The weekend of a lifetime.

[War]

Well, not really, but it was still a pretty good weekend. On Saturday, I stayed up till midnight and was finally able to beat NIER. Wow, such an awesome game. Superb story, voice acting, and characters. The best soundtrack out of any game this generation. Original and inspired character, enemy, and town designs. It's a breath of fresh air for the JRPG genre. I might try to 1000/1000 it, but some of the achievements look quite annoying. Either way, I'm still gonna get all the endings (there's 4 of them!) just to have a complete understanding of the story.

If you're a fan of RPGs and want to get something that is different and delivers extremely well in most aspects, then please, do yourself a favor and pick up NIER.

So anyway, today was Mother's Day, so I took my mom out to eat at a Brazilian restaurant. Shit was so cash. Then I got home and someone purchased my S9 on Amazon. Later that evening, I went on ebay to look for an iPod Touch. I found an auction that had a refurb 32GB 3G Touch for 215 bucks, with 2 minutes left on the timer. I ran to my mom's laptop, logged in to her ebay account, and bid 220 with 10 seconds left. I ended up winning the auction! So I should be getting my new Touch sometime in the next week. I can't wait.

Congrats on winning that Touch! I actually never knew you could do that kind of "hit and run" bidding on eBay.

I want to check out NIER, but I heard the gameplay's very repetitive. Your opinion?

[noob] What does NIER stand for? [/noob]

EDIT: sorry, thought it was an abbreviation, couldn't have guessed that it was the full name of the game.
