Happy Video Games Day!


Meredith Sweet

Everyday’s a holiday, depending on what calendars you’ve got lying around. I know that I, for one, recently celebrated Iced Tea Day, and while I have a dog and really wanted to take her for work for Take Your Dog to Work Day, my bosses wouldn’t let me. Boo. But hey, Video Games day is one holiday I can celebrate easily! According to Google, it’s today, July 8th. How have you celebrated?

I’m celebrating with nostalgic video games: I’m playing my newest acquisitions from Anime Expo, Final Fantasy V and Final Fantasy VI from the Final Fantasy Anthology. Would you believe I’ve never played (and finished) either of these games before? Huzzah to Video Games Day and encouraging me to expand my horizons beyond modern 3D games with voice acting and impossible mini-games!

    The first time I played Final Fantasy VI, it was Final Fantasy III on the SNES. On a borrowed cartridge, no less! I can’t remember where I got stuck, but I remember not playing for a while and then having to return the cartridge to the friend I’d borrowed it from!

    Nowadays, I have this policy about not starting a new game until I’ve finished all my old ones, but that “policy’s” gone right out the window. My open saves at the moment: Final Fantasy V, VI, VIII, IX, X-2 ILM, Persona 2: Eternal Punishment, Kingdom Hearts…yikes. I better get playing!
