Xenoblade Chronicals [game]

THIS IS CERTAINLY THE BEST WII GAME AND VERY EASILY THE BEST JRPG MADE IN THE LAST TEN YEARS AND I FEEL ALMOST ANGISH IN THE FACT THAT THE NICHE APPEAL OF A GAME LIKE THIS AND THE LARGE HOOPS AN AMERICAN NEEDS TO JUMP THROUGH TO PLAY IT MEANS IT'S VERY UNLIKELY I WILL EVER HAVE ANYONE TO DISCUSS IT WITH. I CAN'T EVEN LIST THE WAYS THIS GAME DID THINGS RIGHT, UP TO THE POINT I WAS EQUIPPING PEOPLE I DIDN'T EVEN USE JUST TO MAKE THEM LOOK COOL IN CUTSCENES AND MY BIGGEST COMPLAINT IS THAT THERE WAS SO MANY SYSTEMS I FELT BAD I COULDN'T DO THEM ALL.

PS. ACTUALLY MY BIGGEST COMPLAINT IS THAT WII CONTROLS ARE AWFUL AND EVEN AFTER PLAYING 68 HOURS OF THIS GAME I STILL HAD TO LOOK AT THE CONTROLLER TO REMEMBER HOW TO BRING UP THE MAP.

LIKE THE WHOLE "I HATE MY SISTER/OH I'M SO MAD I MAD A CACTUS/ACTUALLY I'M HAPPY NOW" ARC IS LIKE A MINUTE OF SCREEN TIME FOR NO REASON.  PS. I FEEL LIKE REWRITING IT SO ANIMAL KID WAS HIDING UNDER THE BED MORE SPECIFICALLY BECAUSE GRANDMA WOULD HATE HIM IF HE DIDN'T HAVE A GOOD POWER WOULD HAVE MADE THE CONFLICT SEEM LESS PULLED OUT OF NO WHERE. LIKE A GRANDMA HAVING TOO HIGH EXPECTATIONS IS REASONABLE BUT IT'S NEVER REALLY ESTABLISHED AS A PROBLEM UNTIL IT'S A PROBLEM.

Magicats! [book]

 Magicats! [book] Space-Time for Springers : This is just "my cat is sad" but wacky. A kitten convinced it will grow up to be human.  The Game of Rat and Dragon : This is some real extreme nonsense 1970s sci-fi. Things from the dark eat you if you travel through warp space, but human brains are too slow to react to the millisecond attacks, so they have to make psychic entanglement with strong hunter cats. There is vague romantic undertones to this.  The Cat from Hell: Oh, it's that stephen king story.  It's that thing from the tales from the darkside movie. The one king doesn't know how cats or mouths work.  Out Of Place: I don't remember anything about this story and have just reskimmed it right now and still can't tell you anything about it.  Schrödinger's Cat: I absolutely love Ursula K Leguin, but oof, this book just didn't work. It has a strong feeling of a metaphor based on some not quite right 1970s pop understanding of physics. Maybe it'
