Revenant Wings Black Out?

I woke up today to rain and a blackout. Not some of the best things you look forward to when you wake up. The electricity had been out for quite a long time, about eight hours. When the electricity had come back on, waiting on the internet router to connect took its time as well. I was afraid it would have been out all night.

With the power out, I didn't have many options all by myself. However, I had done something that I absolutely usually never do. Read a book. And, just like past experiences, I would read, but I wouldn't read for long. I got to about chapter four in this book before I stopped and proceeded to wander around the house. The book that I read was A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini.

So far it's nice, but a little unpleasant what with the situation that the main character is currently in. I don't know if it's a book that I would read to the end or not. My interest in reading is just very low, but even with that being said, there are books that I've finished. Aside from picture books.




So with all of the Final Fantasy XII I've been playing, I realized I'd never played Revenant Wings. I wanted to give it a try because I had heard it was an RTS (Real time strategy) game, and those are the types of games that I do not touch often. I ended up playing it and so far, this is the second RTS game I've played, and by far, one that I like. The controls are easy to learn, battling is quite fun. You get to issue commands to members in your party and such, having them run all over the battlefield to get rid of fiends to complete your objective.

The main characters from the previous game of course are in this as well, some being controllable characters, and others that just make cameo appearances. I'm not all that far in the game yet, but so far you have Vaan and Penelo, followed by Kytes, and another girl that is part of your beginning group. As you go further into the game, your group expands as you find more people along the journey. I'll dive more into this game another time. I'm not completely all that far enough to say more about it.
