GYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARG

*Looks back at screen* Hmm, looks like it's snowing outside.

Lol, same here. I was like "what the fuck, again?" when I saw it. I just want it to not be so cold in the mornings x)

The snow have been melting here. Not that I mind, but hopefully it won't freeze over again, I'm getting tired of all the ice everywhere

I hate it when people use "but it's a kids show" as an excuse to gloss over horrible writing.

Especially for Pokemon. Its a kid show, so ash is a teeny bit incompetent compared to his DP self......NO. BW ash may have his moments, but DP gave him so much breathing room its unfair treatment this gen. Sure its a children's show, but it used to be a children's show with some self respect damn it.

Ha, snow during the winter, but never at christmas! Belgian weather ftw
Count Seoul in. Almost always snow after the Christmas season, but never around Christmas x) Last year seemed 'hopeful', but nope xD

What I hate about snow is this; it's a real mess after the melted snow freezes. During the worst times, you'd rather wear ice skates instead of shoes x_X

Well, that's how the conditions are over here for most of January/February. At least that was the case this year and last.

For a place so north, we don't really have that much snow. My best regards go to the ocean for that, I'm not really complaining.

I compared him Pokedexing Koffing to Ryu from Street Fighter having to ask who Saggat is. I got told that I'm impossible to talk to because my opinions are always wrong. Sometimes I re-he-heally hate the people on my other forums.

A classic Japanese RPG, and one that remains a lot closer to its origins today than the Final Fantasy series has.
I might have to check it out.

Yeah, I've heard bad stuff about the recent Final Fantasy's. I've only played VI, so I don't know what they're like myself.

Personally, I haven't really been into the Final Fantasy series past IX, as with X it really stopped doing it for me. The Dragon Quest series, on the other hand, I still enjoy, and it's still a very fun fantasy based RPG series for me. I'd also recommend the Golden Sun series. The first two, Golden Sun and Golden Sun: The Lost Age were released for the Gameboy Advance system (and I just checked ebay to make sure that I wasn't leading you down an expensive road, and it seems that you can get copies for a decent price), and then the third in the seires was released for the DS and is titled Golden Sun: Dark Dawn, and it also can be had for a decent price.

The Golden Sun series was done by a company called Camelot, who also designed the GBA Mario Golf game (which is why the game feels like it's half RPG and half golf).
I've heard good things about Golden Sun too. I have quite the expansive "game to get" list, though, so I don't know when I'll actually get around to it or Dragon Quest. Maybe soon, maybe not for a while.

Golden Sun is awesome. You should download it.

I have a friend who obsessed over Golden Sun for awhile, but I have no idea what it is myself.

Look at my most recent blog to see what games have priority over it (discluding Mass Effect 3, and Fire Emblem, since I now have the later).

Beware. Golden Sun is text heavy. Unskippable text heavy. Reread text heavy parts after you die on a boss. Oh, the memories ;_;

God this is the laziest waste of a weekend I've had in a while.

I'm making myself go to my book club meeting in Cambridge even though I didn't really read most of the book, just because I'm getting kind of stir-crazy.

Plus, the fluffy big snowflakes coming down in Boston look so...inviting!

If you're putting aside Golden Sun for Mass Effect 3, not even 1 the only game in the series worth play, I seriously suggest you give up your gaming license. I don't care if you tell us to discount it, no one gives up 3 of the greatest RPGs in the last decade for Mass Effect. Not even the biggest die hard bioware fan. Seriously, just don't even bother with Mass Effect 3.
