I am, however, one of the people that really didn't like FF7 at all. Well, except Cid. FF7 Cid is the best Cid. Just... one raging, tea-drinking badass can't save the whole game, for me. I dunno, maybe if they un-cardboarded the characterization some it might be better... but then people who liked it the way it was would complain... it could go either way.
Also, I -loved- FFX. And while I wasn't totally attached to the plot of X-2, the mechanics were a lot of fun, so I still enjoyed it. But... like... it was fine. Why the hell would you -remake- it? It's like the remake of Psycho. Unnecessary and probably inferior.
I loved 7. Aerith was my favorite. x3 and Vincent.
FFX is what got me into FF in the first place so I really love FFX. X-2 wasn't that bad. Only issue is it was more like "Sidequests: The Game" rather than having much of a main plot.
FF8 was okay...but the gameplay was pretty...pfft to me.
I just got insanely angry over something really little....
My team leader ALWAYS has the blinds right down and it sh*ts me beyond reason. I hate working without sunlight. She always complains it's 'screen glare' but I get to leave 1 out of 4 up usually...today she has a meeting with a very loud co worker (so I won't be able to work anyway) and puts all 4 down cause of this TINY bit of glare on the second screen!! I'm like "can't you work at colleague B desk instead?" he goes "sure thats ok" and then She goes "No i've decided you should go downstairs instead!"...Wat? AAAAGH!
I was still fuming at going on holiday and another colleague had 2 jobs of mine to do...one she made so many mistakes it took me a week to fix them and the 2nd job she just didn't do! She wasn't even told off for it cause 'shes not well'. I don't give a fuck! She's 'not been well' since she started 2 years ago! Either she gets 'well' and has time off or she can get lost so someone who can do the job can have it!! I probably sound very unfeeling but I'm just so over useless ppl getting jobs over others who'd do it 100% better than them ><
I don't believe in ghosts, but man, I can understand why people do.
I was making some hashbrowns and I had to get something from the freezer. I opened it, closed it, and walked across the kitchen- and looked up to see one of our wall pantries open up on its own, spit out a heavy glass container lid, and close itself. The lid fell on to an expensive coffee glass and smashed it, before rolling to the ground.
...Nobody had opened that pantry for at least three days. Apparently one of the Kitchen Appliance Mobs decided that it wanted that coffee glass dead, and hired a mafia hit.

Oh dear, it seems something in your house really doesn't like coffee

That seems like the sort of situation that would make me shit my pants at first and then a few seconds later I'd be cracking up about it. Kinda freaky though. .___.

Wow that would freak me out! My cats sometimes freak me out especially how ppl say they are the guardiens of the underworld...sometimes both cats will stare intently at a spot, eyes wide but theres nothing there and no noise to make them look over there....>.>

Basically how I reacted! I just stared in shocked awe at first, then started laughing like crazy. I just- how??? Why??? The passion behind that. Rarely does a cupboard get so angry that it spits a lid.
Something along the lines of "omg ghosts" like that is something that happens to me all the time and I always fall for it is I'll wake up in the middle of the night hearing breathing like someone is watching me, like a stereotypical stalker kind of deal and so I panic like anyone would (my beds right by my window on the ground floor) and it always ends up being the fat cat
She snores very loudly and if she is sleeping on her back she sounds like a person XD
This friend my girlfriend and I have is really starting to wear the both of us out-- she comes to us for comfort and for advice (as of late, it's been relationship advice), both of which we try to give the best we can but...
god, neither of us can do this anymore
she constantly berates herself and puts herself down for the smallest things, says she'll never be loved (she's had her bad runs of relationships lately), that she deserves to just die because it will make everyone feel better. and every time we try to tell her that it's not true and that things will get better, she downplays our words or just brushes it off completely. i'm all for trying to help her, but neither me or my girlfriend have the energy to do this anymore we can't help the way she wants or needs it, we aren't professionals or therapists and it's running us ragged trying to help and keep her afloat
small notes but yea she's depressed, and she's diabetic too so her blood sugar and mood spiral out of control a lot easier which is where a lot of this is stemming from

Health issues aside, all I can say is you can't do much for her if she doesn't help herself.

yeah, basically... i mean me and my girlfriend try to help our best because we're her friends, why wouldn't we? but i think all we're doing is butting heads with a brick wall at this point
she was good until the last boyfriend she had, then everything just started going downhill in front of our eyes -- she relapsed with her cutting (she hadn't done it for years before him) and her self-confidence basically crumbled and that's when things started to get bad
I wish it was possible to force someone to go to a therapist, but unfortunately, that's something she needs to do.
I am very familiar with that battle, Alex. And I'm really sorry you have to go through it. It's horrific, because you hurt so badly for your friend and you know it's a disease and it's not their fault- but there's a point that you reach where you just don't have the energy to help any more.
I still haven't figured out what to do in that situation. I feel selfish saying "I can't do this anymore I'm sorry" because they hurt so badly, and I can't understand that level of hurt. But- god, it's hard sometimes. When my brother was going through a hard time (he was suicidal for a week or so, a month back) I was having daily mental breakdowns/sob fests because there was nothing I could do that would be right.
Depression sucks for everyone involved. :-/ I really wish it was easier to get a therapist because so many people need one and never get one. It's NOT just a "get therapy if it's right for you!" thing because depression effects so many people that aren't just you.
That's really hard Alex, I know how exhausting it can be trying to help people like that. Sometimes it's just...beyond what you can do, especially if they won't even meet you halfway.
It's not selfish to walk away from someone like that if it is brining you nothing but pain constanly with no change in sight. I can't blame anyone who does walk away because everyone has their limits and to push someone past them constantly will not solve anything. It does not make you a bad person if you do that. Least to me you are not a bad person if you do. I could be wrong I useally am :S
but yeah, sometimes I do feel like just outright telling her "I'm not the help you need, I'm sorry I can't do this anymore" but she's attempted suicide multiple times in the past and my girlfriend and I are basically her best friends and us stepping back or away from her because of this could potentially drive her over the edge... I couldn't live with myself with that on my mind, that I was part of the catalyst for that
She's in the right mind to know that she needs the help, but... I dunno, I feel like that thought has crossed her mind before and suggesting it to her again won't help?
I love how I make one mistake and then people get pissed off and blame me for bringing them down instead of saying "Hey that hurt" and work things out with me. Instead they kick me while I'm already down and depressed...
