Receipt

nobody@vox.com(fetjuel) — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 21:12:34 -0800

This is the receipt for our new clothes washer. I recently needed to refer to it for a rebate. Specifically, I was looking for the two most important pieces of information on the document: the thing I bought, and how much it cost. Those two thing...

Mad Skillz

nobody@vox.com(fetjuel) — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 23:28:59 -0700

Playing Xenogears in Japanese is pretty strange. I’ve known and loved the game for 10 years now, but never knew it in its original form. Part of the charm of the original game was its sometimes inspired, sometimes abysmal localization. It was fun ...

Xenoyears: Nortune

nobody@vox.com(fetjuel) — Mon, 12 Oct 2009 17:48:39 -0700

I'm getting into parts of Xenogears that I don't remember at all. Everything past beating Redrum and winning the gear battling tournament in D Block seems new to me. I didn't even remember the existence of Sigmund, for instance. The game is really...

Cross-posted from A Reyvateil's Melody again. In the Gust supporters newsletter, they just announced that there will be an Ar tonelico-related announcement at the Akihabara Enta-Matsuri this year. They will reveal the topic on October 15, and t...

Xenoyears

nobody@vox.com(fetjuel) — Sun, 20 Sep 2009 23:24:06 -0700

I've gotten past the beginning bits of Xenogears; what I'm playing now is what I haven't seen since first playing it 10 years ago. Being back in these places that I only vaguely remember (like Nisan), but that were very meaningful to me back then...

Xenogears 10-year anniversary playthrough go go!

nobody@vox.com(fetjuel) — Mon, 14 Sep 2009 19:00:51 -0700

(I stayed up until 4:00 last Monday and finished Persona 3. The last boss wasn't as bad as I'd expected!) I have wanted to play through Xenogears again since… well, since I first finished it in Christmas break of 1999. The 10-year anniversary o...

End Rush

nobody@vox.com(fetjuel) — Mon, 07 Sep 2009 03:40:51 -0700

Julian came over and was all excited to have me finish Persona 3. Until he saw how weak my personas were, and how few minerals I had for buying cards. Now I'm running around lower Tartaros blocks, with enemies fleeing in fear, while I look for rar...

Escape from spell checking in Mac OS X once and for all

nobody@vox.com(fetjuel) — Thu, 03 Sep 2009 12:12:20 -0700

The condescending dotted red underlines were driving me insane. It seemed like nearly every time I typed anything, the computer was chastising me, “WRONG, WRONG, WRONG!” It’s surprisingly out of line with Apple’s usual hands-off policy for users’...

So close to the end, and P3 is really starting to feel like P2 did: the menace is working its way through society in the form of rumor and hysteria. Strega's message about Nyx is in secret areas on the internet, on flyers posted around town, and ...
