First and foremost, why the hell do I have 'I Just Can't Wait To Be King' on my computer? Not that I mind, as it amuses me, I just don't know why it's on my computer. Anyway, because I'm a huge slacker, I didn't actually work on Sephiroth at all today, and instead went out shopping and prostrated myself before the twin gods of Squeenix and Capcom. Actually, mostly Capcom, but I found a used copy of Final Fantasy Anthology for $10 at the video store when we went to rent The Producers (Everybody, go! Watch it! I love that movie), and I couldn't resist. And then Ben and I talked about how Wesker could kick anyone's ass on the way home.

Another rec - everybody reading this should go read William Gibson's Burning Chrome, because it is fucking awesome. Particularly anyone who writes Midgar stuff because 1) if you love Midgar you'll love Gibson and 2) the Sprawl is really good inspiration for Midgar. As is the stuff in Isaac Asimov's Caves of Steel which I still maintain is a sort of proto-cyberpunk. The atmosphere is so there.

Also, anybody want icons? I've been making tons of icons for Jo, and I figured I might as well offer everybody else icons XD

icons? yes please ^__^

It'd be fantastic if you could do a "Percy Weasley For Minister of Magic" one.* Some decent head-&-shoulder shots here (http://percyweasley.com/stills2.php).

Hell yes. You still get so much love for making me read Neuromancer two years ago.

Gibson has been on my List to Read for a while. He's come recommended by multiple reliable sources.

Go forth and Do It. Do not stop, do not pass go, do not collect $200. Particularly as you seem to like Midgar. Burning Chrome is a collection of short stories, which I personally feel Gibson's style shines best in. It's like a really fancy dessert - you want to savor every little bit. His Sprawl Trilogy - Neuromancer, Count Zero, and Mona Lisa Overdrive - are also very good, IMO. His other stuff is not quite up to that standard - it's a different sort of universe, which doesn't appeal to me quite as much, but your mileage may vary.

Noted. It sounds delicious. I loved Midgar.
