I am a geek.

I can't help it.

I am. although geeks now are way cooler than geeks before, and the sub-culture is far more fascinating and also more accepted, a geek is a geek is a geek.

so I was just perusing my downloads. I've been trying to download the ISO for Bust-a-groove and trap gunner because someone ganked both of those from me...

not cool.

so I figured I could find a rip somewhere.

yea on the first, still working on the second.

here's the problem. so I find the bust-a-groove and bust-a-move (which is the japanese version) ISO's and I rip them and try to play them on my mod'ed playstation. unfortunately I think I burnt out the motherboard or the mod chip a long time ago, so the burns don't play anymore.

think think think.

so I find three or four ps1 emulators online.

cool.

wait.

if I can find bust a groove, can't I find other games?

yup.

I have many many games for my PS1 - but they are CD's and they are at home.

I have now rediscovered Final Fantasy VII. I was pulled back into it because of the FFVII movie - Advent Children, but I forgot so much of the game, and now that I am 10 years older, I am picking up so much more from the game...

that and I'm probably so much smarter. :-P

anyhow, I have officially wasted 11 hours playing the game - it's nice enough to keep track for me.

the cool thing about playing on the laptop is that I can save states - which means I can save where I usually couldn't save - which is almost kind of like cheating, because I can undo mistakes, whereas I couldn't undo them before.

however, I only discovered this 9 hours deep... so I really wasn't able to use it to my advantage from the beginning. and I'm too far out to even consider back tracking...

too much time and too much happens and it's just too difficult to try to fix mistakes you made hours ago. it's only good for quick fixes, instant fixes. otherwise you just have no life... well, if you are spending that much time playing video games then I guess that's your life...

btw - since I know aeris(aerith) is going to die - I'm not even attempting to play her... straight up cloud, tifa, and barrett... and now, I actually understand how the materia works - I had no clue when I first started playing.

I'm out of ct by halloween. houston to follow... now I'm going to have to learn salsa and merengue and whatever other dances...
