One of the best in the franchiseFF10 FTW
FFX is definitely my favourite in the franchise. I have a ridiculously awesome save on my memory card with every character around the entire sphere grid. I must have spent every day for a whole year playing that game.
The mail came, finally got the Blu-rays I ordered earlier this week. Two great films for only £10 each. <3 Play.com
A while back, doomz (go follow btw) posted an image of many recognisable people and characters from various places in the style of upcoming DS game Scribblenauts.
Earlier this afternoon, I received an IM from my friend Ben who linked me to a new set of “Scribblenautsified” characters by Egg Doodles, except this time from Final Fantasy VII and all the major Street Fighter series (II, Alpha, III and IV) and thought I’d share it with the world.
Click-through to see the full set. I’m sure I won’t have have to go ahead and name all of this lot
;)
Although I’ve been busy this weekend watching Evo and also celebrating my friend’s 21st birthday, I have got to mention the awesomeness that is The Final Fantasy Marathon being held by the folks over at TheSpeedGamers:
“TheSpeedGamer’s Final Fantasy marathon to raise money for ACT Today begins Friday July 17th @ 6pm cst and will last one week (168 hours straight!). Final Fantasy 1-12 will be played with no tool assistance. A game feed will be hosted here on our site www.TheSpeedGamers.com alongside a commentary feed and chatroom.

The commentator and estimated game schedules will be posted soon.”
They’re currently on the fifth game on their list (Final Fantasy III) and will soon be approaching the behemoth that is Final Fantasy VII. They also forget to mention that they are also doing this marathon in hopes to raise $20,000 for charity, something which I truly admire after raising over £500 toward Cancer Research UK for a Rock Band Marathon me and my friend Matt did earlier this year at The Gathering 2009 in Norway.
I should be tuned in all week and I’ve already donated, so good luck guys, all the best!
My name's Tom although I often go by my surname 'Lawrence' amongst local friends. I'm a British postgrad student from Sheffield now living in Hull where I study in my fourth and final year for a MEng in Computer Science (and previously Japanese for two years).
I waste way too much of my time on the Internet, here's my blog to prove it.
