This post brought to you by the characters P and 3.

One day, I feel like I should write the Big Damn Shin Megami Tensei/Persona Post about why I love this series and spin-off series so much, about the characters and plots and mechanics and gameplay and philosophy and everything else. Because it's at the point where I'm contemplating the prices on the Persona 1 PSP remake, because that's about the only way I can still throw money at Atlus (other than buying SMT: Strange Journey).

I have also realized that I have bought P3 3 times, in 3 different forms. I don't actually regret this at all.

I guess it's because where lots of other people pick up TV shows to sink time into and find glee in, I do it with games. And if I've seemed a bit distant lately, it's because I don't know how to talk to people on my flist about this. I can post about it, but it's not...I don't know. I want to make people understand, because yes, I love them, but I also think other people would too. I dunno. I guess I can't see much difference in time commitment to spending 60 hours on a game and watching 60 hours worth of TV. :/

Maybe my brain's wired strangely.

I don't think it's strange and, yeah, 60 hours on media is 60 hours on media. I think everyone's brain works differently in what media they grab on to, and just as not everyone is drawn to the same tv show, not everyone is grabbed to same media.

I just wish I shared your interest in games so we could talk about it - sometime I should get you to sit me down and work me through a bit of one so I can see your glee about it.

(I realize we are enough time zones off right now that this might be too little, too late)

(THANK YOU!)

(*shrug* It got a bit easier when I realized the guy I was interviewing with whose job I'd possibly be taking over after he left had once been in the same student group as me at the same time. "Oh hey, I think I know you.")

Yeah, everyone's different in what they like. Maybe I'm frustrated with my inability to get into the media everyone else on my flist is flailing gleefully over. "I'll...I'll just be sitting here with my DS."

I wish so too! I mean, I've just been talking a lot lately with friends outside the computer about 'em. Which is great! We recently sat a friend down and gave her the games we've been raving about. She...kinda glued herself to the couch for a week and a half. It was funny.
