Inspired by some comments on Jo's latest game-rant - I can't stand PC gamers with superiority complexes. The fact that your PC costs more than my PS2 does not make you a better person than me, nor does it automatically mean your games are better. There are good games for the PC, and there are bad, just as there are for all the consoles, and all the handhelds out there. And different systems have different sets of good games - this is why I don't play our Xbox at all - from what I've seen, the vast majority of excellent Xbox games are first-person shooters, which hold basically no appeal to me. However, I don't spend my time more or less calling people who do like those - or, hell, PC gamers, for that matter - idiots. And no, this isn't directed at anyone probably actually reading this - I'm mostly just venting so I don't bite anyone's head off over there.
On to fun things! I finished Code: Veronica tonight, so some final assorted thoughts on that, which I will cut this time for spoilers - there are one or two people reading this that haven't played C:V and might.
I would almost feel sorry for Alfred if he wasn't trying to kill me. Because he's so totally pathetic. He's so obsessed with his genius crazy-bitch twin sister that while she's cryogenically frozen he dresses up and pretends to be her, and has conversations with himself. That's just...there are no words, really. Alexia, on the other hand, is really scary, as already mentioned. But she has a pretty voice. And sings. And then the song gets stuck in my head and gives me wierd dreams argh.
I was also kind of sad that Steve died (although I won't be at all surprised if he's back later, what with Wesker's miracles of science and all) - he was a little annoying, but mostly just amusing, and kinda dorky-cute.
On the subject of Wesker - the ending cutscene between him and Chris was the most awesome RE cutscene outside of 4 (It's not really fair to compare the rest of the games to 4, honestly). Wesker is so evil. And awesome. And this game gave more fodder to the 'daddy Wesker' jokes. Because he does control the hunters. To quote Ben, "They know who their true master is. And they love him."
Next up on the RE list - RE:0! But in the meantime I'm going to take a break and work on my KH replay some.

That's okay, I can't either. Xbox controllers are obviously not built for small Asian hands. :/ Hence why I played KotOR on the PC, and why I only played Jade Empire on the Xbox because I had no other choice. XD
And dude...that conversation in Ari's blog was pissing me off so bad at 8am this morning. :/ I mean, normally I am pretty pissy when I'm awake at 8am anyway...but the COMPLETE AND TOTAL pretention going on with
=_____=
I wanted to hit her with my PS2 controller. *rolls eyes* Only idiots get into PC vs. console turf wars, seriously. :/
And as for the whole Japanese vs. NA thing...I dunno. I go through phases. All I know for sure right now is that the gaming industry is in desperate need of a revolution. It's been a long, long time since we've seen the great landmark games that stand the test of time and remake the industry. Planetfall, Myst, Civilization, stuff like that. There is awesome work coming from the NA end with Will Wright and Spore, and awesome work always coming from the Japanese end (it's just their RPGs I'm horrendously sick of and wish I could quit), especially with the Nintendo Revolution.
But god, I'm just looking for something new, something not totally repetitive that I haven't done a million times over. *shrugs*
And I've just realized I'm sounding pretentious so I'll shut the hell up. :3

And I'm largely indifferent to where my games come from, although I am Squeenix's bitch (I sold them part of my soul for FF7 and FFX and they never gave it back ;;), and Capcom's cheap whore for DMC and RE. I usually don't even remember which developers make which games, and where they're based, for the most part XD;
