*[[ Nostalgic Videogames ]]*

Hello everyone, how's it going? Lovely October and it's coming to an end soon. So yeah I've just got my girlfriend a laptop. It's a Sony Vaio laptop. Pink colour and kinda affordable for a high-spec model. I'm glad to have bought her the laptop and it's her choice actually to get a Sony Vaio. I guess women do care about style more than practicality.

So yeah like the title says, I'm currently digging old PSX archives to search for some interesting videogames that can take away my time. I found that most of the popular PSX titles can be converted to be played on a PSP. Quite neat, huh? I really love digital technology. Everything seems impossible, gotta applaud the hackers and crackers to be able to make the conversion possible. So right now I'm playing Saga Frontier. I love this game. I just love old Squaresoft (its old name was Square and then changed to Squaresoft and then Square Enix now) games. I even tried to get a hold of Final Fantasy VIII conversion on the PSP but it's very buggy and has issues about the game freezing while in battle. So nyeh, I'll try to just play the PC version of it since the PSX games are hardly or almost entirely impossible to get nowadays.

I remember the only games that I have ever finished was Thousand Arms, Final Fantasy VII, Final Fantasy VIII, Xenogears, Final Fantasy Tactics, Final Fantasy IX, and some others. I used to have this habit, no I still do this until now, I tend to leave the game when I nearly reach the end of the game, like the last dungeon or the last final battle with the boss, I will completely leave it for a new game. I don't know why, maybe it's because I didn't want to end it or I wanted to complete it along with the mini-quests and some other stuffs like finding the perfect weapons or secret items but I just couldn't. That was my bad habit and I also found out that there are similar people out there just like me as well who abandons the game after reaching a certain point. So it's not just me, maybe that's the nature of the structure of the videogame, the creator knows the gamers very well so they made it where there will be no point of return once you reach a certain point in the game.

I guess that's how you get addicted to videogames. To certain people, it's different to each and everyone. Some love it because of the gameplay, some for the realism, some for the storyline and some just for the kill of it. So yeah I used to be a game addict but I can control myself to realised that it's just a game. If only videogame girls are real, I would really wish for one.

For now, I'll just enjoy the great old days and play some decade year old videogames to my fullest :)
