Hello again, and happy Hamzakah!! Surprisingly not a lot of cblogs today aside from the Hamzakah blogs, although I've always thought it's a good idea to hold off a post when possible if a meme is brewing.

Gamewise has been interesting this week. Made a decision that I was going to forgo some of the extra stuff and try to finish Lost Odyssey. This means I won't be getting all the skills, treasures or spells. Of course as soon as I started to make preparations for the final area, I saw there were one or two really good skills from Sed that the immortals should learn that I hadn't yet. So I went to Numara Atoll, where I remembered there was an optional boss I could fight. After that I figured I might as well fight the other optional bosses (I had already beaten the tough one at the Temple of Enlightenment), then I realized it wouldn't take too much more effort to beat the Backyard and challenge that insanely hard boss there.

This is exactly why I try to avoid RPGs! It's an amazing game, but it's taken 70 hours of my life over several months! I just don't have the time to dedicate to a game that massive. :'(

The latest meme to grace the community blogs of Destructoid was Hamzakah. A totally made up holiday that started from what I can tell on this post for a completely unknown reason. While lots of people posted (I believe that my bling Hamza avatar is the best contribution, here's a list of the people who made cblogs specifically dedicated to Hamzakah:
