illusion_is_mine My week was surprisingly good. I've had a new rule when it comes to idiot people in public, or at work I just ignore them. I downloaded a NES emulator app for my phone, and that's been a good distraction from people lately. In particular the psycho girl at my job that I felt like was stalking me at a certain point even took the hint. I've also realized that I get along better with people a lot older than me, as opposed to people my own age. It's always been that way for me honestly.
My parents and I have been trying to get everything ready for the Panama trip this summer. I'm excited about leaving the country for the first time. I need a break from Texas. The people here put me in such a foul mood sometimes I feel like I need a vacation from this place.
I bought some new video game stuff. I've been on a huge final fantasy kick lately (like most days), and I decided to complete some of my FF collection and get these guys.
I'm a sucker for older JRPG's so I had to get these. Also Squre Enix had a huge sale for the 20th anniversary of Final Fantasy so I got both of these for about $10 a piece. Not too bad for new games.
Also I got these because my last gameboy I bought didn't have a backlit screen so I settled for this Japanese Gameboy Advance SP in blue. Also These 2 games, as well as Street Fighter V which isn't pictured here. I still have a few issues with the way Capcom is marketing SFV so I'm slightly pissed off at them. They basically thought it was a good idea to charge you for like 2 separate seasons of DLC which is criminal. Luckily for me the Playstation store had season 1's dlc on sale for $9.99 so I went ahead and bought season 1. I got that deluxe edition of Titanfall 2 for only $25 on ebay brand new. I've been finding some great deals lately. Titanfall 2 is amazing so far! I love how they expanded on the last game, and made a one player campaign mode for this one.
Aside from video games I've been listening to a bit of music. I've been listening to lots of Balance and Composure, Code Orange, Anathema, Kamelot, Katatonia, Lacuna Coil, D'espairsray, Title Fight, and a few others.
Also I heard the new Linkin Park song, and it's not what I expected from them. I think they've forgotten they're a rock band...lol. I mean I guess it's not completely terrible for a pop song, but it's not what I would expect from them. Needless to say I probably won't be buying their new album. I guess I should have predicted they would go more in this direction considering the past few singles they've been putting out. I do like the female vocals in the song a lot more than Chester's. If she wasn't in the song it would probably be really boring. Chester's vocals have really gone downhill in the past couple of years.

Date: 2017-02-25 01:04 am (UTC)I felt like that about Texas when I lived there, but now that I live in Florida I feel like I don't know what I had lol. But in general I think it is good to have a change of scenery every now and then.
I've never seen that handheld before- it's cute!
I stumbled upon the new LP song coincidentally when I was watching a video of them playing an old Street Fighter game haha. I like the female vocals too. I actually know of Kiiara from her song Gold that's been pretty popular. But yeah RIP Chester's voice.

That's the Japanese Gameboy Advance SP I think they released at launch. I really like it, and it works great.
Lol, I need to find that video of them playing Street Fighter. That would make my day.
Kiiara's voice is really nice, and suits the song well. I need to keep up with newer artists more tbh. Chester's voice has been going downhill for a while. I'm assuming it's all the screaming that messed it up. I know that happens to a lot of rock, and metal singers after a while.
