This awesome video outlines the storyline to Final Fantasy XIII, to prepare gamers for the new title in the series, Lightning Returns, coming out on February 11th. It’s got to be the single coolest promotion video I’ve ever seen, the entire game is re-done in the style of Final Fantasy VI for SNES. Check out the video:

Except for one time in the beginning of my writing gig here, I typically just delightedly write-up other people’s awesome nerdy projects in these Friday blurbs. Today, however, is another one of those rare times where I get to over-exuberantly tell you about something I’m personally involved in. ;)
SO HOLD ONTO YOUR BUTTS, ‘CUZ HERE IT COMES!!!:
Chiptunes = WIN presents
The Expansion Pack
