What hard core gamer...

I just read this and laughed - pffft, 20 hours a month = hard core gamer??? what a joke!

"so-called hard-core online gamers -- people who play for 20 hours or more a month -- now make up about a third of the gaming community."

Hrmmm, since I'm on the topic of games, I'll write this here. I just finished watching Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children, and it was actually pretty good. I was kind of weary of it since I didn't know what they could do in a well known Final Fantasy universe (and the world in Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within setting doesn't really count as a FF universe). Anyway, it appears they've taken a step back from realistic physics and took to the cartoon physics of Toy Story/Monster's Inc (the jumpy/jerky motion if you don't understand what I'm talking about). I felt this was a good idea because while the graphics and details were awesome, they still had a CG aura. It was basically like watching a 1.5hr FMV - and FF fans typically enjoy their FMVs :D The one main thing that I found annoying, which could be considered big, was that there were some quite noticeably awkward change of pace, either by a change in music or cutting to another scene. However, the movie was pretty fast paced, so it's forgiven (and I admit I might be biased as it's FF :D) The fight scenes were actually pretty neat. I've gotta say, if I'm to be beaten up by a girl, oh please, PLEASE, let it be by Tifa!
