Polygons are getting more action than me

I have a complaint. There are too many video games with the theme of love. Final Fantasy 6 through to 10 all have love as the main theme of the game, and goddammit it's annoying. Just for once I'd like to control a main character who just wants to see the world, adventure, collect treasure, and kill goblins; not some pimply faced teenager who falls in love with another member of the party where one of the two invariably die after some dramatic love scene set to the tune of some romantic piano theme.

Even in Lord of the Rings: The Third Age, my main female elf character kissed my human ranger after he saved her, at which point I sighed a breath of disappiontment. There's no time for love when Sauron is collecting his forces against the races of middle earth! Put that back in your pants, Berethor! The Balrog is hot on our tails!

I had some people over at my house after some of us went for a prime rib dinner at the Prospector. Chris came from the hockey game, and he brought Alexa! I hadn't seen her in a year and a half...that is, back when I was happy, when I had something really worth living for. It's hard to hang out with your old friends when you're scared of running face first into your past.

Listening to... My mom's piano student
Link of the moment... Decent movie, but awesome theme song
