leene_chan | I Like Food.

Or rather, I've been hungry all the time lately. Which is okay because we still have apples. Maybe the problem is that I've been eating so many apples that I haven't been consuming enough protein. ^o^;...I picked up some seaweed salad from the grocery store. Supermarket sushi is always disgusting but the seaweed salad isn't too bad. I'm ignoring the mention of MSG on the ingredient list. I'm sure that a lot of the food I eat has MSG in it. I know curry mix does. I remember reading in Cooks Illustrated that the whole fuss about MSG causing fatal allergic reactions was actually related to room-temperature rice but it was never cleared up. Hrm hrm hrm. No one's taking my seaweed salad away from me!

Pluto in TOP is too frigging hard. I have half a mind to give up on him. I've been exploring Dhaos' castle and so far the enemies are much easier than the ones in the Morlia Gallery. It's like I'm on a relaxing vacation. Oh well, I'm sure Dhaos will kick my ass but he has to be easier than Pluto! He has to be! O_O Cless is currently at level 87. I thought I'd have this game finished within the next week but if I want to beat Pluto I'll probably be leveling up for months. Maybe I'm just not hardcore enough. I can't play for 10 hours a day. =_=

On the TOS front, I'm happy to announce that I now hate Shihna along with the rest of the cast. Damn! I thought she was all right but the way she fawns over Collet is very annoying. Also, her voice irritates me. They should not have played her character for laughs. I know I shouldn't be comparing this game to TOP, but if you're a summoner where are your tattoos, lady?

Now I'm not going to start flapping my arms around crowing "OMG TOD2 is sooo much better than TOS!" That game had some serious cheese and the difficulty was ridiculous at times. But TOS just plain sucks! I am starting to worry about how Tales of the Abyss will turn out even though I did preorder it. Oh well.. I feel sorry for Tear because she looks like a man and people don't seem to like her. Jade is kind of hot (but 35??!! Koyasu again!! brown-haired necromancer with glasses huge rip-off of Lezard Valeth!!) He also bears a striking resemblence to Max Genius from the original Macross and I guess that's kind of interesting. ^o^...

Mwahh haa haa...I can't believe they gave Luke the same voice as Arima from KareKano! O_o From the trailer I don't think he sounds thaaaat bad but I hope that they don't use that as an excuse to conduct half the game with cardboard cutouts.
