Some time ago, I mentioned I was playing Tales of Symphonia for Gamecube, after my customary 7-year wait to play all new games. (Okay, that’s pushing it a bit, even for me.)
I also have a video to show for it, which marks my official return to video–otherwise known as “getting off my ass and doing something”.
Anyway, I overcame the glitch that almost killed my hopes of finishing this game, and after 58 hours, IT IS DONE. Hmm.. maybe I’ll get some flack for saying this, but it’s my feeling that ToS rates in the 7-to-7.5/10 area. I have my reasons, but I won’t elaborate here, for fear of letting the Anal-Retentive Gamer take control… suffice to say, it has tempted me to start a new RPGMaker project with a totally flippant attitude towards the staples of the genre. I think it would go over a lot better than my more serious attempts with that program.
In unrelated news, I stated in a comment on the latest Gaming Pains video that I should like to have a new, full-fledged Problem Gamer episode out by the end of the month or the beginning of the next. Undying thanks to the people who haven’t given up on me! Your prodding keeps me going 
I won’t leave you high and dry forever.
