practicality: (Tax Season // Evil!Tatsumi)
Dear Western Digital, I love you and your five year warranties so much right now. I also love that I didn't have anything irreplaceable on the 640 GB drive I totally fried yesterday while trying to put it in its new tower. Yeah, I'm awesome, I know. At least I installed the wireless card without frying it, although as the tower has no boot drive, all I can do is run boot CDs and sigh along until my new drive comes in.

Back in Vancouver, with car in hand. I'll post the last two days of the trip and some photos once I actually get them off my phone (who was too lazy to dig out the digicam on the drive? Yeah, me). Have to drive my mother back down to Seattle for her flight tomorrow, but at least the house will be nice and quiet after.

Started playing Tales of the Abyss. Luke is a brat, Jade is definitely leaning towards Magnificent Bastard status. And is very pretty, ngh.

Ooh Abyss! I'm surprised you haven't played that. Its one of the best Tales games (well second best because I think Tales of Vesperia is their best) out there. Luke gets much better, as the game progresses, but Jade will always be a Magnificent Bastard.

I've only recently started into the Tales games, unfortunately XD And given that pretty much every other character in the game thinks Luke's a brat too, I guessed as much.

Personally, I thought the writers went a bit overboard in making the other characters dump on Luke. Seriously, if you take into account the context of who he is, he's not any more annoying than most amnesiac teenagers with a fetish for older men. And if you take into account of who he REALLY is, then its even more forgivable. Besides, its a terrible double standard when another party member did a worse thing and everyone forgave easily, but I can't really say who because its a spoiler. But oh well, its typical JRPG fare.

oh ouch

Glad you're back, though!

also the best part (read: only part I liked) of Abyss was Luke, I thought. He gets interesting after SPOILERS, especially~

I was seriously going to cry until I realized it was still under warranty. The files are more an annoyance than anything - it was just mustic, which is 100% backed up on my mp3 player, and videos, which are 90% backed up on CD/DVDs. Will have to re-torrent a few things over again - but I did not have $70 for a new drive.

Also I'm pretty sure I know the spoilers you mean as I made the mistake of reading through Cherry's bio for Luke for TST.
