Videogame Tourette's

It makes you wonder, if games piss her off that much why doesn't she stop playing them?

Of course, I cuss out games all the time, and keep playing them too.

*Fire Emblem* is one game seriously in need of save anywhere, yo.

Isn't Fire Emblem the game which saves after every turn?

[Jamie Fristrom]

Yes - meaning it saves the results of whatever mistake you just made over the last save game. Not the same as X-Com's save anywhere, not by a long shot.

But that's what makes Fire Emblem so charming! It's the interactive version of losing Aeris.

This may seem a little bit off topic, but there's not contact info on your blog that I could find ;)

I've been setting up my own (well, collaborative) gaming blog recently, and in the process of it all I keep finding and adding new blogs to my newsreader...and I think the stuff you talk about here is neat because of the really different perspective it takes--you refer back to your psychology background (your last entry, for example) which is a bit of a hobby area of interest for me.

In any case--just wanted to point out that I like your blog, and I'll get around to adding you to my links when I get a little less lazy...

Ah yes. But I'm with Fran. I like it. For one thing, it lets me close the GBA whenever I want without having to worry about the last save. Second, it really forces me to think of the strategy as one complete action, not a series of mis-steps that I can easily recover.

For instance, chess gets might boring with unlimited "takebacks".
