I'm going to quote this blog's description here and add to it:
Originally my Final Fantasy blog, I shut down this blog for a few months before ultimately realizing I had a lot of fun with it, even though nobody read a single thing. Now, with the world of PC gaming fully open to me with Steam, emulators, FRAPS, and so on, I felt it would be awesome to take this blog and turn it into a general gaming blog.Unfortunately, I lost the backup copy of this blog, so all of my previous posts are gone. In one way, this is a good thing because these posts featured opinions of mine that I look back on and realize how invalid they were. But for the most part, this sucks because I just had so many awesome things beyond the posts themselves. Thankfully, I've managed to salvage my playthroughs of Final Fantasy VI and Final Fantasy XII, along with my unfinished playthrough of FFIII. The FFIII playthrough might just get deleted, though, so don't expect that to remain salvaged for long.
Wait, BREAKING NEWS! I found all of my blog posts :D What I figured I'd do is post them before this post so that way this updated information doesn't get buried beneath my old posts.
Okay, now I can carry on with what I originally wanted to say. Going through my previous blog posts, I have one thing to say: MY GOD, ALL THE POSTS ABOUT FFXIII-2.
I guess one of the reasons why I shut this blog down was how much of a failure that game was when it was finally released, after all the damn hype I built up for it. Also, you might notice all these posts about Type-0 being released. Those were written nearly over a year ago. Look now, try as you might, you'll never find any information about whether that game will be released overseas or not. In short, Square Enix is managed by morons, and that greatly contributed to the shutting down of this blog.
As I alluded to in the blog description, I've gained wide access to the opportunities presented by PC gaming. In the case of Final Fantasy, I can now play FFXII and FFX on my computer, because I have finally found an emulator for PS2 games! In general, pretty much every Final Fantasy ever released is accessible to me, but I'm not going to bother with that opportunity that much. With FRAPS, I can make video let's plays of FFXII and FFX, allowing for a kind of entertainment that cannot be achieved through a written playthrough.
However, why limit myself to Final Fantasy? In my opinion, that was why my blog died. Therefore, even though my blog template and design runs on a theme of Final Fantasy, I want to emphasize this new factor of this blog:
I am not solely focusing on Final Fantasy anymore.
So there you have it. What does this mean? This means I will discuss any game. That includes my current library of games, which includes:
- Arma 2: Combined Ops
- Black Mesa (basically a graphical overhaul mod of Half-Life 1)
- Counter-Strike
- Continent of the Ninth Seal

Whew. You never realize how many games you have until you count them all out. And I still plan to add more games to that library!
Beyond just the games I own, though, I'll still talk about games in the same sense as how I talked about Final Fantasy, by looking through videos and news and concept art and such. So this blog now has no excuse to sit around for long periods of time anymore. In short, I anticipate a very lively blog here, and to celebrate that, I will find a way to upload my first FRAPS video ever in the next post!
