My 200mm case fan is dying, and I really don't feel like getting a new one, so I just took the side of my case off to help ventilate lol.

That's the exact one too. It's on the top of my case and it's spinning super slow... I triple checked the molex cables, nothing wrong there, so I guess it's just finally dying out. I really don't feel like replacing it since I have plans to get a new PC by no later than March anyways, so for now I'll just have the guts exposed for extra ventilation lol.

I wish it was snowing now :p
Whoo bought Patapon 2 for the PSP and now I can't get the beats out of my head D:

I think I wore disguise glasses with that fake nose and mustache when I went in to buy FFX-2. I'd have to hire someone to buy XIII-2 for me if I ever stoop that low.

I think the biggest problem I had with 13 wasn't the story or the characters or even the linearity but the music. The techno stuff just didn't appeal to me and (to me) it wasn't memorable at all. Good music can make a mediocre game great and a bad music can make a good game (story and characters) mediocre. If the music had been different I think I would've enjoyed it a lot more :/

I can tolerate a mediocre story, melodrama, and linearity, but when the music was so poorly placed to the point where it was overbearing and annoying rather than supportive and captivating, I had to give up playing the damned thing. Fae, I got this flower sceptre item from spanking Belgemine but it's nowhere to be seen in my inventory, is that supposed to happen o.o ?

Sunleth Waterscape without the techno stuff is great. It's the techno I don't like because there's too much of it, a few songs would've been fine but it's in like every track. I know it's been used in previous titles but not to that extent.

What about the cheap hip-hop 'rap' and heavy metal that replaced Uematsu's majestic work in 13-2 lol. Music in 13 was bearable, music in 13-2 just crushed me to my very soul. I did like the Sunleth Waterscape though. Hmm I'm thinking I still feel neurotic today. /bounces out of the room
To be fair Urial, not every track was awful. Some were absolutely sublime and beautiful (as per your example). But throughout the game, there were many that were unnecessarily vocal, or stretched the genre per setting so poorly that it stuck out like a sore thumb rather than luring me into what was happening, which is what music should do for a game. Simply, I wish it was more consistent with previous final fantasies rather than experimenting to the point of it being painfully bad and misplaced. But alas, there's still nuggets of gold in there.
Honestly techno or not, the foundation for the majority of songs on that OST was brilliant and it shines through beautifully in a lot of tracks. As can been seen by the simple fact that Arte and I both posted songs with that foundation.
I mean hell even with the "Techno" sound I think Sunleth Waterscape is brilliant. I wont defend XIII-2 it was hard to find any songs I liked in that OST. Edit: Unnecessarily vocal? You mean to say video games shouldn't have vocals? Why yes lets stick with early gen limitations. I'm sure if this were centuries ago you'd be one of the people who called Beethoven crazy for putting lyrics in his Symphony...

I still need to get 13 and 13-2, I may get those both next week since they're dirt *** cheap.

I'm sure if this were centuries ago you'd be one of the people who called Beethoven crazy for putting lyrics in his Symphony... It's simply my opinion, but I found the vocal tracks to be...misplaced. They didn't befit the song in the manner that I felt was appropriate. So the song ended up sticking out in an awkward manner, which in turn takes away attention from the game itself. Granted I am admittingly more comfortable with strictly instrumental tracks for FF soundtracks (not based on hardware limitations), however, if done right, vocals can truly energize and step a track up to the next level of emotional scale, and here's a perfect example. You'll likely recognize this from when Tidus and crew enter the Zanarkand Ruins for the first time.

I'm sad and my mom didn't say anything but she sneaked a bread with nutella on my desk.

I don't mind techno/trance etc but I just didn't like the tracks used (most, not all obviously) in XIII, it was too much. You can think it's dumb if you want, they just didn't seem fitting imo.
