So I don't want to brag and crow about how I got my copy of Rebirth a couple of days early, but... Who am I kidding, I absolutely want to do that! :D Although I was on the verge of thinking that it wouldn't show until today (which, y'know, still great, still early!) when I got a knock on the door at 7.45. PM, you understand. Who's still doing deliveries at that time???

Anyway, I've played through the first chapter and I'm wandering around Kalm getting hooked on Queen's Blood. It is, of course, wonderful and amazing, and I'm enjoying every minute of it, but... Wow, Square didn't learn their lesson from Remake, did they? I'm playing on graphics mode, and while there's times it's breathtakingly beautiful, there's others where... Uh, hopefully there'll be a patch to fix some of the lighting. And the pop in.

Minor bugbear though, I'll cope. ;)

Well, that's it. The CEO cowarded out though - was advised that due to "medical reasons" he shouldn't fly out. Sure, ok, I totally believe that when he has another flight booked into his calendar on Wednesday. Didn't even show up virtually, just left it to our Director to read a pre-prepared statement. Amazing.

On the plus side, I've been motoring through Togainu no Chi while waiting for my consultation meeting. I love the game, I really do, but god damn if Keisuke's route doesn't make you sick of the word Akira... XD

Long time, no post? I keep meaning to, but it's been a real rollercoaster the past year or so, from flat woes (refurbishments, potentially losing the place, having a flatmate run out on a 12-month contract after a month...) to work (making almost all of the staff below us redundant), it's been exhausting.

Which isn't to say that there haven't been good things - got to go Japan and do the whole Granrodeo thing again, and I fell hard for FFXVI in a way I haven't for a Final Fantasy in quite some time. Plus I'm about to become an aunt, which I guess is a good thing? XD

But, yesterday, exactly one year after the last redundancies and us keeping the shambling zombie corpse of the company going as best we could, we got unofficially told that they're getting rid of the rest of us. Best of all, it sounds like bastard CEO of the company that bought and then systematically ruined us in the first place will be flying in to tell us in person. Because we're really going to want to see him...

Geez... Merry fucking Christmas, right?

Due to certain recent events I've decided to make my LJ friends only. I doubt it'll affect anyone, but if you'd like to be added (and aren't a scary stalker-type person) just drop me a comment and I'll be happy to add you. :P
