Final Fantasy 25th Anniversary Set [I Want!]

Can you believe the Final Fantasy franchise is now 25 years old?!?

In celebration of this iconic anniversary, Square Enix will be releasing the “Final Fantasy 25th Anniversary Ultimate Box,” which includes all 13 of the core Final Fantasy games in one marvelous collection.

Here’s the full list of games (notice that Final Fantasy XIV, Final Fantasy X-2, and Final Fantasy XIII-2 were kept out 😛 ).

  • Final Fantasy (PS1, 1 disc)
  • Final Fantasy II (PS1, 1 disc)
  • Final Fantasy III (PSP, 1 disc)
  • Final Fantasy IV (PS1, 1 disc)
  • Final Fantasy V (PS1, 1 disc)
  • Final Fantasy VI (PS1, 1 disc)
  • Final Fantasy VII International (PS1, 4 discs)
  • Final Fantasy VIII (PS1, 4 discs)
  • Final Fantasy IX (PS1, 4 discs)
  • Final Fantasy X (PS2, 1 disc)
  • Final Fantasy XI Vana’diel Collection 2 (PS2, 1 disc)
  • Final Fantasy XII (PS2, 1 disc)
  • Final Fantasy XIII (PS3, 1 disc)

Unfortunately, Square Enix has not ported all the games into one system. 🙁 This means that you would need a PS3, PS2 (which also plays PS1 games), and a PSP to play all 13 games.

The Human Mind Can Be a Disgusting Place

One of the most memorable novels I have ever read is American Psycho by Brett Easton Ellis. (And in case you weren't aware, yes the movie is based on the book.) While the book is meant as a satire of 1980s American materialism, greed, and superficiality, the reader cannot help but be horrified — and transfixed! — by the narrator's description of his murders and the thought process that goes behind them. It's actually a great read for those who do not easily get queasy, or can appreciate genius in its various forms. When I read the book for the very first time back in my early twenties, I remember thinking that the author must have one sick mind to even IMAGINE these...

1988: A Great Year for Movies

Illustrator Andrew Wilson has done a fantastic job creating the following poster in celebration of some of the greatest movies of 1988. Can you recognize all four movies referenced in the poster? I'm loving the tributes to Akira and Beetlejuice, but I'm a bit disappointed that another great 1988 movie — Die Hard — wasn't included. (Did you know that J gifted me the Die Hard trilogy in Blu-Ray for my first Mother's Day? He knows me so well!  :mrgreen: ) Can you think of any other great movies of 1988? If you'd like a 18"x24" giclée print of the poster — limited editions numbered up to 50 — it can be purchased here for $70. And, just because the dinner scene from Beetlejuice is too epic not...

The Movie Genres Recipe [Infographic]

Here are some popular movie genres, visually boiled down to their basic components. I especially love the last element of the Alien Invasion Movie Recipe!

Does your favorite movie fall under one of these genres? Does it fit the bill? Via Geek Tyrant....
