While waiting for my new PS3 to arrive, I decided to dust off the PSP and play around with that a bit. I discovered that my battery could only hold a charge for about 10 minutes, which makes it pretty useless. I ordered a new battery from Best Buy, along with a new 2GB memory stick. My old memory stick was 128MB, and cost more, I think, than the new 2GB one. So, I now have enough room to copy some reasonably long videos down to my PSP, though there's really not anything I'm interested in watching on it right now.

I also spent some time today playing Final Fantasy VIII on my PS2, which I haven't touched in a long while. I did make some progress -- I got past Norg, for whatever that's worth. Despite the fact that I started this game in 2003 or thereabouts, I'm still determined to finish it at some point!

After going quite some time without touching my PS2 at all, I recently started playing Final Fantasy VIII again. I think I started this game around Thanksgiving 2003. I just finished disc one today. It's a four disc game, so I should probably finish up in 2008 or so.
And I just found out that my PSP shipped today and should probably show up some time next week. Yay!

So much for the long Thanksgiving weekend. Back to work tomorrow! I did a whole bunch of Christmas shopping this weekend, plus I mailed out my Christmas cards, started Final Fantasy VIII, and I even made some progress with Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.

I just finished Final Fantasy VII. I had started playing in January 2002, so that makes it almost 2 years that it took me to complete this thing. I may start Final Fantasy VIII tomorrow, or I may decide to take a break from gaming for a while and read a few books instead!

I've been back on a bit of a PlayStation kick for the last week or so. I picked up Final Fantasy VII again and picked where I left off, which is probably about halfway through the game. I hadn't played in quite some time, but I still seem to know what all the buttons do. I got a little curious tonight about when exactly I started this game. I went back through all my old blogs and found out: I started playing on January 23, 2002, or thereabouts. So that's more than a year and a half, and I'm still not done. Looks like I'll be finished around December 2004 at this rate. Oh yeah, the play time indicator on the save screen says I've got a little over 30 hours in. Man, am I getting my $20 worth out of this game. And I've got FF 8, 9, and 10 sitting on the shelf for when I've finished this one!
