Geekitude

[moonwise]

Wow. *blows the cobwebs off LJ* Facebook has killed this journal.

But, maybe there's a reason for that. Facebook is for real life stuff, like baby photos and what I did last weekend. LJ is for geekery, and I haven't had a whole lot to geek out about in the last year or so, and there's been even less since the pooper arrived.

BUT!

Thanks to maeveth, from whom I first found out that Laguna was going to be in Dissidia 012, I am having a happy fangirly time. I might even fic. It gives me faith in Life after Baby. Then again, I also have archaeologist_d as a role model. :)

Ha ha, I was kinda hoping you'd appear out of nowhere and weigh in on Laguna's dorktastic appearance in Dissidia. :D And congratulations on the house! It's great to have a place to call your own.

Thanks! It is, though it's still so new to us that it sort of feels more like we're housesitting, and therefore I keep feeling like it's wrong to put up our own stuff on the walls... ;)

I still haven't played the first Dissidia, but in this one they're bringing in Laguna AND Kain - two of my very favorites ever! There actually has been some discussion of Laguna's inclusion over on Facebook, among some of the people I've met while cosplaying Final Fantasy characters... and one of them posted a video of Laguna fighting Sephiroth (hottest battle ever). And being like "Woohooooo!" all the time, because obviously it's great fun fighting a genetically engineered superhuman. XD Such a tremendous dork!

See, the whole thing about Laguna is that without him, the game was kind of flat. Now?

NOW it's a party!!

...Oh man. I saw the "Ragnarok Cannon" and was like "lololol best attack e... WTF LAGUNA WTF"

I'm slightly disturbed now.

But he's cute?

I only just picked the game up today -- and I've gotten like nowhere in it thus far -- but the guy is already a quote machine. Apparently Tifa's practicing her punches on him.

The man speaks Internet. There's no other way to put it.

Fluently, at that.

Having a house carries its own set of headaches, as I'm sure you've discovered, but they're usually outweighed by having the freedom to do whatever you want with the space, including not having to hide your pets. :)

That Laguna vs. Sephiroth battle made me giggle. Whoever translated Laguna's lines obviously had a lot of fun with it.
