SOIL IS MY POWER!
I recently began watching Final Fantasy Unlimited again, I had to use Demonoid since iTunes doesn't yet sell it, and I refuse to buy dvds, they just pile up and when you move, most of the baggage is just moving them with you, we're in the age of Terabyte hard drives, Gigabyte Micro-SD cards, and we're using DVDs for storing video media, waste of space in my opinion.
Blu-ray isn't so bad, but why bother with spinning media at all anymore, just stick more ram in the machine and buffer the data if you can't read that fast, you have to wait a few seconds just for booting up a dvd, part of which is just loading them damn piracy warnings. Why the hell do they stick them on the actual dvd, you were honest enough to buy the DVD, and they're still telling you off.
No wonder the RIAA go after people for downloading music, they don't lose money from people not buying cds, they lose money on the campaigns and advertisements they put out to the people they do, and need to sue the pirateers to fund it.
Anyways, my point was, I love Final Fantasy Unlimited, I don't usually say this, but the dubbed version is so much better than the japanese version. The voices just don't match the characters in the original Japanese.
Al Bhed Translator
An encoder / decoder for the Final Fantasy 10 language of Al Bhed. This small script I wrote which converts Al Bhed into English, and English into Al Bhed, the one main downside to the script is that all the letter changes are hardcoded as they are random.
Not really useful, but it was the first script I wrote for mIRC. Although being pointless, it did lead to more scripting being wrote, such as Away Beep, and eventually KalDLL.
