Advertising works. I saw an ad for a demo flash verion of Lock's Quest and, being somewhat interested in that game, tried it out.

See for yourself.

It's kind of what I was afraid it might turn into: a DS version of Defend your Castle. Clicking (or, in the final DS version, tapping) a lot of foes isn't going to make for a fun game. Admittedly, this is severely dumbed-down and for all I know may not resemble the actual game in any way, shape, or form.

But if the DS version ends up being like this or even has any segments like this, I'm going to be disappointed. I was hoping very much for a more strategic experience and this feels like a DS-custom button-masher.

Also, I wrote a review forFinal Fantasy Tactics Advance 2. I actually kinda like it...but then again, I wrote it.Feel free to check it out and let me know what you think.

So, tonight the Redskins are taking on the New York Giants in the NFL season opener. Go 'skins. Should be a good time.

And I don't have an INSANE amount of homework tonight, so I can actually watch it. Huzzah!

So, school officially started today. I do love waking up at six-thirty, stumbling into the shower, trying to force some food into my angry body, and then driving five minutes to enter six hours of hell (school) followed by another three hours of hell (sports).

Anyway, I'm actually pretty happy with my classes (the workload, not so much). I've got AP US History, followed by a free period (Huzzah -- first time I've had a free period as long as I've been in high school ), then AP Biology, then Comparative Literature, then Latin III (oh how I hate it) and finally precal.

Overall, not bad. But junior year officially sucks. The workload is insane and I'm an idiot just for wasting time to write this blog post. I've got easily a hundred pages of reading tonight over various subjects along with some twenty-five math problems. Crap.
