I was convinced a few hours ago that I would post a scathing attack on FF7 and it's lack of XP compatibility, which I would normally deal with, but there was one particular area (the Whirlwind maze, if that means anything to you) that was darn near impossible to get through because the game was running too fast. Thankfully, I somehow managed to do it after, oh, 20 tries and 3 blue screens. I often get a PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA message, with the driver at fault being nv4_disp.dll, which is very annoying. There are rumours that the latest nVidia 61.12 drivers are actually compatible with FF7, but I guess we'll never know, considering that I won't play the game for another four years (at least). It's funny, so now I've played the game when I was 14, 16, and now 20 (19.5 to be precise, but close enough). Perhaps I should make this a regular thing? That would be silly, of course.

Ah apparently the exam results are out soon. That ought to be fun. Don't know why I mentioned that, I tend to keep such rot away from this blog, but anyway, now it's set in stone for the rest of eternity.

The Day After Tomorrow was entertaining, although I was perhaps overly concerned with how realistic it is for a full-scale catastrophe like that to happen as a result of global warming. It's funny, you hear people talk about these things all the time but you rarely pay any attention (perhaps I am being too presumptuous, perhaps you do?) except when there is a direct, pressing matter. F'rinstance, all this talk about renewable sources of energy, and how we're going to use up resources very soon used to be talked about when I was smaller, but now there seems to be this atmosphere of apathy. I remarked that as I got home today, I would immediately forget all about the problems of global warming, and go back into my little world. But is that what the majority of the world is like too? I sure hope not. I feel vaguely inspired to actually do something about the problems that are facing our planet. Gosh darn it, have I been playing too much FF7!? Perhaps I am scared of Weapon rising from the ocean and killing us all, eh?
