MILES to GO || before I sleep

I spent too long on That Site and ended up stumbling across this one, about Console RPG clichés.

A few stood out to me for there being a game I knew/played/was popular that broke the mold. Yay, fandom! Sometimes.

Interestingly, some are just plain wrong. And others made me remember all kinds of games and their characters, big and small. I had no idea clichés were so prevalent, but now I am thusly enlightened: and you can be, too!



And that's all...for now, folks!

So now that Hana Yori Dango 2: Returns is airing, I'm back to thinking about the glorious TAFF that is HYD. The great thing about the drama is that while it incorporates so many of the arcs and character -isms that the manga had, it's a whole different beast in how it goes about it. For one thing, it's more modern. They picked an astounding cast-- I wasn't so sure about ANY of them at first, but they certainly proved their salt in the last season. MatsuJun has most definitely grown on me, but watching HYD2 has me leaning toward the Oguri Shun camp.

( Or should I say 'Hanazawa... Rui'? SPOILERS AHOY! )

I think this was just a very stream-of-conscious post, because my brain is all frazzled. Yup.
