Mrrrr... Ordering Stuff

[mimi_sardinia]

Okay, so today Mum and I went out for her day late birthday lunch. We didn't do it yesterday because I had work and also I had to go in an hour early because it was stocktake.


Anyway, last night I finally made myself look up Ebay again for an album I'd promised myself I'd buy at some point - the FFVIII soundtrack - and I found one going pretty cheap.

Oh, there was a few copies of a seven disk set that included the orchestral thingies, the Eyes On Me single and such but between both the cost they were asking for them and the postage they were going to be $50 - American.

I went for a buy that was just the four-disk soundtrack because I could afford that.


Anyway, after lunch, we went down to the nearest branh of the bank Mum and I have our accounts in - which is in the big shopping mall to the south of our home. I put the money into Mum's account (she's the one who owns the Visa card I do my Paypal stuff through) and I decided to go poke in EB Games.

They finally have KH2 in their Coming Soon displays.

Guess what I did? If your guess includes the word "preorder" then you get a cookie. I also laybuyed a guide book for the game, that if I get it off at the same time I get the game itself I get a 20% discount on.

I really should get on with playing KH1 but those damn barrels keep pissing me off. Anyone got advice on how to get through the barrel challenge in the first Collesium visit?


Edit: Ehh... looks like I made a mistake about the FFVIII CD - it's not the whole soundtrack, it's just the orchestral thingie - Fithos Lusec Wecos Vinosec. Still, that's not bad - it's the best tracks from the game, played by an orchestra.

Smack the heck out of them, but you can also use magic. A good placed fire spell locked on to some of the barrels can help a LOT. Particularily in the second one, where you can't reach the one on top of a raised slab.

Interesting to note that after that you get thunder and they won't let you use magic if you redo it (You don't have to) because that would make it too easy.

The magic may help.

How ironic!

I just dropped around $250 (mostly) on game soundtracks recently, including the FFVIII OST (the music from that game's been on my mind, lately).

I tend to avoid eBay for such things though, as it's full of bootlegs, and I'm a fairly serious collector.

Ahh, you got the FFVIII orchestral album instead. Still sweet; it's the single best orchestral Final Fantasy album out there, IMHO ^_^

Yeah, I made a slight mistake but it was probably a good one.
