Looking for geek friends. :)

Hehe, I'll agree to disagree! FF6 was good, but didn't quite fit the bill for me for sure. I actually liked FF8 more than 6 honestly... =P Still a good game though regardless. I'm hoping they re-release the PC version of FF8 again with the same improvements as they did with 7. That'd be pretty sweet!

I thought all 3 ps1 final fantasy games were top notch. Go to show everyone has differing opinions because my favorite was 9. I know my opinion isn't the popular one, I like it. That said once 8 gets going its pretty good. Just a slow to start.

9 is my favorite of the 3 ps games.

Yeh, 9 was pretty good, and I liked how they kind of took a step back and brought in some of the original class types that we were used to from like FF1. No other JRPG that I've played though matches up to 6, 7, 8 though honestly... With one exception of course, and a typical exception being Chrono Trigger..

Ooooooh Chrono Trigger. So good! So, so good.

Yeah, once it went from menu turn-based I just kind of stopped feeling like it was final fantasy. Although I bough 12 and 13 with such a hope filled heart all I could do was sob into my pillow. 12 I actually came around to after I played it through the second time. The characters are so bland! (Except Balthier and Fran) And 13 I thought had such great characters only to be ruined by game play.

But, I believe the man we should give all the credit to is Nobuo Uematsu. Without him all of the games I love would not be the same.

Yea, my biggest problems with todays FFs is the lack of the classic JRPG turn based menu system, and the gawd freaking awful linearity... It's funny, in the official strategy guide for FF7 for the PC they have a note after you get out of midgar that honestly the current day devs should really read. It reads, "NOTE: The game takes a huge turn here. Up to this point the quest has been fairly linear. From now on, you'll have large areas to explore with lots of things to discover. Have fun and take your time when travelling from place to place. AFTER ALL, HALF THE FUN OF AN RPG IS DISCOVERY!" FF13 was less than half the fun of any of the older FFs because well... it was linear and lacked the classic RPG menu system lol... K, I'm off my soap box..

Does being at my computer 70% of the day make me geeky enough? Ooo Also, I am an actress and have done a ton of musical theater. Now I can't get any geekier!!!

So I dare you to not friend this hapless geek!

The Lord of the Rings, is my greatest vice. I think I've read every book ever published by Tolkien and his son on the history of Middle Earth and I was one of those people who read through the entirety of the Silmarillion multiple times.

I only started gaming a couple years ago, but I quickly became obsessed with Dragon Age. The number of times I've played through the game is downright embarrassing. Persona 3, Deadlight, and Assassins Creed are also among my favorites. Unfortunately I've never been able to get into games such as Silent Hill or any FPS because the perspectives give me really bad motion sickness.

And anime. Gundam Wing was the first series I fell in love with. I also really enjoyed Darker than Black and Mushishi. I started watching Death Note, but never finished it after they took it off netflix (finishing it is on my to-do list). Lately I've been watching Attack on Titan, and its amazing.

Wow. Let see if I can measure up here.
I am first and foremost a Whovian,
but also up there is
Star Wars, Firefly , Harry Potter, Hunger Games (movies and Books), X men
Tolkien, Xanth, pretty well if its fantasy I will read it, yes even Twilight (shudder...)
Once Upon a Time, Next Generation
Magic (the card game)
I know theres a bunch I'm forgetting, but I think this may just label me a Geek.

P.S Don't be embarrassed about your Dragon age/ Mass effect addiction!

Haha, I try not to be!

Also i am a huge reader - my favs being Stephen King and Kilborn - read everything and anything by them.

I'm currently on book 2 of the Dark Tower Series. I'm really curious about what's going to happen, but I'm also at a place in the book where I'm currently a little too weirded out to keep reading. Curiosity will win out eventually though!

Stephen King is possibly my favourite author EVER~!!! Really looking forward to Doctor Sleep coming out

moosiau, love the picture on your weight tracker
hornsofulmo, keep reading! I am always scared to read through Kings books because he has the nasty habbit of killing all of his characters off, but hey, that's half the fun!

I am in. I actually wound up over here because someone at Nerdfitness recommended it as a good way to track food and macros

Also, we have a paid subscription to crunchyroll.com. Anime is abou all we watch these days.

But in my heart of hearts, I am a total book geek. I will read just about anything, and have the Kindle library to prove it.

Amen!

We call them playable movies and forgive them because they are beautiful.
