I've started playing Final Fantasy IV. Not being able to stream it is a real bummer, cause I've been loving it and would have loved to share my love with the world. Not streaming it, though, and playing it on my iPhone and iPad (With cloud saves I can go back and forth) I've been able to grab my ipad on the way to the bathroom and get twenty minutes in here and there. I'm already to the dungeon towards Damcyan, siding with the Sage Tellah after saving Rydia from... myself. And killing her mother. Poor Rydia. I love Rydia so much. She's such a great character, and has such a great arc in the game. She's so cool and powerful. A total bad ass.
Also I've been loving the game's added mechanics, such as the map screen in dungeons that slowly fills as you explore. Even going so far as to giving you a percentage meter and gifting you a reward if you get to 100%. It's really taken the slog out of the dungeons, and makes them an enjoyable cartography mission worth the time spent. I can remember only too much in my youth the frustration I felt in those 2D mazes on the SNES, and how much I've always hated dungeons in all RPGs. Retracing my same steps over and over again looking for the one thing I might have missed. This game I think has the cure, and it's too bad more games don't do the same thing. Where haven't I been? Well it's whereever on the map I haven't filled in yet. I love it.
All in All I absolutely recommend this game to everyone. And all you need is a phone. Everyone has a phone right? It's perfectly playable on the touchscreen, and sounds great with headphones. The gameplay is simple, but fun. It's also probably a great play if you can get the DS version, especially playing it on a 3DS XL. Finally, there's a PC version if that's your only option, and I'm sure that would work. I probably could get it and stream it on PC, it's even on sale right now on Steam, but PC for games like that is usually my last resort. And the portability on my iPad and iPhone make it worth it much more. Also I'm super broke, and even on sale that's 14 bucks (For the after years epilogue as well) that I just don't have to spend.
Anyway. I'm gonna do a big clean day for my apartment. If I finish in time I'll also watch my DVR, maybe go see Alita before all the 3D showings go away (But probably not), and start GTA IV like I keep tantalizing that one guy. We'll see how things go. I know my apartment wouldn't be so bad if I could just get started, but it's so hard to take those first steps.

Geekly Weekly TV Rankings ( ➤ for new)(PS: There will be Spoilers)(PPS: I live tweet shows on twitter, but I try to keep those spoiler-lite for the important spoilers @AndrewGeczy)
- I Am The Night *****
Amazing episode of this show. I mean every show on this list was pretty amazing this week, but this one has to take the cake. It was so intense, so well acted, so well written. The twists were... admittedly you could see it coming, the one about her father, but it didn't make it any less fucked up and twisted and you feel bad for her. Her mother was so vapid, but the woman who plays Fauna is freaking amazing. The series is all based on a true story apparently, so maybe if I knew the full story I wouldn't have my mind blown every week, but this show is definitely keeping me on my toes. - Deadly Class *****I love this show so much. Mostly because it has like 3 girls in it who are each the girl of my dreams. And they are so bad ass and cool and flawed and nuanced and unique and awesome. This episode didn't even focus much on them though, and it was still awesome. Marcus' backstory was insane and horrifying. also the time spent with that one teacher of theirs... I hated that guy when he first appeared, despite some good lines, but this episode he was amazing. I loved it. And that disembowelment. Just another grisly scene in a train of grisly scenes. Great episode. I saw one review calling this the weakest episode yet... well maybe, but I'd probably point to the premiere for that. And if it even is the weakest episode yet, clearly that doesn't mean anything, this show is a much watch show.
- High Maintenance *****
That was an amazing episode. The first story was alright, but that second story about the Vet who suffers from depression and decides to try microdosing on Mushrooms. That was literally something else. I was laughing the whole way through, the laughter getting more and more intense until that cat stuck in a Tuba scene and I was crying I was laughing so hard oh god that was funny. Easily the funniest single scene, probably the funniest bit. Best episode? It's hard to say. Best line? "He has diarrhea." - Star Wars Resistance *****
That was the best episode of Star Wars Resistance yet. The show is really delving into occupation with the first order, and what that means. It's dark and intense. And it was a lot of fun including the Captain's daughter in the resistance this time. That fight scene was actually really intense at the end, when all they had to do was take out a couple storm troopers and they failed hard at that. It felt believable in scary way where you were actually afraid something could happen to Torra or Kaz. - GenLOCK ****1/2
So I had no idea what was going on at first. With all the drama with Miranda, I thought I'd missed an episode. I did not at all catch that the thing had made some noice that sounded like Chase. I even went back to the last episode and rewatched that scene. It just sounds like static and creature noises to me. But apparently everyone else was like "It's CHASE!" Anyway, this episode was really good, once I got past that confusion. I guess a lot of people are dead. I just hope Miranda is still alive. Dakotah Fanning still deserves her own mech. - The Walking Dead ****1/2
Great episode of The Walking Dead this week. Possibly the best episode of the season, it was so good. That scene in the corn. The walker that scalped itself in the theater. Alpha just being a scary muthafucker. Man. Poor Lydia. I don't blame Henry for not being able to live with it. I am so invested in this storyline right now. - Shameless ****1/2
It was an alright episode of Shameless. It really is super rough watching Fiona hit rock bottom, with Frank no less. It was also rough seeing Xan go. I hope she's okay. I thought maybe she would ghost Lip, but Lip claims he got a call from her off screen, and I think we're supposed to believe him. I liked her. She was adorable and sweet and deserved to be part of the family. I do Fiona was really rough though. She was being so mean and unlikable. I hope she's ready to change now. - ➤ Star Trek Discovery ****It was alright. Everything I've complained about before is still kind of true. Also, can we stop getting all excited over doing science and grinning like a school boy or girl every single time. "Because any variation must be the shuttle" the guy repeats the most basic of ideas like it's the most mindblowing thing he's ever heard, eyes wide, big ass shit eating grin on his face. I don't like it. I don't. I miss Next Generation where even though crazy shit would go on everyone kept a professional composure. I don't know why Season 2 is bothering me so much in ways that everyone else keeps praising it as light years beyond what I consider to be the far superior season 1. Anyway. this was one of the better episodes of the season. We found spock, which was alright. Going back to Talos 4, cool. But that probe. Oh man that probe. What happened there? Was it assimilated by the borg? What other equally horrifying possibilities could there be? The race that created Vger perhaps? Who knows! Some have theorized they are one and the same.
- The Gifted ***1/2
Decent episode of the Gifted, just in time for the finale. I predicted everything that was going to happen, from Reid's death to Blink's post credit scene. I didn't see Amy Acker wielding two guns, or killing someone, or managing not to shoot at cops for once. Also that scene where Andy and Lauren destroyed a building was pretty amazing. This could have been like episode four, without all that bullshit filler, and then we could have moved on to better stories, but instead they saved what everyone really wanted to see for a Season 3 we will never get, and I wouldn't want to anyway because they'd just squander whatever new potential they've gained for themselves, and just waste our time for another season of bullshit.
