Oooh... Back to school stuff. Useful. ^_^

I found out about these on an e-mail notification from cdjapan. That place gets way too much of my money...

It looks more like GS is offering the points, not Sony... I'm assuming that since the rewards site is a GS site, then the points are GS points. I left GS LONG before they had this type of incentive program. But as far as I can tell, you can get these points for different stuff, depending on what kinds of promotions the company is running. Right now, it just happens to be PS3. Of course, you could say that Sony is indirectly providing these incentives, but it probably has more to do with the board of directors' desire to move an item that isn't moving that well. They want to maintain and strengthen their relationship with Sony (whatever that relationship is) and what better way than to figure out a way to move the PS3?

Classic? The music and all that is from 7. Classic would be anything BEFORE 7, I think. Funny video, though. Reminds me that some people have way too much time on their hands. Can I have some of that time? Please? ;-) Then I could play more.

I went into Sears and spoke with the manager of the electronics department. After much cajoling, he finally told me that they were supposed to tell customers that they weren't going to have any. However, he admitted that they were actually getting two. I asked what was going to happen with those two. "Are you going to sell them?" No, we'll probably have a raffle or something. What is that supposed to mean??!

I had a video game/anime wedding. Although I still wore a pretty, white dress and my husband wore a tuxedo (Asian style), everything we did revolved around video games and anime. The best part about it was that people were talking about how much fun they had for months afterward. For the ceremony, the music we had playing before hand was an arrangement of a song from Dark Cloud. When my father walked me down the aisle, it was an arranged version of the Final Fantasy theme. After the "You may kiss the bride," it was the battle fanfare from Final Fantasy VI.

Now for the reception. First of all, we had a section of the ballroom reserved for some XBox's, PS2's, and GC's, so you could play Halo, Super Smash Bros., and DDR, just to name a few games. Each table had a video game character instead of a number, so you might be sitting at the Kefka table or the Link table. Our guest list was about 175 people and I would say out of those people, maybe 25 were gamers and knew what any of it was all about. When they introduced the bridal party, they played the theme from EverQuest. The bouquet toss was the chocobo theme. The garter toss was a song from the Japanese rhythm game, Mojib Ribbon. The cake cutting was the Moogle theme. Our first dance was "Eyes on Me" from FF8. Throughout the reception, was game and anime music. Xenogears, Xenosaga, FF, Chrono Cross, Chrono Trigger, DDR, Kingdom Hearts, Silent Hill, and Wild Arms just to name a few. I had to make CD's for the DJ company since they didn't have ANY of this stuff, of course. The final song of the evening was "Dancing Mad" from FFVI. You know, that really long song that plays while you're fighting Kefka. Oh, and instead of having some cute couple on the top of the cake, we had a little figure of Vivi from FFIX. There was other stuff, too, but I can't remember... It was almost 2 years ago.

Gaming is my and my husband's passion, so it worked. I can pretty much guarantee that no one has ever had or will have a wedding quite like ours. :)
