When I sat down to replay FFVI this year, I expected something new, as I decided to play through what was, essentially, a text / difficulty hack of the game, but the only thing I really came away with was the thing I least expected: a new a favorite character.

Shadow (Final Fantasy VI)

So, what changed here? Well, let's start with what didn't change: Shadow is a lot of fun to play with, and he's been tied for my favorite ...

Sometimes I realize the amusing state of the Mega Man franchise, where the company doesn't particularly care about it, but fans and other developers (or the original dev) still do.

You know, I always see this blog button at the top of the site and have that odd urge to do something with it. Unfortunately, I am also constantly gripped by the general inability to come up with anything interesting to write about, since, as it turns out, I'm a pretty damn boring guy, something maybe a bit less than facilitative.

At least, assuming you enjoy the games to any extent that is, otherwise they are, I imagine, ...
