I -do- hope I'm using the phrase milquetoast correctly.

...

...And if you're looking for a cartoon character, you're outta luck. I got this phrase from somewhere, and it stuck in my head as describing blandiose undertakings.

And I, being the ultimate blaguer, snapped it up.

Anyway, lucky duckies, this is actually a video game blog.

Currently it's a Final Fantasy Tactics Advance blog.

...

Feel lucky, duckies. Or someone might smash a mirror on your frowning face.

I'm done bloviating for now, but blissful silence lasts not long.

I'm a slut for tactical RPGs. I guess that's what you'd call them.

I'm talking about games with battle systems like Final Fantasy Tactics Advance.

One such game I've played like this is called Rhapsody: A Musical Adventure.

...

Like I said, I'm a slut for this style of battle system.

So, any games like these other than the ones with Tactics in the name?

I mean, other than Disgaea. I know about Disgaea. I want to play Disgaea. But I need more obscure games to snatch up.

Now excuse me while my cheap-ass Paladin-With-Double-Sword-And-Ninja-Tabi kills off yet another swarm of Clan Hound's jagd-obsessed bastards.

I started up a new game on my copy of Pokemon Diamond. Since I play my true gender (female) on Pearl, I figured I should try playing as a guy.

If only 'cuz I wanted to name myself Stratus. I like that name.

Anyway, I picked a Turtwig as a starter, 'cuz I hate the Piplup line and I always pick Chimchar.

Burn them all, Chimchar!

Anyway, I got a Turtwig with relatively decent stats and named 'im Tiberius. At level 6 he took out a level 2 Starly in one hit with Tackle (probably a crit-hit, but I wasn't paying attention) and prompted me to write this entry.

'Cuz for a D/P starter, OHKOing something with Tackle at level 6 is friggin' sweet, even if it's a level 2 Starly.

So Stratus and his pal Tibs (erh, Tiberius) are on the way to Jubilife to give that blonde rival kid (I think I named him Cumulus) a package from his mummy.

Hijinks will surely ensue. Now excuse me while Tibby the Turtwig and I go put some random pokemon's head on a flaming spike. 'Cuz them Bidoofs look like they's worshipin' Chrissy-anity, and since Pokemon has it's own deity and shit now I have an excuse to smite them heathens.

Hm, maybe Tiberius is a better suited name for a Chimchar.

Nevermind. Please ignore the above text - Turtwig sucks. Chimchar is better.

...That I learned from Robert Heinlein.
