March ~ Ice Storms and Video Games.



This is the month I was waiting for.

The month my games were coming in.

Of course there was also the dad's birthday in the start of the month, that turned out a little less than spectacular. Glad I was born in the Summer, no cold weather and really.... in August there's not a lot of weather that can be had here.  Other than Hot.

Anyways, We had a doozy of an ice storm on March 2nd... which also happened to be the day of the dad's birth. A couple years back there was a huge tornado outbreak on the same date...  I guess I can't say it was THAT bad. It actually turned out a lot milder than what the weatherman fore casted....  The temperatures for most of the month still sucked...
Nice Flowers....Cake!

Coldest March I lived through in a while.

Done with that, eventually we got to go out and celebrate his Birthday.


Games, My Games!   I rarely pre-order a game, I tend to wait for them to come out and wait a little longer for their prices to drop but.... I pre-ordered two games last year, not actually knowing their release dates at the time...

Waited.

Oh my, they were to be released about a week apart. A week.  Derp.  Oh well.


Final Fantasy X & X-2 HD -   Got it from Amazon, I really liked the first game on the PS2 and actually never finished the second one...The trophies will actually give me more of a reason to beat the second one. It's the "Limited Edition" that all the pre-orders were turned into at one point in time...
     Amazon was saying there was some sort of delay in my shipment, that I wouldn't get it till around April 1st... but that was a lie. It shipped from a warehouse pretty near by and got here the Thursday after release. Yey!
       The release is really pretty.... Only downside is that I wish it had a game box.  The disc is nestled into the art book which is in a slip cover type box.  I'll have to make myself a case for the game so that it's actual case won't get damaged from use.







The Witch and the Hundred Knight-  Ordered from Target, during a sale or possibly a price glitch. This
was the first time I ever used Targets website for anything and really... the way they handle their pre-orders is a pain.   The pre-order was in the beginning of November, they must have pinged my account twice a week every week after the pre-order...
    Twice, is that really necessary?  This of course had me thinking it was a price error and they were finding a way to back out of the deal.  Lots of peoples got canceled, somehow mine never did. Which is nice...
     Part of me wanted to cancel and buy the Collectors Edition straight from NISA for the cute little Metallica Nendoroid, but...the price.... Yea.... I'm cheap.  Oh well.
      I'd been waiting for a couple years for this game anyways and oddly, I never knew a thing about it...  Even getting it's name wrong quite often. "Hundred Knight" not "Hundred Knights".   Whoops.
    Got the game the Thursday after release, It has a reversible cover which I feel all games and DVD types should have... It also came with a CD which I wasn't really aware of.  <3  Gotta Love NISA.
     Overall, the experience with Target online was okay.... I never got a shipping Email though. Derp.  Then, I never received an order confirmation either.  Meh.







Network Purchases;  Nothing!  Was playing Saints Row 4 most the month, Until FFX got here at least. I didn't even look at the sales for the month.  The free games this month were pretty good though...


Tomb Raider -  The PS3 Version, only got to play a little of it before I switched back over to SR. I need to get back to it eventually, it was okay.... at least the 30 minutes of it that I played was.

Lone Survivor-  This game is going to drive me insane, I kind of suck at it. Everything is "missable" and you have to play through it a few times...

Thomas Was Alone-  Haven't downloaded it yet, but I will......




Final Fantasy HD -                                       42.36
Witch and the Hundred Knight-                    21.00


Total:                                            63.36
