[Quiet Man Cometh]

Oh, a 'kick' is generally like being really into something at the moment, like on a gaming kick, or a drawing kick. Thinking about it, I'm not actually sure where I got the expression from.

And yes, ES is a horrible time sink. I played Morrowind with the same save file for over ten years before I lost it (thought I had a backup but the one I have is *way* out of date and doesn't use the expansions). That's along with the other five save files I had going at the same time with other characters. I've clocked about 80 hours in Skyrim, and I've barely touched the game's main plot line, being more occupied with doing miniquests, exploring, alchemy, more exploring, black smithing, riding around on my horse because I can, etc. The Honest Game Trailer for Skyrim on youtube covers it nicely.

When I acquire the right fabric, I'm tempted to make a small banner or dice bag with the Skyrim logo on it. When gaming and crafts come together!

And yes, Vivi. FF9 is the only one of the games besides Tactics A2 that I've actually played a decent amount. Started XII, and a little into War of the Lions. I might get WotL on a tablet if I were to get one, since I need to borrow a PSP to play my copy.
