According to a few parts of the Internet, today is Video Games Day -- not National Video Games Day, mind, which is September 12. But in honor of that, I decided to hunker down and play some vidya... after spending time writing some bios about my pixel dragons, of course.

Today I was tripping like mad in Animal Crossing: New Leaf, which meant I had bad luck ('luck' is a factor in this game)... and yet I caught a scorpion, one of the rarest insects in the game. LOLwut?

I've also been tossing around the idea of making a video game using RPG Maker for a while. It's probably a little more ambitious than I can hope to achieve as an amateur, but it's hardly a world-sprawling epic -- it takes place in the same city the whole way through, because the main character (a cute fox girl named Lilia) is trapped in a time loop and is trying to get out. Usually when I write things down for other people to see, I come up with my best ideas on the spur of the moment, so I might make a little write-up of this game soon.

(OTHER NEWS: I actually went and made a list of all the games I have to finish; they're in my Backloggery. I never realized how many Final Fantasy titles I own and haven't played to completion...)
