I'm going to cancel the PSP laybuy.

I have my reasons - I am not, and I doubt I will ever be and enthusiastic gamer, and the track record I have with both my PS2 and GBA/DS games show that getting the PSP is just going to be a huge waste of money for me.

I have a couple of things earmarked for the money, once it's free, things which I personally believe will be a great deal better appreciated, and won't inflict a constant dull guilt because I never play with them.

I stumbled across a really good buy today, while I was in poking around Target. Two PS2 memory cards for $39.88.

Now take into consideration that all the other memory cards all had the exact same price, for single card packs.

I didn't actually see any other double packs in either of the security cabinets that contained memory cards so I think I was lucky.

That means I have one memory card per game that I currently own - though I'm not sure if that means I will take up playing FFX again yet - I have enough of a juggle finding time to play both of my KH games between work and my internet addiction (really, I love the internet - I seem to find excuses to stay on - even when the only apparently interesting option is to put on The Sims 2. I just feel like the internet is one of my few true links with the world - one that's interactive).

So I'll haul myself upstairs soon and start shifting games onto these two darlings so I'm not filling card space at both ends (I have my KH2 save at the bottom end of the same card that my KH1 saves are on) and they are still all playable, which is more than I can say for the saves on the Max Drive (I have to stick in the AR Max disk to even be able to identify the flashdrive on the PS2, let alone be able to transfer games from it to a memory card).


In a slightly odd turn of fan-driven perchasing, I bought a packet of sherbet lemons. I totally blame American publishers who feel a need to translate British books into American English - specifically the Harry Potter books, which I once heard a few examples of how typically British idioms and word usages got changed into more American ones. The three examples I recall is pants/trousers, lorry/pickup truck and sherbet lemons/[some sort of term for lemon candy].

*Idly using the Squee! icon because I have Xemnas on the brain at the moment.*

Does anyone else have problems with Donald and Goofy getting in the way while you're running around trying to reach all those out-of-the-way places where treasure chests are located? Because damn! Every second time (or so it seems) I tried to jump on that rock to get onto the leaf platforms in the Lotus Forest in Wonderland either Goofy or Donald were standing on it!

I supose I'll get used to it - there's a hell of a lot of the game ahead still.


Getting those powersaves has however given me a new incentive to play!
