FF7 will always be the core of my nerding

when i was in elementary and middle school, i secretly played Final Fantasy on my NES. it was apparent to me, even at that age, that the rest of the girls i knew were not playing video games, let alone rpg video games, for hours and days on end. because i wanted to fit in (just like every other middle school girl ever in life), i kept it on the low.

in high school, i got Final Fantasy VII for Playstation and played it all the time. like, ALL the time. but again, totally on the down low because i didn't want my friends to know what a super nerd i was. i'd stay up late playing FF7 on weeknights. if there was nothing going on during the weekend, i'd have a secret FF7 marathon. seriously, it was an addiction. the worst part is when THE BAD THING happened, i had no one to go to with my shock and tears. damn you, Sephiroth!

but now that i'm older and have fully embraced the nerd that i truly am, i can share this with you.

Dorkly is the source.

and in case you wondered, Red XIII is my fave according to this flowchart of awesome.

in related news, i think an epic replay of this game is in my not too distant future. sadly, my original Playstation is long gone (RIP friend), so if you have any helpful info for helping make that happen, let me know!
