Clearly there is something wrong with me.

It is inevitable that I rant about whatever I happen to be doing in my spare time to the people I talk to. travelers_flame heard a bit about my Jak exploits and wanted to see the games, see the plot, etc.

She didn't want to play them.


...

So, I beat Jak and Daxter in what was probably under ten hours (look, I have no idea what my time was, and that seems like a very safe guess), still managing to snag 100 Power Cells (a different 100, ha) and more Precursor Orbs than last time.

It's apparently turned into a second Ecco, in that I proclaim to hate every section of the game. Also, I hate Lurker sharks. A lot. (I did die considerably less, at least. Not that I only died a little, just that I died less. I was still crying from laughing too hard at a few of those places I just can't survive in. Why is death funny?)


Now we've started Jak II, we've only just turned the water back on, and I am dreading the racing. But Torn is still awesome, and I didn't realize we "met" (read: saw) Tess so early. (Also, grr, Kor. I hate you.)

Though the opening of that game makes a whole lot more sense now that I know what's going on.

I'm continuing the trend of dying less so far. I really hope it continues!

It amused me far too much that, if you fell into the water too many times, it would get fed up and eat you whether you'd got to safety or not.

Yes! Spargus! LEAPER LIZARDS ARE AWESOME, even if they do die far too easily. (Did you ever try swimming off the coast of Spargus? Giant octopus.)

Laughing at Jak's unfortunate deaths is the only way to get through those games, I think.

OH, GOD, ARE YOU SERIOUS? No. That's horrible.
