In which I do nothing but play video games.

[tsubasahome]

I actually worked a lot on Lauren's sweater, though, so it's not like I REALLY do nothing but play video games. But I figured they're a safe topic because it's not like I'm the only person out there who plays these games, so maybe somebody out there will find it interesting.

Well, if there's anybody interested, I'm sure they're far, far away. ^^; But I'd rather talk about that than my boring personal stuff, so here's me rambling on pointlessly about Tales of Legendia, lj-cut for your convenience.

Right now I'm doing Will's Character Quest, otherwise known as Harriet is a Stupid Brat. If the childfree community ever needed a poster child, there you have it... -_-;;;; During the part when you have to chase that suicidal couple, and Will makes Harriet look after the baby and it won't stop crying, I swear it looked like she was going to toss the kid off the ledge. And then Will gets all fatherly and comforts the baby and we all realize that his seiyuu is probably one of the only ones in the game who can act. But they certainly were laying on the angst a bit thick. But since unlike some of the other Tales games ::cough::Symphonia::cough::, Legendia actually has a good script, so I was giggling rather than rolling my eyes at the height of it. Harriet is such a stupid little brat, I wish somebody would have hauled off and slapped her. It's not like she's just rotten to Will. She's rotten to everybody. I like the part where Norma asks her out of the blue if she hates her, and Harriet responds, "I don't like you." And I swear at one point early in the Character Quest, she kneed Senel in the groin. I have more of a weakness to people being mean to their parents/siblings than sappy romantic scenes or characters dying, as far as angst goes, so I admit that my eyes got a little teary when Harriet told her daddy that she wished that he had died instead of her mommy, and Will gets all silent and sad and slinks off to the room that he secretly made for his stupid daughter and stands there with the lights off. And no, I didn't cry when Stella died. I was too busy laughing at the overly melodramatic song that started playing at such a contrived time that it was like the director wanted to say, "Yes, folks, she's dead. No doubt about it."

I also laughed when Walter died, but that was because he was such a pointless character, and I couldn't stand him.
