I can't get into RPG's, FF games leave me cold, I've tried oh god have I tried, but I just want to slap the characters around whilst screaming grow the fuck up you effeminate retards. I just don't understand the depth people get into one game or one genera, WOW players make my brain bleed when they get together. All the tiny nuances of frame counting and polygon numbers in the graphics just seems to get away from the idea of games as fun. I suppose that's why I'm not a good online player, I can't be bothered to learn all the intimate details of a game when another will be around in 6 months to a year. I will play to win but when you see a newly released game and the people in the list of players have hour upon hour of playtime I just wonder if they are missing the point and if they actually have more to their lives than the latest releases. I guess I'm just a casual gamer. I’m a pretty relaxed bloke, I’ll play anything usually, hell I’ve just pre-ordered Endless ocean 2.

Well, your friend is welcome here in Quebec, but damn he's chosen THE WORST time of year to come here. February is typically so cold it actually hurts. Tell him to buy long underwear and that Kanuk coats (http://www.kanuk.com/) are expensive but are really warm and look in good condition for years. (I'm not going to say they look attractive for years, because it's a bulky heavy coat and you look like a puffy potato in most of them). As for the FF Fan, I suppose he's one of those who cried over whatshername dying in FF IV. I probably would have joined the guys playing the fighting games then left in disgust after half an hour because all of the Asian guys knew all the combos that ate away half my health. At least if the (now dead) local arcade scene was any indication. Latah!
