You better pay that apple, you sonova...
Stuff bought online and to be arriving in the next couple of weeks:
- Kino no Tabi DVD boxset
- Okami Garyou Tensei (unless it gets eaten by the mail AGAIN!)
The latter means that my PayPal apparently works just fine. Hurray!
Oh, and I've learned that a part of my problems with the PS2 comes from one of the Magic Keys not having enough glue. Then again, it can be more or less solved thanks to another one of my problems: since I have to leave the tray open, I can push it every five minutes or so to make sure it doesn't move. Amazingly so, I've managed to play up to Engeve with this method! Now to find a tube of superglue...
My thoughts on playing Abyss like this: actually, I'm quite fond of the gameplay so far. True, so far I've only fought warthogs, bees, birds, and Oddish-like beings, but... I like my button-smashing in my Tales, what can I say.
Like I said, I arrived to Engeve, in which I managed to find:
- spaghetti recipe, om nom nom
- poultry and rappigs (BTW, there's a difference between pork and rappig meat. But since I have yet to see normal pigs, does that mean the pork is the warthog bastards?! eww)
- Jade ♥
- Ion
- Anise
- the valuable lesson of not buying food ingredients before upgrading weapons. DUMBASS
In other news, I think I never mentioned I'm replaying Symphonia, did I? Well, I am. I'm about to get to the Meltokio sewers. Incidentally, I went through the "hard path" on Sylvarant this time, to see the differences. And in this playthrough, I'm consciously not avoiding battles to level up well.
And the other challenge: I'm set to get Zelos as my BFF this time. It makes the hard path look easy in comparison.
Important ETA: We're in alert for storm again for this weekend. So if I never appear on the chan tonight, that means my Internet and/or electric power is dead. *recharges her DS just in case*

Did you at least get a refund for the first one?
BTW, I ordered Tales of Symphonia, and it arrived today! Haven't checked it with the GC yet to see if the discs can be read, but I'm feeling hopeful since I finally got a working Pikmin.

This time I'm trying with another store. It's out of stock in the other one anyway.
Oh, awesome! I hope this one works as well.
no subject
Tested both discs last night, and they worked! Haven't started playing yet, 'cause I'm still in the middle of another game. Plus, the combat system looks intimidating after Zelda's relatively simple sword-swinging and turn-based combat. Any pointers?
no subject
Ah, yeah, it looks intimidating. To be fair, there are options I've never even touched, like combos and ex skills and stuff. But you get used to it, eventually. There are pretty good guides here (http://www.gamefaqs.com/console/gamecube/game/561316.html) for strategies and techniques and all that.
