Time off is a bad thing

[jdotmi]

I'm starting to come to the conclusion that taking a weekend off of work here and there for various social events is a bad thing. Why? Simple. I now crave time off.

I didn't used to care. I worked pretty much every day and was fine with it. I mean, my schedules used to work out so I had a legitimate day off (usually Monday) but I've been doing seven days a week for so long that it feels weird to take time off. In fact, I'm sitting here today wishing that I had the day off. I'd much rather be at home relaxing. Hell, I'd much rather be at home cleaning, and we all know how much I just love to clean...

That was sarcasm. If you didn't get it, please get back on the bus. No, not that bus. The short bus.

I'm going home tonight after work. dianak isn't feeling well, so I'm not going to risk catching whatever and keeping her from resting and drinking lots of fluids today. I'll do some laundry, maybe vacuum a little bit, and waffle between playing Unlimited SaGa or Neverwinter Nights. :-p I could be doing stuff all day at home, but, nooooo. I work seven days a week.

Damn. It better be a good different. I played Romancing Saga 3 (yay for people who translate Famicom games for SNES emulators!) and loved it. SaGa Frontier was marginally different, but lovely and addictive all the same.

SaGa Frontier 2 sucked royal ass. I could not get into that game at all. It's not even quite like Legend of Mana where I sort of thought "This doesn't feel like Secret of Mana" but I still got into it. SF2 blew chunks the size of Texas. Unlimited SaGa isn't that bad is it?

Well I'm not going to be the best judge because I really enjoyed SF2. ;-) I liked it better than SF1.

Of course, I started with Final Fantasy Legend II (gotta love the way they renamed it for the U.S. release) so I'm a little more used to have a more coherent story.

Unlimited SaGa is very very different from the other games. Whether that is good or not I'm not sure yet. I've only played it for about an hour so far. :-p

Well, different could be good. Maybe I ought to give SF2 a second chance. I think I only played it for about an hour or two tops. I think what I really didn't like about it was how extremely linear it was, and the massive lack of "action" I seemed to experience.

[jdotmi.livejournal.com]

It is more linear, yeah. I had a lot of shit happening, of course, I got all the way to the final character's storyline before stopping.

Of course, I liked SaGa Frontier I and only ever finished Asellus once, T260G, and Red. Never finished anyone else.

One problem I am having with Unlimited is that I'm a little unclear (ok, a LOT unclear) as to the effect of some spells and abilities. I'm sure it'll all make sense at some point, and if I eventually manage to find a strategy guide that will help too, but, yeah, that word.

Yes, strat guides and Gamefaqs.com are the only things that I ever use to help me when I'm in a bind. I didn't really need either for the first SF. And I loved that game. I beat it with everyone and keep my Asellus file as my "perfect" file.

Perhaps I should go scouring the net for info on Unlimited. It sounds intriguing in it's differences.

I was looking for stuff online, but gamefaqs only has a single faq for playing as Judy, but it doesn't tell you jack about the spells and abilities.

Well, I could go look and see if they updated today I guess...
