I want to be inside my headphones
Jul. 3rd, 2004 02:48 pmHaving to keep restarting my computer is starting to get REALLY annoying. Okay, it was really annoying in the first place, but it's been getting even MORE annoying.
I wonder why I never thought to attach headphones to the computer speakers before. It's convenient when there are other people making noise in the vicinity, and I think the sound quality is actually better. The downside is that my ears start to hurt after wearing headphones for too long. It's the same way with the phone, really.
I tried to buy They Might Be Giants tickets at a different Ticketmaster outlet yesterday, but they said NO TMBG shows were listed in their database. Apparently there are some shows where you can buy tickets online, but not at Ticketmaster outlets. Of course, they're more expensive online, so it's yet another way for Ticketmaster to rip people off.
It turns out that there ARE other bosses from previous Dragon Warrior/Quest (the series is "Dragon Quest" in Japan, but they had to change it to "Dragon Warrior" for the American version, because of copyright issues with TSR, I believe) in Dragon Warrior Monsters. The other day, I fought Hargon (from Dragon Warrior II) and Pizzaro (apparently the Japanese name for Necrosaro in Dragon Warrior IV; I guess they thought misspelling the name of the conqueror of Machu Picchu would make a good name for the Ruler of Evil, and I can't say I have much argument there), but I couldn't defeat either of them. I DID beat the Axe Knight (or Mad Knight) from the first Dragon Warrior game, though. There are only three bosses I haven't seen yet. Since the hero of DW Monsters is a younger version of the hero of Dragon Quest VI, I have to wonder whether the boss from DQ6 will appear. It wouldn't seem to make much sense, but then I haven't played DQ6, so I guess I wouldn't know for sure. There actually is a part in DWM where you have to fight your older self, so I'm not sure I'd put anything past the makers of the game.
I'll bet no one is at all interested in the Dragon Warrior stuff. Has anyone who reads this even PLAYED any of those games?
