But, I have no art to show. A chance to obtain a printer/copier/scanner combo did present itself, but I decided to purchase food instead of something that would let me show of the crappy doodles I do once every blue moon.

But, I do have something to post about. Three words: Chrono Trigger DS. I have it, and I'm currently in the midst of conquering the new Dimensional Vortex dungeons. So far, I've been pleased with the re-translantion. It's closer to the original Japanese script, but it's still americanized. I'm kind of on the fence with how Frog seems to have only lost his accent while retaining his americanized personality. On one hand, I've always liked Frog being portrayed as a polite, courteous, somewhat proper knight. On the other hand, I would have enjoyed seeing him call Magus a "pale faced bastard", or Ayla an idiot. I guess the noble knight verision is still a fan favorite.

One change I absolutely hate is Jonny being "bro" instead of "THE MAN". Jonny is, and always will be THE MAN, dammit!

Translations aside, I'm enjoying the extra content, especially the new dungeons and enemies(I don't care if they're pallete swaps or recolors. If they weren't in the SNES version, they're brand new to me). I think I may actually go for all thirteen endings. That means multiple playthroughs, but I've played through the SNES version at least 25-30 times so it shouldn't be too hard. Considering that at least five of those playthroughs were just equipment runs to obtain the best possible armor and weapons for everyone, and the rest were just to play with a different party, use different strategies, get three perfect records, and just for fun, I feel pretty confident about completely conquering the game this time around.

Hell, I may play through Chrono Cross when I'm done with CT DS just so I can hurt my brain contemplating the whole Chrono continuity.
