So everyone's remaking old games nowadays. And if it's not a remake, then it's on Virtual Console or XBLA. But there are some that are begging for a remake in Kai's head, but no such remake or rerelease has appeared. Here are the five that would make Kai a happy, broke gamer.
- Final Fantasy VII: Yes, a lot of people are tired of the Compilation of Final Fantasy VII by now, but I still think that this would be great if they remade it for the PSP (or PS3, whichever makes you happy). Ignoring the fact that they'd make even more money, I'd just love to be able to play it again where the characters' emotions and actions are being portrayed the way Kitase and Nomura imagined them without technical limitations. (Because seriously, how many times did Cloud do that scratching his head thing?) Things are looking up, though.
- Pokemon Gold/Silver/Crystal: The 2nd Generation was, in my opinion, the best of them all. So why not remake them along with Red and Green? My only thing with Fire Red and Leaf Green, however, was the music. It's too ridiculously happy and chirpy for my tastes. Bring it down a notch and it'll all be good.
- Dragon Warrior (Quest) III: Played this back when I was about 14 for Game Boy Color, then lost it and haven't played it since. But I loved it. Maybe a rerelease for Game Boy Advance? Something!
- Golden Sun I and II: Awesome on GBA, even better for a console with updated graphics and all...? And why was Isaac only an Assist Trophy in Brawl?
- Kingdom Hearts RE: Chain of Memories: I know this is out, but it's not here. And unfortunately, Kai has no funds to mod her PS2 and import the game. Help us out a little, Squeenix!

Things That Are Awesome - Recess
Remember recess? Remember when we were all little, running around the playground screaming our lungs out without a care in the world? And the teacher would occasionally stop us and be like, 'Are y'all crazy??'
Yeah. Recess was good. So why can't we have it any more?
You can't tell me high schoolers don't need recess. You want us to behave and not be so rowdy during class? Give us a break sometime! There's lunch, sure, but most of that time (here, anyway, and there's not much time) goes to standing in line to get some food that I wouldn't give to those people living upstairs who wake me up all the time. If we had some time to let off some steam, maybe we'd be more prepared to listen.
Of course, we're supposed to be preparing for adulthood and going off to college and all. But then, if you think about it, we're being babied through school anyway. It's a little like standing on the diving board with your mother holding your hand and encouraging you, but then your mother turns into a tentacle monster and shoves you off into the deep end. And then walks off laughing. So why not just give us a little more fun time before we get dumped into the water?
(The senior part of me wants to say that once we leave high school, forget everything I said. If we didn't get it, no one does!)

World of Warcraft - Guilds
The title of this blog, Insert Random Name Here, comes from the name of my guild on World of Warcraft (Antonidas, Alliance). I started it back in September (or something) of 2007 with a couple friends from our first guild. And everything was happy and whatnot until last November. Then drama issues struck, as they always do. An officer and his girlfriend had issues and left, and life issues caught up to me just as my time ran out. A couple months later, we managed to get the guild leader changed and I stopped playing as much.
And then yesterday I hear that the guild doesn't exist anymore.
It's weird. Why do we get so involved in something that doesn't really have all that much bearing on our real lives? I like to keep my real life separate from my internet life, to the point that I think Kairiki and [real name deleted, haha] are nearly separate personalities. So when that happened, and the guild was sort of breaking (at least to me), I had to let it go.
A lot of people have berated me for just abandoning the guild like that (I did a lot of that myself), but they've done better with their new guild leader. So all the best to them; I will probably be playing my blood elf (who is hawt).
And as a side note, Insert Random Name Here came about because we didn't want a dramatic name. Also, none of us had any good ideas for names. And it stuck. And people said it was awesome, so therefore it was awesome.
