A weird day, overall, but as I write this, I'm smiling again. I woke up, and as I was reading my friends LJ's, everyone, it seemed, was feeling some sort of discontent. It usually happens so that everyone seems to get depressed, upset, angsty, etc, all at the same time. However, when I read Sarah's happy entry, a knot grew in my stomach, and worry entered my mind, and I knew I had to talk to Sarah. Meanwhile, I did some work for my Computing class, and went to my Modern World class. After, I had an hour before I left for work, so I did some more of my Computing work. I went to work, and it was fun, and busy. Tomorrow, McD gets greeted by the McInquisition to do inspection, so much cleaning was done. I got back, only to find out that the Internet was out, so despite my finishing my Computing work to submit, I couldn't submit--Internet's out, so I have to wait until tomorrow. Professor can't penalize me. Chatted with April for a bit, and she went to sleep around midnight.
Then I talked to Sarah online, and spent the next 90 minutes on the phone with her, and we chatted. My worry was greatly alleviated, and by conversation's end, I felt quite happy. It went from serious to fun and games, and here I am smiling.
And yes...Nobuo Uematsu is retiring from Square Enix...after almost 20 years of making FF music, someone else will be taking up the position. Since FF12's music will be made up of entirely new people, I'm anxious to hear what they come up with. Uematsu's only putting in 1 piece to the game. To compose ALL the music for all the FF games 1-9, plus the little offshoots like Tactics, etc...good job.
I've begun making a list of video game villains for the next Into the Lifestream/Fantasy World character battle contest, to begin in January. I need probably 140-160 villains altogether, and I'm hoping to get most of them from games as far back as N64/PS and moving up. Of course, I'll throw in some classics. However, nothing's been finalized, and I've just started throwing ideas and possibilities. Here's what I have so far, subject to change at any time:
Master Hand—SSBM (GC, N64)
Dr. Robotnik—Sonic (GEN)
Shao Kahn—MK (SNES)

Liquid Snake—MGS (PS)
