So I finally sat down and played FF7 for the first time today.
Cloud is a fucking asshole.

It's hard to blame Cloud. His attitude and demeanor are a direct result of Tifa being massively manipulative to keep him nearby so she can stay in an emotional hugbox about all the stupid things she did. At one point after you leave midgar you're going to hear a story about a little old place called Nibelheim, but you have to remember that the narrator is tremendously unreliable and still kind of an asshole. Just wait, you'll just feel bad for Cloud once it becomes clear what really happened to him.
I've been playing gallons and gallons of TF2. Endlessly. I'd like to get off the TF2 bus, please.
Like I said in an earlier post, I've been playing Team Fortress 2 off and on since release. I can sincerely state I am
very good at it. So good that I have to spend an hour looking for a game with people 'on my level' because everyone is either a vacuous dump free-to-player or some massive tit like me who's been playing for a million bajillion hours. Free to players just bump into walls and always play as snipers, but cocksure TF2 vets are giant assholes who need to stroke their ego every time they get a kill or score a point. The contradiction of course is that a quantifiable skill set is pointless when you've got dumb kids blundering around half the games making your leet skillz pretty much meaningless. Finding a comfortable middle is tough because as I said, I'm pretty darn good, but what's the point when half of my teammates literally don't comprehend the first word in the games title?
I've been playing Shovel Knight. Great game, definitely recommend it just as everyone else has. It has a firm grasp on what mechanics a game needs to feel fun and challenging without indulging either of the two. The pixel art (or whatever you call it, graphics) is just terrific. It's a really,
really nice looking game.
