First Post!

As of late, I have been quite busy with work and college, and the free time I have been able to squeen out have been spent playing one of my favorite games in the world on my DSi.

First, let me tell you a story. A long while ago, say, the 7th grade, I had a DS and I played the first Final Fantasy Tactics. I had fallen in love. Leveling up characters, completing quests at my leisure, creating the most powerful clan in the world, I could not pull myself away. At one point, I was stuck at the final battle, but I was determined to complete it.

HOWEVER. One day I left it at my fathers house over the weekend. I went through a little withdrawal, but I knew I would get it back that Monday. Excited, I ran to my Dad's and into my room to find it was not there. Where could my DS have gone? Not to mention my game! My father comes into my room and asks me, "Hey, Would you like a PSP?"
"Uhh... sure.... but I'd like to finish the game on my DS first."
"Oh, well, I already traded that in, so here is your new PSP!"

I accepted the gift with shaky hands and with a thank you, I thought my heart was going to explode. That horrible feeling of knowing you were about to finish a game to just have it ripped out of your grasp right before the final boss. Overall, at that moment it became my life goal to get my DS back and finish Final Fantasy Tactics.

My PSP grew a thick layer of dust over the summer and finally, after 2 years of never playing it, I traded it in for 120$ of Game Stop credit. When I told my Father, he vowed to never buy me anything again even after I explained to him my dilemma.

I spent my Game Stop credits on DeadSpace - which my laptop is not capable of playing... - and the last World of Warcraft Expansion - WHICH WAS AWESOME.

Over the years, every time my Father asked what I wanted for a Holiday I always asked for a DS. Which I never got. But my theory is that no matter how many times I ask, he cannot say no every single time. That's how he finally let me start driving his car. HA!

Finally as a graduation gift, my Father finally got me a Black DSi. I thought I was going to poop myself with joy. I spent what was left of my graduation money getting Final fantasy Tactics A2 and life was good. With 156hours to my name, Final Fantasy Tactics A2 had taken over my life. Every moment I had free would be spent questing for items and completing the 250+ quests with perfection. I was obsessed. Even during some of my lectures, I would secretly be playing under the desk. I was determined to finish.

Sadly, I accidentally finished the game without completing all the quests, so now it sits on my desk with a sad disappointed feeling lingering about it.
I finally finished Final Fantasy Tactics though, and my life has a slight feeling of accomplishment.

Until next story time,
