Day 64: My GF is better than yours!

I did start a playthrough of Final Fantasy VIII today.  I didn't get very far with it though.  Well, I did, but I was overconfident and ended up not having any actual proof of the progress.  You see, I chose to try Fire Cavern in ten minutes.  I ran out of time, and I received a Game Over.  If I had not drawn magic from the enemies along the way to Ifrit, I would have had more time.  Anyway, I will set the time for twenty minutes next time.

Other than that, I am just rushing through the story.  Since I have played and completed the game once before, I know what happens.  I will not go for the extra things.  I want to stick to the story and complete it quickly.

For those that don't get the reference in the entry title, a GF is Guardian Force.  Yeah, like I would have time for a girlfriend.

It was also a big day for me when I played Osu! today.  One of my friends was online, and I played him for quite a long time.  He is ranked #7,543 in the world and #339 in America.  Playing against him was a challenge, and I rose to the occasion.  Each song was close, with our scores coming within 3,000 points each.  There was one song where the difference between our scores was only 274 points.  That time was the first of my winning streak.  When I won, he gave me control of the room and the chance to pick the songs.  I tried to pick songs that the two of us have played together.  Each song ended in a win for me.  In the end, we both had other things to do and we both stopped playing.

The big news is that I am that much closer to making it on to the worldwide leaderboard.  I am now ranked #765 in the country, and #15,214 in the world!  Some more play sessions like the one today, and I will be right there with all of my friends.

I also have second place in a song right now.  I don't know where the song is from, but I do know that it must be really easy to get a top score in it if I have second place.

Well, that's all for today.  I will continue playing Final Fantasy VIII later tonight.  So, for the coming day, enjoy the games you play!

Day 63: Month 3 Begins!

Right now I am currently waiting for the match to begin in Osu!.  The waiting is the one thing I don't like about playing multiplayer matches.  It can take what seems like forever for some players to get the maps.  I am ranked about the same as yesterday, so there's nothing new to report on that end.  I just wish I didn't have to wait so long.

I also played Skyrim a lot today.  And I only did the main story quests today as well.  My character is about to enter Sovngarde to go after Alduin.  I am at Level 30.  I just want to hurry and finish the game, because it is starting to feel boring to me.  This happens a lot when I play something for a long time.  That's why I am in the spot I'm in right now, I am bad about not completing video games.

Last night I thought about starting a playthrough of Final Fantasy VIII.  It is one Final Fantasy game that I don't play often.  But then I never got around to playing it because I was playing Skyrim.  I think I just didn't want to play the beginning of the game.  It seems slow to me when I play it.  But I think I will start it later this evening.  I have no plans for tomorrow, so I might as well.

Well, that's all I have for now.  So, for the coming day, enjoy the games you play!
