I have a lot of things to talk about that none of you will care about. If it's a little random, skip to the last paragraph, cuz that's important and I need your imput.*evil grin*

*spoilers for path of radiance*
First thing is that I got Fire Emblem Shadow Dragon when it came out, got to Chapter 11 and stopped playing for a while. You see, I want to finish Path of Radiance first. I'm at Bertram. Blarg, you stupid paladin who is really Renning.
*end of spoilers*

And this is my Shadow Dragon review so far.
Graphics are very good, very original and 3D. The mug shots are so detailed, they're creepy, but you get used to 'em.
Gameplay is awesome, the chapters (so far) are challenging but not impossible. But I don't like that you can't rescue other units. It gets sooo annoying.
Story is also good, though I don't like how only about three characters are involved with the plot. The characters get their one chapter to shine and after that, they are barely heard from. This is obviously a result of so many characters.
Support is terrible because there is none. I know there was no support in the original Famicom version, but some support conversations would have helped reveal more about the characters and give them a little more screen time.

There's the pros and cons. I kinda hate the story bit and the fact that some of my favourite characters from the anime and manga (Julien, Cain and Abel mostly.) Have almost no part in the story. I also don't like how they changed Oguma and Shiida's names to Ogma and Caeda. But I do like the gameplay and graphics.

I gots a haircut about a week ago. Its a little past my shoulders instead of somewhere near my waist. I really like it, but it makes me look more mature. Oh well, just cause I look mature doesn't mean I am.

Requests opening up was a bad idea. They're closing again. I need to work on the two art trades I have cause I'm a procrastinator.

I found a good anime based on the game, Tales of Phantasia. I've never played the game and I'm aware many parts are left out, but it's a very good 4 episode series and I strongly recommend you watch it. You can see it on Youtube in both English and Japanese. ArchexChester ftw! ^^

I've been listening to Avenue Q songs too much. My faves are "What do you do with a B.A. in English?/ It Sucks to be Me", "There's a Fine, Fine Line", "There's a Fine, Fine Line (reprise)/ What do you do with a B.A. in English? (reprise)", "The More you Ruv Someone", "The Money Song" and "If you were Gay". They're pretty amusing. ^^

Okay, important stuff.
I'm wanting to save up for a Tablet. If someone has one, could you tell me what kind it is, what it does and what other kind you might recommend. i'm thinking of a Wacom Intuos 9x11. Any input would be awesome. You can comment or send me a note. I'll probably get it quicker if it's a note.

omg lucky. Shadow dragon's not what i thought, but hey, its a fire emblem game and that's good enough for me. ^^ The anime's really good and you can watch the whole TWO EPISODES (omg short) with english subtitles on Youtube...unless you understand Japanese.
