We come to the end of our journey to tell Seymour Guado that he will never gain immortality through the use of either the Chaos Emeralds or the Dragon Balls (both trademarked, copyrighted and not sponsored by me). As we try to slap him with our 500lb sword, the dolphins get upset and demand Barret swear more, which only annoys me and my editor a lot. Thankfully, Zack--our best friend and war buddy--is semi-with us! If you want to see what I do outside of gaming, check out my novel: Lore of The Endelment.

We're told that this is the point of no return. That once we got to take on President Shinra, there will be no coming back for side quests... Thankfully, we did all those side quests, so we can go beat up Shinra! We just gotta follow the trail of Grape Juice and talk with a certain silver furred anthropomorphic hedgehog. After that, we just have to escape via the LONGEST HIGHWAY EVER!! If you want to see what I do outside of gaming, check out my novel: Lore of The Endelment.

We continue to be Hojo's science experiments as we beat up his other science experiments, with Barret having no clue what the term BULLET PROOF means as he fires blindly at a bullet proof barrier. Flaming Doggo almost got the lab coat maniac, but then magic happened because Hojo's friends with another creature--and we all know what that means... But the only thing that really concerns us is the spilling of grape juice, which we know is the work of none other than the silver hedgehog!

We begin Ch.17 with learning about three things. 1: The Pink Pony is a Cetra. 2: The Dolphins are "whispers". And 3: Barret swears WAY TOO MUCH... Seriously, kinda wish you could filter him out with an in-game option. Aside from that, we didn't learn anything, except that my gamer instincts never failed me, and that the left handed antagonist does in fact exist! :0 That's a problem!

We round things up in this chapter with finally catching up to Professor Hojo, where he tries to get data on us using a cheap boss battle and some dumb soldiers. Could gets a headache and we free the best character in existence: RED XIII. We also see a "PG-13" style of a "naked" lady, and I'm not comfortable with that, since Cloud calls it "mother".

We continue breaking into Shinra H.Q. by riding the escalators, where we learn a certain someone has been helping us. We take a slight detour through a library before going to find a man named Hojo, who is very creepy and I don't ever want to see again (and if I do, it'll be WAY too soon)... Also, we learn Man-Boy-Child: Tifa, doesn't like being in public bathrooms. If you want to see what I do outside of gaming, check out my novel: Lore of The Endelment.

We head into Shinra H.Q. with no problems whatsoever and didn't have to stab anyone to do it... Okay, so Barret might has set off a few alarms... and yelled a lot... and I swung my sword at a woman (allegedly)... and Man-Boy-Child fell--but that doesn't mean it didn't go smoothly! However, it all amounts to nothing, as we discover the best part of this games' mechanics and beauty: The Escalator!

We are now set for a one way ticket to beat up the evil corporation controlling the city of Midgar known as Shinra. No turning back! Only way is forward, and maybe a little up. Of course, for reasons unknown, Shinra soldiers are blocking our path to taking out their headquarters, so naturally we're going to swing our 500lb sword at them and see which fly off into the distance or just splatter on the floor. Also, Barret talks WAY TOO MUCH! If you want to see what I do outside of gaming, check out my novel: Lore of The Endelment.

We reach the end of Ch.14 of our adventure to find Don Corneo's lacky waiting for us, but he's not match for our 500lb sword! However, he asks us to go into the sewers with him to make use of our 500lb sword against one: Don Corneo, as we learn he's hiding in the depths of the disgusting sludge.

We continue our side questing to be taunted by a Tonberry (a very unintimidating but very powerful fiend), then teleport back and forth to talk with a few of The Trio, then another round in the colosseum to get a key to a special stash. It's filler, but destructive filler at best! :3 If you want to see what I do outside of gaming, check out my novel: Lore of The Endelment.

We begin the next chapter wandering in a dream, to later wake up in a nightmare of being forced into side quests. A man lost his birbs, a woman lost her child, and a doctor lost... his sanity. Lots of hops, skips and jumps are made to getting ourselves through the crazy that the civilians are shouting.

We make our way to the ruins of Sector 7 Slums, where we are escorted by the Goddess; Mittens, who leads us to one of our unconscious friends. There, we learn of an underground facility, which houses Human experiments that make us really hate Shinra more. There's a scary monster roaring in the facility, but unfortunately it won't be the boss of today, and even more unfortunately it won't be the last time we get spooked by it.

We sadly were not able to stop the Midgar plate from dropping, but still got the people out of the slums to another location safely. We then remembered the pinky pony had helped us in securing a child and we rush over to her house to check in. Although a crazy idea, we decide to get the pink pony back, along with making sure no one else was hurt in the collapse of the plate Shinra heartlessly destroyed.

We're in a hurry to stop Shinra from dropping the Sector 1 plate of upper Midgar onto Sector 7 slums (lower Midgar). They're attempting to blame us (Avalanche) without a care as to the 50,000+ people they're about to hurt or worse... In our rush to protect the lower city, we have Bahamut, our Lord and Savior, help us not once but TWICE in bringing down the bad guys. However, Axel stands in our way...

After plunging ourselves through the sewers, we get a wake-up call from some spirits in a graveyard. Lots of treasure to be had, but none of it useful as we venture to find the place haunted. We eventually confront the ghosts to find they just wanted to play with us, which is a bit sadistic considering they tried to murder us multiple times. And of course, Shinra is up to no good.

