Okay, NOW I'm back.

Man, I have to stop taking such long absences... >.> On the lighter side, though, I'm pretty much done with all my studying and tests for a while, so I've got some time for NoobFeed now! :) Expect me to be a lot more active now.

 

So, what's been going on here... we've finally got some snowstorms. Almost a foot the other day, and a few inches before that. It's just not a New England winter without power outages and road closings due to snow and ice. :P

 

Oh, I recently splurged a little bit on a few things. Here's what I got, starting with my favorite, and going down:

 

Grandia II Soundtrack: Povo (2 of 2)

 

DAMMIT, this was near-impossible to track down. >.> Finally managed to get it on eBay. Everyone else wanted $50+ for it, and there's no way I'm spending that much on a CD.

The second of two CDs that contain the soundtrack for Grandia II, composed by Noriyuki Iwadare. This one's got Millenia on the front, and contains the more sad, slow tracks from the game. Long story short, this is the best soundtrack I've ever heard, and among the greatest CDs I've heard. If you have a few free minutes, try listing to a couple of my favorite tracks; Skye's Reminiscence, Despair and Hope, The Mythical World, Elegy, and Cancao Do Povo. I'm gonna hunt down the other CD if I can.

 

Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn

 

The tenth game in the Fire Emblem series, and the fourth one to be released outside Japan. Also the sequel to the ninth game, Path of Radiance. This game is good. REALLY good. Probably the next game I'll review. I'm having quite a bit of fun with it, due to the amazing characters, classic Fire Emblem gameplay, and a difficulty level that is, at best, horrifying. I'd recommend against this one if you're not a hardcore strategist.

 

Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door

 

An old Gamecube game, and one of my favorites. Very weird and funny, but also an incredible RPG. There's really no way to explain this game, other than another Paper Mario game.

 

2000 Wii Points

2000 points to spend on the Wii's Virtual Console (a collection of games from old Nintendo/Sega consoles). I spent 1500 so far, on the following two games:

 

Final Fantasy

 

The original Final Fantasy for the NES, old glitches and all. Easily the single best game in the series, even with all the old-fashioned graphics and playing styles. A definite must-buy for fans of the series.

 

Paper Mario

 

Another fairly old game, dating back to the N64. The first game in the series. As I said, Paper Mario games are weird and hard to explain, but fun.

 

So that's about it for me... hopefully I can get back to checking on your blogs soon. See you all later, here's your picture. :)
