The Truth About Final Fantasy XIII

It's no secret that we are big-time video game lovers in our family, and I am unfortunately no exception. I absolutely LOVE Final Fantasy in the geekiest possible way. I have played FF's VII, VIII, IX, X (three times, it's may favorite), X-2, XI, XII, and I am SO EXCITED to announce that Trent just bought me XIII!!! This long awaited treasure on the Play Station 3 has been haunting my dreams for the past couple of years. I knew the story line, the characters, and the battle modes before the game was even released. I am so excited to add it to my nerdy little collection, and I have to say that, so far, it has not disappointed in the least.
I average about 150-200 clock hours per FF game. I am a perfectionist when it comes to these little babies and I leave no area unexplored and no treasure box unopened. I believe the official title for me in the gaming world is "a power gamer" or a "completionsit." Trent also says "fanatic" would suffice, although I am not sure he meant that in a nice way. So how does a busy mom who works full time have time to clock that many hours on a mindless game and STILL manage to spend quality time with her darling baby?? That's easy. This is how:

Give him his own controller and a special seat on the couch right next to you and he is just happy as a clam. It's only natural that Asher would enjoy a good video game as much as him mommy and daddy does, and the Truth is... we could (and have) sit and play the day away with one another.
