Aniko beat Silent Hill last night! ... Well. Sort of. Technically I beat the final boss. Harder than it should have been. Think I mentioned before that she kept getting trounced by the monsters and so was healing a lot (when she wasn't dying. Haha, oh, Harry). If not, now you know. I forbid her from healing once we entered the last "area" of the game and told her to kill herself when she accidentally used the ampoule at one point. And she had to switch to a melee weapon again for a while when she ran out of handgun bullets again. Haha, it was kind of a mess, in a hilarious sort of way. HARRY HAS AN EMERGENCY HAMMER AND HE IS COMING FOR YOU. HAVE YOU SEEN A LITTLE GIRL AROUND HERE? It is in your better interest to answer.
Anyway, forcing a cessation of item usage didn't do much good because I started too late. Our state, going into the battle: one health drink, one first aid kit, one ampoule, and 50% health.
And the thing can practically kill you in one hit. It went awesomely. As I am sure you can imagine. She died a bunch of times before I offered to take a shot (...har har, pun not intended) at it. I got kind of lucky and took it out on my first attempt, and then, yay! No more Silent Hill! We got the Good+ ending because I made her do the Kaufmann sidequest and gave her the means with which to save Cybil (though was called a bitch for not telling her how to save Cybil, and actually that was how the ampoule got used the time I told her to die for it).
Next game will be Final Fantasy VIII, since she's only played VII. I have already assured her I will not make her play the scary RPG. My plan of attack is to go through the game until the end of the third disc and then swap to a file where I have all the extra GF, lots of nice spells, and am higher level than, what, 43 or something. Fun to play and all, but I can't imagine she'd greatly enjoy watching me grind everyone up and up and up and get all the weapon upgrades and die to Ultima half a million times (never even mind the task of getting down there in the first place) and fight a tonberry or twenty, et cetera. No idea when we'll be starting that, and then not sure what we'll do. I do have to replay Final Fantasy IX at some point, but who knows when we'll beat VIII. Silent Hill's a fairly short game, and that still took something like a month.
Am ridiculously tired. Blaming it on the fact that there's been snow, even though that's, you know, unrelated. Augh, not even halfway through October. We barely had summer! I'm not ready for it to be winter again.
