Main fruit is Oranges. Got a letter in the mail from "mom" and got some cherries, which I just planted today so probably won't be ready quite yet. Need all the other types of fruit.
I'm actually pretty darn excited to get my hands on Remake and see what they've done with it.
Crisis Core is amazing and it's a little sad to know that not many people have/will ever experience it. It's a fun little game and I fully agree that it makes Zack such a likeable and tragic figure. I will fully admit to bawling my eyes out during that ending, despite the fact that we essentially knew what was going to happen to him before the game even starts. If that's not a testament to how well they wrote the character and the story, I dunno what is.
Plus the part where characters start disappearing from your DMW wheel as the last fight progresses and Zack gets closer to his inevitable fate... man, what a fantastic way to marry gameplay and storytelling.
Had this happen a while back with both GB Video Buddy and GBTV. It went away after I went to sleep and tried it the next day.
Unfortunately, it just now returned after trying to download the Extra Life stream archives on GBTV. I’ll wait until the morning and try again to see if that resolves anything.

So I ended up getting FF7 on PS4 the other day since it was on sale, and that version seems fine enough. There was some hitching, which was a bit odd, but otherwise it performed as expected.
Also, I remember the story making absolutely no sense, but thought Chrono Cross played fine. I also think it got a lot of undeserved hate because it wasn't the Chrono Trigger sequel everyone wanted, but it wasn't a dumpster fire. Then again, after re-visiting FFXIII by way of your blog, I'm not so sure of anything anymore, lol...
Hate is a strong word. I was under the impression that he did not particular like or enjoy his time with the RDR, but that was also due to his distaste for westerns and the setting they take place in. It's not that he hated it, it just didn't play in his wheelhouse.
I don't believe he'll hate RDR2, and I'm sure he can appreciate its strengths and what it does well from a distance, but I'd also be fairly sure that he'll have zero desire to play the game past maybe a handful of hours, if he can even make it past the first couple.
I pretty much watch everything, even if I can't get to it right away. I'm a few episodes behind on the Aftermath podcast, and I might not consume everything in the Giant Bomb Presents podcast feed, but I will watch most video content on the site.
I have some stuff to get caught up on this week because, as OP mentioned, there was a ton of stuff this week, and it happened to be the busiest time at work at the same time, so I'd be doing (minimum) 9-9 shifts and not have a lot of free time after work to watch stuff, maybe like an hour or so.
I'd definitely say I'm in the minority of people who watch everything, but half the time I'm just interested in the banter more than the game itself, and there's usually something funny enough to make the vids worth watching (to me anyways).
Did I? I have a terrible memory so it's not outside the realm of possibility, but I honestly don't remember saying that? Or at least that specifically.
With reading through your blogs, I've come to understand how non-sensical and bullshit the story is. However, I still did really enjoy the combat, and I do remember saying it's a shame that it doesn't completely open up until later on because you're stuck with just 2 people in your party for the majority of the game. I actually don't remember doing a whole lot of the side stuff in Gran Pulse.
Oh, yeah, and the whole thing with Hope and Fang's doubts cropping in again to heavy handedly shove in Eidolon fights there was dumb, I agree with you wholeheartedly there. I remember thinking that even as I was playing the game the first time through back when it first came out.
Edit: And yeah, and that Bart boss fight is total bullshit! I remember dying there so many times, and I think at some point I may have put it down and came back hours later/the next day because I was so angry I couldn't think straight.
Was waiting all along for reviews because although it looked real good from the E3 trailer during Sony's press conference, I wanted to wait and hear more. Since then, after seeing reviews from Easy Allies, Kinda Funny and now Giant Bomb, I'm sold. I bought it last night on PSN so it can pre-load and be ready to play right when it unlocks.
