samatethecookieI think PS2 is on its last leg. Whenever scenes change, during game play or cut scenes, it lags. It takes a full minute to change scenes. I can always get another PS2, but it surprises me because I've had this PS2 Slim for a long time and it's breaking on us now. :\ (I suspect it's because my little sister never turns off the console when she's done playing them. I almost always find it running for hours, without anyone using it, whenever my sister plays a game and forgets to turn it off. PS2, PS3, the Wii, anything that can play a game. I wish the PS2 had these controls to lock someone out of the PS2 console, because it's starting to get on my nerves, not to mention how expensive these consoles were.)
I was playing Kingdom Hearts 2, and the only real thoughts I have on it is my aggravation over the voices of the Final Fantasy characters. Some of them are just awful.
(a) Mae Whitman can never be Yuffie to me, because whenever she opens her mouth, all I hear is, "HI, I'M KATARA." (Which isn't a bad thing! It's just that Whitman has one of those voices that never escapes you once you've heard her play one character.)
(b) Cid sounds like he's sixty instead of forty-something. I get that he's older than the other characters, but he's not that old.
(c) Aerith. Every voice Aerith's had with the exception of Crisis Core has been terrible. Why can't they figure out which voice actress suits her? She's had three in total so far, and all of them sound too ridiculously soft-spoken. And her voice actress in KH2, Mena Suvari, sounds like she had a head cold, and as though she wasn't even trying with her lines. :\ Please, ppl, stick with Andrea Bowen from Crisis Core from now on.
The only voices I don't cringe whenever I hear them belong to Leon, Cloud, and Sephiroth. (Well, the second game for Sephiroth, since they realized casting a member from the pop group N*Sync to play an extremely popular, menancing villain like Sephiroth wasn't exactly a good idea, and thankfully picked up George Newbern to play Sephiroth since then.) There's Tifa and the others, but I haven't really heard their voices yet, and I forget what they sound like in the Kingdom Hearts series.
And I realize I'm rambling, so I'm going to end this entry with a completely random realization that I haven't been reading a lot lately, which disappoints me greatly. I think I'm going to start getting around to House of Leaves, BUT I AM SCARED, YOU GUYS.
On that note, Sev, I just found something related to our little inside jokes.
Please tell me I'm not the only one who immediately thought of anti!Cais traumatizing his daughter yet again if he ever saw this book.

I have mixed feelings on the Cloud and Sephiroth battles. I can see why Sephiroth would want to fight Cloud and hate him, since Cloud did ruin his plans to conquer the world, and he'd certainly take notice of the guy who got in his way. And I'm a sucker for their scenes. But that doesn't mean it doesn't get tiresome after Advent Children, Kingdom Hearts, and Dissidia. I'd like to see Cloud follow Sephiroth around, yelling, "LET'S SETTLE THIS I HATE YOU BLAH BLAH BLAH" and Sephiroth just going, "ffff whatever, man, you're just going to be my slave once I'm the God of this world" like the good old days, but I doubt Square-Enix is going to do that unless they remake FFVII.
(And if they ever remake FFVII--they can't do it now, because they don't have the time in between game projects and it'd be an extensive project, but there's still rumors floating around--they ought to replay the entire game themselves and stay true to the canon as much as possible. Because I will be pissed if they make any drastic changes.)
