these wooden ideas

I thought about writing about Metal Gear but it would seem like I have a Kojima fixation (which isn't far from the truth). Maybe that's something for later in the day.

In my top ten list of all time games, Suikoden II would be up there, at least my favourite JRPG ever made. Even a friend of mine has it tattoo'd on her back, I for one wouldn't go to far, but I would certainly start remember my obsessing and end up on my back dribbling as if I was Ian Curtis after an intense gig.

The usual is that its just a JRPG, nothing special, the graphics are quaint, even bit of a throw back from the Snes days. For me, it's like when you discover a book for the first time that no one recommended to you. You peel back the pages not knowing if you will finally enjoy the book and in the end you're lying in bed staring at the ceiling.



And it's simply that peeling off the layers of the war between two countries and all the characters of interest and disinterest is what makes the game. Old heroes return from the past, new ones are made, some never return. But in the end, for me its not about them or the politics, it's about two men and their journey from being friends, suffering a betrayal, defeat and ultimately a return to the place where their lives changed forever.

The shame is, unless your an ebay fiend or someone that was there at the beginning, the only change for this is searching for the torrent or to hope Sony release the English version on PSN.

Love you all my beautiful eggs.

I'm unclean, a libertine
And every time you vent your spleen,
I seem to lose the power of speech,
You're slipping slowly from my reach.

Without you, I'm nothing.
Take the plan, spin it sideways.
Without you, I'm nothing at all.