We get thrown down into the depths beneath the bottom of Midgar, where it smells terrible and the enemies roaming are even terrible-er. We first tackle a somewhat strong boss before having to handle puzzle solving to get from Sector 6 to Sector 7. All the while, the pink pony is doing mysterious things and the man-boy-child, Tifa, whining--as per usual. All things seem normal in this session.

We finally get to meet the famous Andrea Rhodea and square off with him in a Dance-Off. I sadly don't get a perfect score, but it was more than enough to get his approval and have me fitted to help the pink pony take on Don Corneo, who's still got Tifa held captive for some disgusting reason. This should be the final part of Chapter 9, can't wait for what insanity lies within Chapter 10. If you want to see what I do outside of gaming, check out my novel: Lore of The Endelment.

After winning the tournament to get the million gil dress, we're forced to waste time by doing things that REALLY waste time... Punching thieves, punching robots and then punching punching-bags, because PUNCHING! Oh, and the pink pony is apparently "pretty" to Cloud, so that's cool.

After finding Tifa being chosen to become Don Corneo's new bride, we fight (literally) to gain the respect of one of The Trio, learning that a double "headed" coin is also a double TAILED coin... That one of The Trio runs a very suggestive dancing audition, and the third... Let's just say; she pleases patrons. It's all very weird, but it eventually boils down to fighting in an arena to get 1 MILLION Gil just to obtain a dress for the pink pony.

We find ourselves yet again accompanied by Gainsenborough, A.K.A. The Pink Pony, with her "leading the way" to Sector 7 slums. Along the way, we have to pay up some Compensatory Damage fees, then we counter sue for lack of high-school degree on the plaintiff's part, then shortly after that never learn of the man the woman once knew because a headache deafened us. Also, Man-Child shows up. If you want to see what I do outside of gaming, check out my novel: Lore of The Endelment.

We continue to thwart off the Men In Black (no really) that call themselves TURKS, this new guy being so cool he actually brought a second pair of glasses to a fight KNOWING he'd lose the first pair! Afterwards, we do the final side quests that were left unchecked from our last video just before getting kicked out of the house we were bunking in.

Just doing random tasks to get myself recognized in the slums. Gotta do something to not get too annoyed by the overly optimistic lady that won't leave us alone. We mostly deal with kids whining and some how... a Furry makes their way into the mix. regardless, just a short break from the main game.

We crash-land in a semi-abandoned chapel from well over 100 stores and get up without a single scratch. Just another day for us. In doing so, we meet with a pony that talks about some weird bow-tie gift she has and then we fight a red-haired man with a baton. He cheats, of course, but we still manage to defeat him and carry the pink pony out to her place for a date. Never a dull moment.

As soon as we get into Mako Reactor 5, we're having to deal with an "ambush" that has us led through a maintenance facility to sabotage an upcoming boss called the Air Buster. Really silly title, nowhere as cool as Buster Sword. Regardless, we'll still need our Lord and Savior; Bahamut, to bring down the mechanized menace.

We head into the under-plate of Sector 4, where we must cut power from sun-lamps to activate several mobile lifts, just to prove Barret is afraid of heights--and also to make it forever nighttime in the slums just below. All the while, Shinra is watching us as we make our way to Sector 5 for the Mako reactor. If you want to see what I do outside of gaming, check out my novel: Lore of The Endelment.

We begin our mission to take out the next Mako reactor, where we get ambushed as per usual, swinging our 500lb sword at many machines and rats for the sake of preserving the planet. We tuck and roll out of the train and find some tables freaking out in a backroom that healed absolutely nothing. Great time waster. Oh, also, a giant mech tries to kill us.

We head out at night to take some blasting agent from a Shinra warehouse, only to meet one of the most flamboyant SOLDIERs Shinra has in their league. We race "mounts" with him until we get serious and clash sharp metal, where after he goes A.W.O.L. before we retreat. Then dolphins appear.

We find ourselves needing rep for no reason other than Tifa wants to hang out with us, and apparently we scare her so that makes total sense to stick together. As we punch and slash things, we tell a weird guy to leave and then some chick that wanted us to help her doesn't want us to help her... WAMYN...

We take the train south bound to something called The Slums, where we have to get drunk at a bar called Seventh Heaven. Not too thrilled, as I don't have the money, even though I'm rich with 100 gil after the job we just did on the Shinra generator. After which, we talk to a guy named Tifa (very odd name for a dude) and wonder if there's a fast food restaurant nearby. The usual stuff.

After making things go boom in a reactor that knocked out several blocks of power for random innocent civilians, we attempt to regroup back at a train station, where along the way I get distracted by flamey bits and someone impersonating a furry. He talks about more flamey bits and demands we give him the wish orbs, but we deny everything about power gems. Also, I get a magical 8 Ball! :D If you want to see what I do outside of gaming, check out my novel: Lore of The Endelment.

Our new JRPG adventure begins with everyone's favorite blond spiky haired SOLDIER boy... "Smoke". (Cloud). We're running fresh on Hard Mode, literally having no idea how to play the game after nearly a year of not actually playing it. Only thing that matters is I can BUTTON MASH, and that we take on Shinra--a corrupt corporation--with a rebel group called Avalanche to help our planet continue to live!
