Finals
are coming up so I'm gunna try my hardest to juggle comics and not
failing, but I'll try to update as quickly as possible. If I don't get
to it then don't worry because this summer will bring in a flood of comics for you to
enjoy, so have fun knowing my summer is spent laboring over a hot
pencil to make you chuckle.

I'm
currently working my way through Lost Odyssey and I have to say it's an
amazing game. The graphics are as fantastic ass my crappy T.V. will
allow and the story has an iron clad grip on me. The characters have
some pretty dynamic personalities, Jansen is one of the best video game
comic reliefs I've seen in a while. He's hilarious and realistic,
bringing the game play to a more personal level. The only downer is
Kaim is the usual dark and brooding bad ass in most dramatic video
games. Kaim is an immortal and apparently immortality has has blessed
him with either an eternity of migraines or some heinous constipation.
The
fighting engine is pretty fantastic as well. I'm a die hard Final
Fantasy fan, but being seperated from Squaresoft/Enix has allowed the
creators to go wild and do as they please. With a 5 man fighting system
and a formation system that actually encourages you to protect your
back row, the game play is much more interactive than the Final Fantasy
series (sans FF XII, you can't get more interactive than physically
running around and attacking).
All in all, it's a great game for
RPG fans and might even bridge the gap for people who aren't fond of
turn based fighting. I haven't beaten it yet so I'll give a post game
summary as well, but for right now I'd definitely recommend it.
Oh and for the record, it's pronounced Call-in Key-nitz. It's not Colon because I'm not a bowel, thank you.
