We're already seven days into the Advent Calender and December as well! Time sure flies, huh? For today, I'd like to hear about some fandoms that you're loving right now! Have you gotten into anything new lately or perhaps found yourself revisiting an old series? Or maybe it's just something you've always enjoyed. Anime series, books, video games--even if you're just really fond of certain characters right now, I'd love to hear about them!

Answering will net you 1 red character choice card! Remember that you can take your card immediately, without waiting for my answer! This post will be open until December 31st.

Right now I really, really loving Nier. I feel as a game with a low budget, they did a lot of great things to keep their limited dungeons fresh and exciting and it's one of the few games I'm trying to get manage a 100% for. Even the pain-in-the-ass gardening and fishing sidequests are a nice, relaxing thing to work on. I also just really love the party members and it's one of the few RPGs where I struggle to pick a single favorite character. Papa Nier is fantastic, Emil is adorable and Kaine is Kaine. I just completely adore them!

I've also been working on Final Fantasy X. The only FFs I've ever actually gotten around to beating was VII and XIII and so far I'm finding that X is the most challenging one I've played. The conditional turn-based system is really neat and I spend quite a fair amount of time considering my next move in some of the more challenging boss fights. I am very close to finishing that one since I'm at the final boss and I have X-2 waiting for when I finish up.

And to show I'm always behind in gaming, I've recently gotten ahold of a copy of Pokemon Black and have been enjoying the storyline to that one a fair bit...to the extent that Pokemon is ever about story. The rivals are super cute and I really like a lot of the new Pokemon that came out in that gen, with my favorites so far being Purrloin and Audino.

AND WHILE TALKING ABOUT OLD GAMES, I SHALL TAKE FERAL11. Tales of the Abyss is still one of my favorite games just on the basis of the characters being so great, I love like...all of them. My card post probably shows this quite well, given how many Abyss decks I've completed and mastered (slowly).
