This
is from my brother's game called Freelancer, about a futuristic society in
which some group flees from some giant war in the solar system, and then
find a new galaxy and colonize it. There are representatives of five groups:
US, Japan, Britain, Spain, and Germany. Now they're called Liberty, Kusari,
Bretonnia, Hispania, and Rheinland, respectively. Those were also, incidentally,
the names of the colony ships that brought them there. So some random hotshot
young Bretonnian pilot named Edison Trent ("just call me Trent") is on a
space station in Liberty Space when it is randomly attacked and blown up,
well, seemingly randomly anyway. Then he's on the Liberty capital planet,
and bumps into this young beauty. She's from Kusari, but doesn't sound like
it, and anyway LSF stands for Liberty Security Force, so she's now a Liberty
citizen. She's the second main character. She and Eddie (I call him Eddie,
I'm so bad ^_^7) make a good couple. But there's nothing in the game about
a relationship... it's purely a 'boys blow stuff up' game. Mixed up with
sinister aliens trying to retake over the universe. That part reminds me
of Independance Day (which I hated and was way too freaked out to watch,
and it was playing on the bus taking St. John Ambulancers back from a first
aid competition. Ugh.).She's also called Juni for short.
Sunday, I don't think anything happened. There's a thing that happens on Sunday, though: when the day is over, I get depressed because I feel like I accomplished nothing useful or lasting. Well, sometime in here we watched A Series of Unfortunate Events with Mom, and I played Twilight Princess some more. Silly brother is miles and miles and miles ahead of me. He's not allowed to play anymore, not until I get past him, and probably not until I beat the game, which should be coming soon.
