I'm impressed he did the research and added the photo. It's been a long winter here in Maine, we take our humor where we can find it.

I have no idea why, but you were the first person who popped into my head when I was reading this originally. Oh, wait. It was the House of Cards reference. Never mind.

Lego nerd.

Way back when dinosaurs roamed the earth and I started buying legos, there weren't any merchandising tie-ins and the people were actually built entirely out of Lego bricks.

Yep, Daewoo. They made shitty cars briefly, then stopped and refused to honor warranties. 

Much like Peter and his reply to me about Vesperia, Xillia gets better as you go along. Give it another try some time when you're in the mood for a long rpg.

I'll give it another try later, then. I'll have to start over, though, because I don't remember much.

I should go back and finish the future part in Graces myself. And what didn't you like about Xillia? Also how far did you get?

Yeah, I deleted the initial post, it had some serious formatting issues and it was easier to trash it and start over than to find the problems and fix them.

I'd say skip Vesperia and just move on to Xillia. I had a hard time getting interested in Vesperia for some reason and it sits, unplayed except for maybe the first 30 minutes, on my shelf collecting dust. Had a hard time putting Xillia down.

I found a working GG at the Salvation Army thrift shop once for $10, and that included a case and four games. I have Sonic 1, Sonic 2, Ecco the Dolphin, and Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. I also found the manual to Jurassic Park in the case, but no game to go with it. Bull Moose Music here in Maine frequently has GG games for cheap, but never ones I'm interested in. The sound doesn't work on the GG, but I think I can get that fixed at one of the local indy retro games shops.

I generally don't play scary games. That said, I had a moment in a point-and-click horror game that made me jump and scream, believe it or not. It's at the end of the first episode of The Last Door. Suddenly, there's a crash and all these crows bust through a window at you. In my defense, the music is very eerie.
