Please, Don't Cry

I know you all will miss me dearly while I'm gone for the next week. Well, I'm coming back on Thursday, but does it really matter? It's all the same for I know I'll be sorely missed.

Dramatic pose, and exit! Stage left!

Wicked Was Wicked (Oh, the Puns)

Seriously, it was good. The singing was fanatical (I'm pretty sure that's a word)/fantastic, the story was cool, the humor was humorous (oh, I'm so funny) and made me laugh very muchly, and the way it was integrated into the original story--that would be the Wizard of Oz, not the book-- was nicely done. In a quick phrase, I would like to say: Go see it or I shall own your soul.

No, not really.

And I've got other things to complain about that would make this an insanely long post, but I'm deciding to procrastinate and put it off. I'll come back tomorrow. Maybe. If I feel like it.

omg preveiw!!1!

I was going to post my opinion on the musical Wicked, which I saw on tour yesterday night at the Aronoff Center. Note the usage of the words of "I was going to." I'm just procrastinating.

I might do it tomorrow. I might not.

Yay Summaries

Here's the past week of my life in a short list, because I don't feel like typing it all out.

Math sucks because the teacher is a moron. The other students in my science class are morons. Hockey games are fun to go to, and the restaurant Pub 45 on the Miami (Ohio) University in Oxford has good food. And... something fun happened on Friday that I can't remember, and it was very exciting.

I now give you permission to carry on with your lives.

Oh Noes!

I think I'm becoming dense or something. I just noticed Azrael (once again, from the BK Forums) has a blog. And I see posts by him almost every day.

Some Geeks Just Can't Stop Complaining

Okay, so Tales of Phantasia is the first game in the classic "Tales of" series. It has several versions (three, in fact) on the SNES, PSX, and the GBA. Recently, Nintendo released an English version on the GBA. However, with the GBA being a console mostly owned by children (complete guess), they edited it a bit. Here's a rough list of what I know:

1) They changed some of the battle backgrounds. Not a big deal.

2) They changed some of the names to make it easier to pronounce. Most notably is "Cless" to "Cress" (which is actually more a common thing since the 'l' in Japanese sounds like 'r' [or it's the other way around, I don't know]) and "Klarth" to "Claus." Mind you, the names were generally in katakana--or another one of the ways you can write in Japanese-- so the names listed were basically fan-made.

Seriously, I don't see why people complain the names. The fans were mostly right, and it just happens the translators thought the names were spelled differently. But no, people can't just accept the change.

3) And, oh my gosh, they used English voice acting. How dare the developers use voices most of the American audience can understand? It's horrible! I mean, only the real hard-core fans would possibly buy this game, especially since it won't be in most gamestores where other people could buy it.

All in all, the fans who continue to complain about this need to shut up. If you think the translation is so horrible, then go play your imported version. Because we all know you have one, Japanese wannabees.
