Assorted And Completely Unrelated Questions for my F-List

[seventhe]

1. Let's say Sev is thinking of asking for either an X-Box or a PS3 for Christmas. Tell me about both of them: pros and cons, games I can get, which you would recommend for someone who is kind of a shitty gamer anyway. Let's go!


2. I have a bit of code I wrote a while ago that could potentially be used for a fic exchange. I'm not sure it's going to work for DOINK in any real context, but I've been itching to try it out on a VERY SMALL and VERY UNOFFICIAL scale. Basically how it works is: every person leaves 3 prompts; I make a master list of the anonymous prompts by number; you secretly send me 3 prompts you're willing to write; the code will assign you 1 prompt to write in a way that best covers as many participants as possible. Would anybody be interested in helping me test it out on a small unofficial scale? I could call it SevMas or something. My own personal boner exchange. I'm looking for a group of people, more than 5 but less than 15. Very low key, no promises, all I want is to run my damn code like a real loser, Sev/EXCEL OTP forever.


3. I have been feeling very strangely fannish lately, probably because I've been imbibing on a lot more source material than usual: this is mostly the fault of safety_caesars/vrazdova. We are replaying FFX; I started a random replay of FFVIII when I was sick; we just watched Gundam Wing and I am rewatching it in English while I run. I'm kind of on fandom overdose. Any thoughts or liveblogs or meta posts or, god, I don't know whatever that people want to see? And/Or: if I start spamming my thoughts on GW episodes and writing massive essays on Quistis/Rinoa, please don't defriend me right away.


4. WHAT'S UP

Whereas I was kind of the opposite -- I was trying really hard to keep track of the pilots that were together, and since Wufei is kind of doing his own thing for a long time I HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO CLUE WHAT HE DID FOR THE FIRST LIKE 20 EPS. I shit you not. Hooray for being able to rewatch, LOLSOB.

Oooooh, thank you, i will look that up! Have you played any of the Final Fantasy games? Those are kind of my comfort zone, although I'd love to play more stuff.

Wufei is definitely a man with his own mind.

I have never played any of the FF games, but I have watched other people play and enjoyed that.

I actually felt almost bad because I got to the end of the game and I seriously liked Wufei - that thing with Treize was like *SOBS FOREVER* - but I felt like I didn't understand his character at all in a way that meant I could write it. Because I had been so lost.

Wufei is a seriously complex character and really hard to get a handle on. I always struggle when I write him.
