General busyness and RAGE!!!

Haven't posted anything here in a loooong time, partly due to the fact that school is particularly demanding in those last three months. There's a French exam coming up tomorrow and I'm feeling kind of ill-prepared (though I think I got through all of the important stuff).
Also our ever-so-friendly chemistry teacher doesn't let me off the hook yet (and her tests are MADNESS)

But anyway, off to another topic.
As much as I love Star Ocean 4, I could maim the level designers sometimes. So I'm at the final level, turns out I'm too weak yet to beat the boss.
It took me a whole 1.5 HOURS to get back to the ship, get healed and have my game saved. And those save points are rare, so I always had to fear losing my unsaved progress in case of a power failure.
