  I Love Final Fantasy, but Geez...

  So for the last few weeks, GameFaqs has been running its annual "Best Videogame Character" event in which users can vote each day for their favorite character. The list originally consisted of around 125 characters, and 4 characters go head to head every day until only one remains. It's been fun, and I cannot wait to see who the winner turns out to be. My issue however, is that I can almost guarantee that it will be a Final Fantasy character...I would put money on Cloud or Sephiroth. While both of those are great characters, the thing that really bugs me is that any FF character always wins its bracket. Today, for instance, Auron is winning. Now Auron is a cool guy with a big sword and a kickin' voice, but c'mon people...best character ever? I don't think so. He is beating Bowser...yeah...the Bowser...and Ryu from Street Fighter. As the title says...I love Final Fantasy, I have played them all since FFII came out for the SNES, but I am not some mindless fanboy who has to vote for a character simply because they were in the series at some point. I really apologize for sounding like a broken record here, but it has just been bugging me for a few days now, and I felt compelled to moan and complain about it.

  P.S.- This is going to tick alot of people off, but just think about it before you call me crazy, stupid, etc. Sephiroth is not the greatest character ever...he's not even the greatest Final Fantasy villian. He is simply a momma's boy. He is Norman Bates, but on a planet-wide scale. Albeit he looks really frickin' cool, and has a big a$$ sword to boot, but yeah...momma's boy. Kefka could take him any day.

  It Starts

  I knew that this quarter was going to break me, and the money has officially begun to drain from my wallet. I have already bought Zelda: Phantom hourglass and paid off Tabula Rasa, although the next day they announced it was getting pushed back. I still have to buy Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Mass Effect, Super Mario Galaxy, and Hellgate: London...and that's just the one's off the top of my head. So needless to say, I'm going to be broke for the rest of the year.

  Why don't studios release games throughout the year instead of going insane at holiday time? I know there have been a few exceptions this year, but all in all, the majority of stellar titles are coming out in the next few months. It really ticks me off that instead of having quality games all year, I am forced to break the bank, and squeeze in the gametime for all of these titles.

  Anyway, just thought I would get that off my chest. I know everyone harps about this, but maybe the industry will start paying attention if we keep voicing our concerns.

  Not to Be Missed!

  This is simply to tell everyone to watch "Death Proof". Amazing, amazing movie. I bought it last week, and I have watched it four times already. It is one of Tarantino's best films to date, and I highly recommend it to everyone. I don't want to say too much about it and ruin for anyone, so just go see it. Now I just have to wait for "Terror Planet" to come out. (Also worth seeing is "Knocked Up". Solid comedy by the writer/director of "40 Year Old Virgin".)
