Yesterday, I finally beat Persona 3, and it only took me 70+ hours to beat. If you count the amount of times I died painful, brutal deaths, it took me 80+ hours. 10 hours of death? Yes. I think Persona 3 is the only game in recent memory that has made me drop/throw my controller in anger/disgust, and I’ve played Mega Man 9. The sad part is that I have the FES version; it comes with a second part that you get to play after the first. Atlus says the second part is 30+ hours long, and they’re probably right. I would be all over that if it wasn’t for one tiny fact: Final Frickin’ Fantasy XIII.
I’ve bought a PS3 for FF XIII (that, and God of War 3) since the XBox 360 version is subpar. I considered taking the day off of work, but I settled with just leaving work early. I got FF XIII at midnight, and the moment I get home, I shall be glued to my TV until I have to sleep. That’s the one thing I miss about being and undergrad (if I ignore the semester I took Advanced Calculus 1): the absurd amount of free time I had. I definitely didn’t work for 40 hours a week. I could always postpone doing my homework for a day. However, I can’t just not come to work without using my sweet, sweet vacation time. But alas, work allows me to just buy a PS3 because I feel like it, so work I must. I’ve heard some unpleasant things about FF XIII, but Final Fantasy games get the benefit of the doubt from me, since I’ve found all the ones since FF VI to be enjoyable.
Speaking of vacation time (and getting a bit off-topic), I kinda want to take a week off of work to do absolutely nothing. I don’t want to go anywhere, do anything, visit anyone, or have anyone visit me. I just want to sit at home, and not be productive. But I kinda feel like that would be a waste of vacation time, especially considering I only get 3 weeks of it per year. On the other hand, I usually spend my vacation days going to visit family, and traveling to Missouri/Alabama is a time consuming task. It would be nice to just take time off and not have to drive anywhere. And it’s not like I really have any desire to travel to some far off land. Well, I kind a want to go to Japan, but I never want to go to Montréal again. It’s like going to France, except everyone is Canadian. And you know what they say about Canadians: they have awesome health care.
